Troubleshooting, Adjustment & Repair
WARNING
Use two hands when adjusting the shock
springs. This will prevent the wrench from
slipping while pressure is being applied.
Suspension Adjustment
The shock assembly can be adjusted to vary the
amount of pre-load applied to the springs. This allows
the operator to maintain the ride height.
Use less pre-load for light weight operators. Use
more pre-load for heavy weight operators.
FRONT REAR
Figure 43. Suspension Adjustment
To adjust the spring pre-load:
1. Park machine on a flat, level surface. Disengage
the PTO, stop the engine and engage the parking
brake.
2. See Figure 43. Using the supplied spanner
wrench (p/n 5022853), insert the tip of the
wrench into the notch in the pre-load adjuster.
While holding the wrench with both hands, turn
CLOCKWISE to decrease the pre-load, turn
COUNTER-CLOCKWISE to increase the pre-
load. Make sure that for each pair of shocks that
the left-hand and right-hand are set to the same
amount of pre-load.
NOTE: Spanner wrench is located under the seat.
Rear tires must be removed to adjust the rear
suspension.
NOTE: It is recommended that the rear suspension
be adjusted stiffer due to the added weight of the
collection system.
