SUSPENSION ADJUSTMENT
(SELECT MODELS)
The shock assembly can be adjusted to vary the
amount of pre-load applied to the springs. This
allows the operator to customize the ride according to
operator’s weight and operating conditions.
LESS PRE-LOAD:
• Light operator weight
• Softer, more cushioned ride
• Best for relatively flat terrain
MORE PRE-LOAD:
• Heavy operator weight
• Stiffer, more rigid ride
• Better handling and greater stability on hilly terrain
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 28. Turn the pre-load adjustment
collar (A) CLOCKWISE to increase the pre-load,
turn COUNTER-CLOCKWISE to decrease the pre-
load. Make sure both front shocks are set to the
same amount of pre-load. Make sure both rear
shocks are set to the same amount of pre-load.
NOTE: After adjusting the front shock assembly,
move the o-ring against the adjustment collar to
prevent the collar from loosening during operation.
