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 15. 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 ring against the adjustment collar to prevent the
collar from loosening during operation.
