Cargo Bed (select models)
The cargo bed is designed to carry up to 50 lbs (22,7 kg).
Slots in the rear of the bed will accommodate a 2 x 4 or 2 x
6 to help secure loads during transport.
WARNING
Amputation hazard
Rotating blades cut off arms and legs. Do not carry rid-
ers (especially children) even with the blades off. They
may fall off or return for another ride when you are not
expecting it.
WARNING
Loss of Control and Roll-Over Hazard
Operating with loads in the cargo bed greater than 50
lbs can be hazardous and cause loss of control and roll-
overs.
The cargo bed can be raised to access the engine com-
partment without removing it. First, raise the seat (A,
Figure 14). Then pull up firmly on the rear of the bed (B).
When lowering the bed, press down firmly to secure the
rear of the bed in place with the locking clips (D).
To remove the cargo bed, remove the pins (C, Figure 14)
securing the front of the bed to the rider frame. Pull up
firmly on the rear of the bed to release the locking clips (D),
then lift and remove the cargo bed from the rider.
CAUTION
To avoid injury, assistance is required when removing
or installing the cargo bed.
To install the cargo bed, position the bed over the engine
compartment, aligning the holes in the front of the bed with
the holes in the frame brackets. Install the pins (C, Figure
14) into the holes. Then lower the rear of the bed, pressing
down firmly to secure with the locking clips (D).
CAUTION
To avoid injury, assistance is required when removing
or installing the cargo bed.

Suspension Adjustment (if equipped)
The shock assemblies can be adjusted to vary the amount
of preload 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, pivot the ground speed levers out to the START/
PARK position, engage the parking brake, and stop the
engine.
2. Turn the pre-load adjustment collar (A, Figure 15 - front
shown, rear similar) to a higher notch (B) to decrease
the pre-load, or to a lower notch (C) to increase the
pre-load. Make sure all shocks are set to the same
amount of pre-load.
