Suspension Adjustment (if equipped)
The shock assemblies (A, Figure 15 - front shown, rear similar)
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:
16
• 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, and stop the engine.
2. Turn the pre-load adjustment collar (B, Figure 15) to a higher
notch (-) to decrease the pre-load, or to a lower notch (+)
to increase the pre-load. Make sure all shocks are set to
the same amount of pre-load.
