this distance may result in personal injury.
REAR SPRING
Rear spring tension adjustment is accomplished
by rotating the adjustment cam. Each cam is
numbered 1-4 for easy identi f ication with position
4 providing t he stiffest ride and position 1 for the
light driver or slow speed trail driving. Positions 2
and 3 are for the average operator under normal
cond itions with pos ition 3 providing the stiffer
ride.
To rotate the cam , insert the handle from the
spark-plug wrench into one of the holes in the ad-
justment cam . Rotate the handle until the cam is
in the desired position. Make the adjustment on
the other cam making sure both cams are ad-
justed equal ly.
