61" iCD Mower Deck

Suspension Adjustment

The shock assembly can be adjusted to vary the amount
of pre-load applied to the springs. This allows the
operator to maintain the ride height.
Use less pre-load for light weight operators. Use more
pre-load for heavy weight operators.
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 40. Using the supplied spanner wrench
(p/n 5022853), insert the tip of the wrench into
the notch in the pre-load adjuster. While holding
the wrench with both hands, turn CLOCKWISE to
decrease the pre-load, turn COUNTER-CLOCKWISE
to increase the pre-load. Make sure that for each
pair of shocks (A, B or C, Figure 40) that the left-
hand and right-hand are set to the same amount of
pre-load.
NOTE: Spanner wrench is located under the seat. Rear
tires must be removed to adjust the rear suspension.
