Operator Platform Adjustment

There are three springs that are located under the operator
platform. The two side springs can be adjusted forward or
rearward to allow for operator ride preference. Figure 4-16
These two springs should always be in line with each other.
No spring should be further forward or rearward than the
other.
The center spring is non-adjustable.
To adjust the springs:
1. Loosen the lower nut enough to allow the spring to
move. Figure 4-17
2. Tighten the lower nut after the spring is located in the
desired position. Figure 4-17
3. Repeat for the other side.
