Suspension Settings (EPS)
Front/Rear Spring Preload
The front and rear suspensions are preload adjustable, with five possible settings. The
suspensions are set on the lowest setting at the factory. The factory setting is appropriate for
nearly all riding conditions.
If desired, the suspension may be adjusted to
maintain vehicle clearance height when
carrying loads. Always heed the following
rules if you make adjustments to this
suspension.
• Always return the suspension to the lowest
setting after the load is removed from the
vehicle. The increased suspension height
will negatively impact vehicle stability
when operating without a load.
• Always apply the same adjustment setting
to all four wheels.
Adjust the front and rear shock springs by rotating the adjustment cam either clockwise or
counter-clockwise to increase or decrease spring tension.
