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. 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.
