Neutral Adjustment
The neutral system for this unit is a function of the transaxles.
1. Drive the unit to a flat, level surface. Engage the parking
brake and disengage the PTO.
2. Without touching the ground speed control levers
disengage the parking brake. If the unit moves, the
neutral systems on the transaxles are not correctly
adjusted. See your authorized Ferris® servicing dealer.
Suspension Adjustment
The shock assemblies (A, Figure 38 - front shown, rear
similar) can be adjusted to vary the amount of pre-load
applied to the springs. This allows the operator to customize
the ride according to operator’s weight and operating
conditions.
Less Pre-Load:
• Light operator weight
• Softer, more cushioned ride
• Best for relatively flat terrain
More Pre-Load:
• Heavy operator weight
• Stiffer, more rigid ride
• Better handling and greater stability on hilly terrain
To Adjust the Spring Pre-Load:
1. Park the unit on a flat, level surface. Disengage the PTO,
pivot the ground speed control levers out to the START/
PARK position, and stop the unit.
2. Turn the pre-load adjustment collar (B, Figure 38) to a
higher notch (-) to decrease the pre-load, or to a lower
notch (+) to increase the pre-load. Make sure all shocks
are set to the same amount of pre-load.
