Troubleshooting, Adjustment & Repair
WARNING
Use two hands when adjusting the shock
springs. This will prevent the wrench from
slipping while pressure is being applied.
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.
