61” iCD Mower Deck

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. See Figure 40. 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.
