SPRING ADJUSTMENT - GENERAL 4
WARNING
Uneven adjustment may cause poor handling of the
vehicle, which could result in an accident and serious
injury or death. Always adjust both the left and right
spring equally.
The factory setting is appropriate for nearly all riding
conditions. If desired, the spring setting may be adjusted
to maintain vehicle clearance height when carrying
loads.
1. Raise and safely support front or rear of the vehicle
off the ground to allow the suspension to fully extend.
2. Using the shock spanner/spreader tool (PN
2877408
)
included in the vehicle’s tool kit, turn the adjustment
collar
q
to increase or decrease ride height.
WARNING
DO NOT increase the spring adjustment
q
by more
than one inch (25.4 mm) over the factory setting.
Always return the spring adjuster to the factory setting
after the load is removed from the vehicle. The
increased suspension height will negatively impact
vehicle stability when operating without a load.
