Suspension Adjustment (if equipped)
The shock assemblies can be adjusted to vary the
amount of preload 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 machine on a flat, level surface. Disengage the
PTO, pivot the ground speed levers out to the START/
PARK position, and stop the engine.
2. Turn the pre-load adjustment collar (
A
, Figure 14-
front shown, rear similar) to a higher notch (
B
) to
decrease the pre-load, or to a lower notch (
C
) to in-
crease the pre-load. Make sure all shocks are set to
the same amount of pre-load.
