Adjusting Front Suspension (Coil Over Shocks)
The front shock absorbers are set to the softest setting
(shock adjustment collar at its lowest point) at the facto-
ry. The factory setting should be suitable for most appli-
cations. If additional weight is added to the operator’s
platform (i.e. cab, heavy operator, etc.) the front shock
spring pre−load can be increased. Incorrect front sus-
pension setting can change the spray nozzle height rel-
ative to the ground, affect steering and can cause
accelerated tire wear and scuffing.
NOTE: The front shocks can be adjusted with the ma-
chine on the ground, but is easier when the front of the
machine is safely lifted off the ground.
1. Chock rear wheels to prevent vehicle from shifting.
Lift front of machine using a jack or hoist to allow front
suspension to relax (see Jacking Instructions in Chapter
1 − Safety in this manual). Support raised machine with
jack stands.
2. Turn the front wheels all the way to the left or right as
needed to better access the shock adjustment collar
(Fig. 4).
3. Use spanner wrench (TOR6010: see Special Tools
in this chapter) to rotate shock absorber adjustment col-
lar which changes the length/pe−load of the shock
spring.
4. Remove jack stands and lower machine to ground.
