The front shock absorbers (700 HDX) or
front and rear shock absorbers (500
HDX/Prowler models) have an adjust-
ment sleeve with five preload adjustment
positions that can be turned with a special
spanner wrench to increase or decrease
coil spring tension.
To adjust the spring force on these shock
absorbers, rotate the pre-load adjustment
sleeve with a suitable spanner wrench
until desired spring tension is achieved.


NOTE: Before attempting to
adjust suspension, clean dirt and
debris from the sleeve and remove
load from the suspension; then use
the spanner wrench to adjust the
sleeve to the desired position.
On the 700 HDX, the rear shock absorb-
ers combine fixed pre-load springs and a
variable air assist to provide adjustment
allowing for differing driving and load-
ing conditions.
To adjust air pressure on these shock
absorbers, connect the air pump to the
valve fitting on the top of the shock
absorber and pump (to increase pressure)
or depress bleed valve (to decrease pres-
sure) until desired pressure is achieved.

NOTE: For proper air pressure in
rear shocks, use the following rec-
ommended settings. The vehicle
must be on the ground with no load
in cargo box. Do not rapidly fill
shocks. Shocks may lose air over
time. Check pressure periodically.

General Lubrication
Cables
None of the cables require lubrication;
however, it is advisable to lubricate the
ends of the cables periodically with a
good cable lubricant.
Cargo Box Latches (HDX)
Periodically apply a light coat of grease
to the latches and pins. Do not over
grease.
Engine/Transmission Oil
and Filter

NOTE: Refer to the recommended
oil viscosity chart (on page 35) in
this manual for the proper engine oil.
Change the engine oil and oil filter at the
scheduled intervals. The engine should
always be warm when the oil is changed
so the oil will drain easily and completely.
1. Park the vehicle on level ground.
2. Remove the seat(s); then remove the
center console (Prowler) or seat back
and seat back (HDX).
