CHECKLIST B PROCEDURES

Inspect the Suspension
Axle specifi cations require that this procedure
be performed every 3000 miles or quarterly,
whichever comes fi rst.
Maintaining the axle suspension in good
condition is essential to safe operation and good
performance. Towing the machine with worn or
damaged suspension components could result
in a tip-over. Component damage may also result
if problems are not discovered and repaired in a
timely fashion.
1 Working with a fl ashlight or in a well lit shop,
carefully inspect all suspension components
and fasteners. Replace as necessary.
