4.2.7Weight transfer spring adjustment:
Weight transfer springs are assembled from the factory to apply the maximum amount of weight onto the drive wheels. This setting provides the greatest amount of traction. Some conditions may require the rear wheel lift to be reduced. This can be done by reducing the amount to weight transfer, which will increase the amount of weight on the front and rear castors.
a)To adjust the left weight transfer spring, rotate the left motion control arm up and into the operation position.
b)Locate and loosen the knob under the rear of the left fender. See Figure 15.
