SUSPENSION ADJUSTMENT

This unit is equipped with adjustable shock assemblies. The shocks can be adjusted to vary the amount of pre-load applied to the springs. This allows the operator to customize the ride according to operator’s weight and/or 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.Locate the pe-load adjuster collar on the shock assembly. See Figure 46.

2.Using the supplied spanner wrench (p/n 5022853), insert the tip of the wrench into the notch in the pre-load adjuster. While holding the wrench in place with one hand, turn COUNTER- CLOCKWISE to increase the pre-load, turn CLOCKWISE to decrease the pre-load. Make sure that both front shocks are set to the same amount of pre-load. Make sure that both rear shocks are set to the same amount of pre-load.

NOTE: Spanner wrench is located under the seat, in between the water separator and the brake cable.

NOTE: It is recommended that the rear suspension be adjusted stiffer due to the added weight of the collection system.
