SUSPENSION ADJUSTMENT(SELECT MODELS)

The shock assembly 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 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. Park machine on a flat, level surface. Disengage

the PTO, stop the engine and engage the parking

brake.

2. See Figure 34. Turn the pre-load adjustment collar

(A) CLOCKWISE to increase the pre-load, turn

COUNTER-CLOCKWISE to decrease the pre-

load. Make sure both front shocks are set to the

same amount of pre-load. Make sure both rear

shocks are set to the same amount of pre-load.

NOTE: After adjusting the front shock assembly, move

the o-ring against the adjustment collar to prevent the

collar from loosening during operation.

PARKINGBRAKE ADJUSTMENT

1. Disengage the PTO, stop the engine, engage the

parking brake, and remove the key from the

ignition.

2. Raise the seat plate to gain access to the parking

brake components.

3. Measure the distance from the top of the brake

spring rod (C, Figure 33) to the top of the lock nut

(D) on both sides of the unit. The measurement

should be .50”(1,27 cm). If not, adjust the locknut

to achieve the measurement of .50”(1,27 cm).

4. Measure the distance between the bottom of the

brake shaft weldment (G) and the top of the set

collar (F).The measurement should be .125” (0,32

cm).If not, position the set collar until the

measurement equals .125”(0,32 cm).
