Tracking Adjustment
If the rider tracks (travels) to the right or left when the ground
speed control levers are pushed fully forward, adjust the rider
tracking:
NOTE:Only adjust the speed of the faster wheel.
• Turn the tracking knob (A, Figure 26) of the faster wheel
clockwise by 1/2-turn increments until the rider tracks
(travels) straight:
• If the rider tracks to the right, turn the left tracking
knob.
• If the rider tracks to the left, turn the right tracking
knob.

Suspension Adjustment
The shock assemblies (A, Figure 27 - front shown,
rear similar) can be adjusted to change the pre-load
(compression) applied to the springs.
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 the unit on a flat, level surface. Disengage the PTO,
move the ground speed control levers out to the START /
PARK position, and stop the unit.
2. Turn the pre-load adjustment collar (B, Figure 27) to a
higher notch (-) to decrease the pre-load, or to a lower
notch (+) to increase the pre-load. Make sure all shocks
are set to the same amount of pre-load.
