MAINTENANCE
Steering Wheel Inspection
Check the steering wheel for specied free play and smooth operation at the intervals outlined in the
Periodic Maintenance Chart.
1. Position the vehicle on a level surface.
2. Lightly turn the steering wheel left and right. There should be 0.8”-1.0” (20-25 mm) of free play at
the outer rim of the steering wheel.
3. If there is excessive free play or strange noises, or the steering feels rough or “catchy,” have the
steering system inspected by an authorized GREENWORKS dealer.
Front and Rear Shock Adjustment
The shock absorber assemblies contain highly pressurized nitrogen gas, read and understand the
following information before handling the shock absorber assemblies.
• Do not tamper with or attempt to openthe cylinder assemblies.
• Do not subject the shock absorber assemblies to an open flame or other high heat source. This may
cause the unit to explode due to excessive gas pressure.
• Do not deform or damage the cylinders in any way. Cylinder damage will result in poor damping
performance.
• Do not dispose of a damaged or wornout shock absorber assembly yourself. Take the shock
absorber assembly to a GREENWORKS dealer for any service.
The spring preload, rebound damping and compression damping forces of the front and rear shock
absorber assemblies can be adjusted to suit the operating conditions.
NOTE: Never turn an adjusting mechanism beyond the minimum and maximum settings.
Spring preload
1.Loosen the locknut.
2.Turn the spring preload adjusting nut in direction
ⓐ
to increase the spring preload and thereby
harden the suspension, and in direction
ⓑ
to decrease the spring preload and thereby soften the
suspension.
