MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENT OF THE UTV
- 117-
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.
Locknut ①
Spring preload adjusting nut ②
Special wrench ③
·A special wrench can be obtained at a HSUN
dealer to make this adjustment.
·The spring preload setting is determined by
measuring ①, shown in the illustration. The
shorter ① is, the lower the spring preload; the
longer distance A is, the higher the spring
preload. With each complete turn of the adjusting
nut.
Spring travel setting(Front)
Minimum(soft): 332mm(13.07 in)
Maximum(hard): 442mm(17.40in)
Spring travel setting(Rear)
Minimum(soft): 402mm(15.83in)
Maximum(hard): 502mm(19.76 in)
3. Tighten the locknut.
NOTE:
Always tighten the locknut against the
adjusting nut, and then tighten it to the
specified torque.
Rebound damping force
Turn the rebound damping force adjusting screw
① in direction S to increase the rebound
damping force and thereby harden the damping,
and in direction F to decrease the rebound
damping force and thereby soften the damping.
