Adjust the spring preload as follows.
To increase the spring preload and
thereby harden the suspension, turn
the adjusting ring on each shock ab-
sorber assembly in direction (a). To de-
crease the spring preload and thereby
soften the suspension, turn the adjust-
ing ring on each shock absorber as-
sembly in direction (b).
Align the appropriate notch in the
adjusting ring with the position in-
dicator on the shock absorber.
Use the spring preload adjusting
tool included in the owner’s tool
kit to make this adjustment.
