Front/Rear Spring Preload (EPS Deluxe)
The front and rear suspensions are preload adjustable. The suspensions are set on the lowest setting at the factory. The factory setting is appropriate for nearly all riding conditions.
If desired, the suspension may be adjusted to maintain vehicle clearance height when carrying loads. Always heed the following rules if you make adjustments to this suspension.
-
Always return the suspension to the lowest setting after the load is removed from the vehicle. The increased suspension height will negatively impact vehicle stability when operating without a load.
-
Always apply the same adjustment setting to all four wheels.
-
Do not increase the spring preload by more than one inch (25.4 mm) over the factory setting.
