MAINTENANCE Suspension Settings (RZR S Premium Models and RZR 4) Front/Rear Spring Preload The factory setting is appropriate for nearly all riding conditions. Since the vehicle is equipped with full skid plates, adjustment is not necessary. If desired, the suspension may be adjusted to maintain vehicle clearance height when carrying loads. Please see your POLARIS dealer for the tool required to make suspension adjustments. Elevate the vehicle slightly for easier adjustment. Factory Preload Settings RZR S Premium Front RZR S Premium Rear RZR 4 Front RZR 4 Rear 3.50" (88.9 mm) 5.38" (136.6 mm) 4.76" (120.9 mm) 5.44" (138.2 mm) Preload Setting Measurement Follow these guidelines if you make adjustments to this suspension. • Always return the suspension to the factory 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. 1. Elevate the vehicle to allow the suspension to fully extend. 2. Loosen the jam nut and back it away from the adjusting ring. 3. Turn the adjusting ring to the left (1) to increase preload for a stiffer ride. Turn the adjusting ring to the right (2) to decrease preload for a softer ride. WARNING! Uneven adjustment may cause poor handling of the vehicle, which could result in an accident. Always adjust both the left and right spring preloads equally or have your POLARIS dealer perform the adjustments. 1 2 Adjusting Ring 4. Tighten the jam nut firmly against the adjuster ring. 103
