Adjust torsion spring blocks or install optional torsion springs to achieve correct sag dimensions. • Check for binding suspension components and grease all pivot points. • Verify sag dimension (see page 90). Adjust torsion spring blocks or install optional torsion springs to achieve correct sag dimensions. • Decrease shock compression damping (see page 35). • Verify sag dimension (see page 90). Adjust torsion spring blocks or install optional torsion springs to achieve correct sag dimensions. • Adjust suspension coupler (see page 35). • Verify sag dimension (see page 90). Adjust torsion spring blocks or install optional torsion springs to achieve correct sag dimensions. • Adjust suspension coupler (see page 35). • Check for worn skags • Check for binding front suspension shafts and steering components, grease all pivot points (elevate front of machine). • Verify sag dimension (see page 90).
