MAINTENANCE
Suspension Adjustment
The front and rear suspensions are preload adjustable, with five settings
on each axle.
The suspensions are set on the lowest (softest) setting at the factory.
This setting is appropriate for nearly all riding conditions. Since the
vehicle is equipped with full skid plates, suspension 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.
Always heed the following rules if you make adjustments to this suspen-
sion.
• Always return the suspension to the lowest (softest) 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.
• Never operate the vehicle on the highest (stiffest) or second highest
preload settings without a total combined payload in the vehicle of
450 lbs. (204 kg) or more. Payload includes the driver, passenger,
Polaris-approved accessories and cargo. Never exceed the stated load
capacity for this vehicle. See page 126.
