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.
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 vehi-
cle 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.
4. Tighten the jam nut firmly against the
adjuster ring.
