Maintenance Schedule - Briggs & Stratton Victa 46 23HP Manual Del Operador

CAUTION
To avoid injury, assistance is required when removing or
installing the cargo bed.
Suspension Adjustment (if equipped)
The shock assemblies (A, Figure 15 - front shown, rear similar)
can be adjusted to vary the amount of pre-load applied to the
springs. This allows the operator to customize the ride according
to operator's weight and operating conditions.
Less Pre-Load:
• Light operator weight
• Softer, more cushioned ride
• Best for relatively flat terrain
More Pre-Load:
• Heavy operator weight
• Stiffer, more rigid ride
• Better handling and greater stability on hilly terrain
To Adjust the Spring Pre-Load:
1. Park machine on a flat, level surface. Disengage the PTO,
pivot the ground speed levers out to the START/ PARK
position, and stop the engine.
2. Turn the pre-load adjustment collar (B, Figure 15) to a higher
notch (-) to decrease the pre-load, or to a lower notch (+)
to increase the pre-load. Make sure all shocks are set to
the same amount of pre-load.
