5. Rotate the front A-arm to the desired position
(refer to the note below) and replace the ride height
adjustment bolt (Figure 42).
Note: The A-arms are made with rubber and have
different spring rates. Because of the different spring
rates, the A-arms come adjusted from the factory
based on that spring rate. Generally the adjustment
bolts will be installed in hole number 2, 3, or 4
(Figure 43) and it may be different from the left side
(driver side) to the right side (passenger side). If the
A-arms look like they are sagging, then they should
be adjusted to the next higher number (Figure 43).
Each hole equals about 3/4 inch (19 mm) of
adjustment at the wheel. You will also need to do
this if you are adding heavy attachments or carrying
heavy loads often.

Adjusting Front Wheel Toe-In

Check the front wheel toe-in after every 100 operating
hours, or annually, whichever occurs first.
The toe-in should be 1/8-5/8 inch (3-16 mm) with the
following parameters:
• The tire pressure should be at 12 psi (83 kPa).
• The ride height should be correct before setting the
toe-in; refer to Adjusting the Front Suspension.
• The vehicle should be driven back and forth a few
times to relax the A-arms.
• Measure the toe-in with the wheels facing straight
ahead and a 175-225 lb (79-102 kg) operator in the
driver's seat.
Note: The driver should drive up to the
measurement area and stay seated in the vehicle
while the measurement is being taken.
If the vehicle will be run with medium to heavy loads
most of the time, set the toe-in on the high side of
the recommended amount. If it is going to be run
