ments that may interfere with the safe and
block wheels. Use jack stands or solid wood
blocks to support the raised machine. If the machine
is not properly supported by blocks or
jack stands, the machine may move or fall,
which may result in personal injury.
2. Jack front of machine off ground (see Jacking Instructions
in Operator’s Manual). Support machine to allow
front suspension to hang freely from machine.
3. Remove front wheel assembly (see Front Wheels
and Hubs).
4. Disassemble front suspension as needed using Figure
5 as a guide.
A. If wheel hub requires removal, see Front Wheels
and Hubs Removal in this section. If spindle requires
removal, see Spindles in this section.
B. When removing leaf springs, support axle to prevent
it from falling. Loosen fasteners that secure
springs to frame attachment points. Loosen and remove
cap screws and locknuts that secure spring
plate. Remove shackles, bushings, shoulder bolts,
lock washers and hex nuts from spring and frame.
Remove leaf springs from machine.
C. If front axle removal is required, remove steering

Assembly (Fig. 5)
1. Assemble front suspension using Figure 5 as a
guide.
A. When installing suspension components, loosely
install all fasteners before tightening any of the fasteners.
B. If wheel hub was removed, see Front Wheels and
Hubs Installation in this section. If spindle was removed,
see Spindles in this section.
NOTE: When installing leaf springs, make sure front
axle and spring plate are centered on the screw head
and nut that fasten spring leaves.
IMPORTANT: If leaf spring replacement is needed,
always replace both springs for proper vehicle
performance.
C. To install leaf springs, attach springs to frame with
shackles, bushings, shoulder bolts, lock washers
and hex nuts without tightening fasteners. Install
spring plate to top of spring assembly with curved
edge toward spring. Install and tighten cap screws
and lock nuts in a crossing pattern until spring plate,
leaf spring and axle contact. Fully tighten fasteners
that secure springs to frame. Torque lock nuts that
secure spring plate 35 ft–lb (47 N–m) using a crossing
pattern.

could result in failure or loss of wheel and may
result in personal injury.
2. Install wheel with valve stem facing out and secure
with lug nuts. Torque lug nuts evenly in a crossing pattern
from 55 to 75 ft–lb (75 to 102 N–m).
3. Lower machine to ground.
4. Lubricate suspension grease fittings (see Operator’s
Manual).
