Location of adjustment knobs

There are four adjustment knobs, two for the front shock absorbers and two for the rear. There are adjustment knobs at each wheel. All shock absorbers are adjustable for total suspension level.

For the front wheels, the adjustment knobs are located at the bottom of the shock absorber, near the wheel. The adjustment knobs for the rear wheels are located above each wheel in the wheel housing.

The front shock absorbers are also equipped with separate compression adjustment1. The adjustment knobs for this are located on the gas containers in the front cargo compartment.

To access the adjustment knobs in the front, simply turn the wheel until the shock absorber is visible. To access the adjustment knobs in the rear, the inner lining of the wheel housing must be removed and the vehicle lifted using a jack or similar; see separate section.

Adjusting front suspension settings

To select adjustment position 0, turn the adjustment knob clockwise, viewed from below, until it stops.

Do not over-tighten the adjustment knob – the shock absorbers can be damaged by excessive tightening torque.

Turn the adjustment knob counterclockwise to the desired adjustment position. You should feel and hear a click each time the adjustment position is changed.

Then follow the same procedure for the second shock absorber.
