c) Lowering the chassis
The rebound clearance can be reduced mechanically to
lower the chassis.
To do this, adjust a small set screw in each of the lower
four suspension arms.
Tightening the set screw reduces the distance by which
the suspension arm can extend and therefore lowers the
chassis.
When lowering the chassis, the shock absorbers should
be set harder accordingly so that the chassis does not
touch the ground.
d) Adjusting the shock absorbers
Front axle
Rear axle
At the upper end of the shock absorber, the spring tension can be adjusted by turning the knurled wheel (A).
The shock absorbers on the front and rear axle can be mounted in different positions above the shock absorber
bridge (B) and on the bottom suspension arm (C). The manufacturer has preconfigured an optimal position, therefore
changes should only be made by professional drivers.
Always ensure that the shock absorbers on each axle are level (i.e. on the left and right wheel of the front or rear axle),
otherwise the vehicle may not respond correctly.
Professional drivers can also use springs with a different hardness grade or fill the shock absorbers with a shock
absorber oil of a different viscosity.
As is the case with full-size vehicles, the shock absorbers (and the rubber seals in the shock absorbers) are wearable
parts. If oil leaks from the shock absorbers (e.g. the suspension arm is coated in oil, or there is dripping oil), the
gaskets or shock absorbers must be replaced.
