of spindle. See right. If the length is
out of specification do the following:
Firmly extend the telescope until it
stops (tip - listen for the knocking at
full extension to change from a hollow
sound to a solid sound - this indicates
full extension has been achieved). Do
this several times using only moderate
force, extend the lower fork leg using a
pumping action.
After, you have performed this
action several times, re-measure.
CAUTION
If fork is out range following reset
