The pre-load varies by 1.5 mm at every turn of the regulation ring nut.
To facilitate the operation, we recommend disassembling and carefully
cleaning the shock absorber.
In the event the pre-load variation is not sufficient, replace the spring
with another one with a different spring rate.

IBLE ABOVE THE ADJUSTMENT RING.

Loosen the locking ring nut (1) and rotate the adjustment ring nut (2). Rotate it
anticlockwise (seen from above) to decrease the pre-load or clockwise (seen from
above) to increase it. After adjusting, tighten the locking ring nut (1).
