NOTE:
_
Although the total number of clicks of
the rebound damping force adjusting
mechanism may not exactly match the
above specifications due to small dif-
ferences in production, the actual num-
ber of clicks always represents the
entire adjusting range. To obtain a pre-
cise adjustment, it would be advisable
to check the number of clicks of the re-
bound damping force adjusting mecha-
nism and to modify the specifications
as necessary.
_
Compression damping force
To harden the compression damping,
decrease the setting by turning the ad-
justing screw. To soften the compres-
sion damping, increase the setting by
turning the adjusting screw. Make sure
that the position indicator is aligned
with the appropriate setting.
