To increase the rebound damping for-
ce and thereby harden the rebound
damping, turn the adjusting screw in
direction (a). To decrease the rebound
damping force and thereby soften the
rebound damping, turn the adjusting
screw in direction (b).
TIP
To obtain a precise adjustment, it is
advisable to check the actual total
number of turns of the damping force
adjusting mechanism. This adjustment
range may not exactly match the spec-
ifications listed due to small differenc-
es in production.
