Compression damping force

Compression damping force (for fast
compression damping)
To increase the compression damping
force and thereby harden the compres-
sion damping, turn the adjusting bolt in
direction (a). To decrease the compres-

sion damping force and thereby soften
the compression damping, turn the ad-
justing bolt in direction (b).

Compression damping force (for slow
compression damping)
To increase the compression damping
force and thereby harden the compres-

sion damping, turn the adjusting screw
in direction (a). To decrease the com-
pression damping force and thereby
soften the compression damping, turn
the adjusting screw in direction (b).

TIP

To obtain a precise adjustment, it is ad-
