Re b oun d d ampin g force
To increase the rebound damping
force and thereby harden the rebound
damping, turn the adjusting knob in di-
rection (a). To decrease the rebound
damping force and thereby soften the
rebound damping, turn the adjusting
knob in direction (b).
TIP
To obtain a precise adjustment, it is
advisable to check the actual total
number of clicks or turns of each
damping force adjusting mechanism.
This adjustment range may not exactly
match the specifications listed due to
small differences in production.
