3. Tighten the locknut to the specified
torque.
CAUTION:
ECA11240
Always tighten the locknut against
the adjusting nut, and then tighten
the locknut to the specified torque.
Rebound damping force
To increase the rebound damping force
and thereby harden the rebound damp-
ing, turn the adjusting dial in direction
(a). To decrease the rebound damping
force and thereby soften the rebound
damping, turn the adjusting dial in di-
rection (b).
NOTE:
Although the total number of clicks of
the damping force adjusting mecha-
nism may not exactly match the above
specifications due to small differences
in production, the actual number of
clicks always represents the entire ad-
justing range. To obtain a precise ad-
justment, it would be advisable to check
the number of clicks of the damping
force adjusting mechanism and to mod-
ify the specifications as necessary.
