5. To adjust the length of the spring:
5a. Release the forward lever.
5b. Un-thread the hex nut halfway up the adjustment screw.
5c. Unhook the top of the spring from the lever.
5d. Use pliers to prevent the adjuster from turning, and turn the slotted screw located
inside the spring clockwise (viewed from operator’s position) to increase tension on
the spring. Turn the screw counter-clockwise to decrease tension. Once adjusted,
reattach the spring to the lever.
5e. Repeat Steps 2 and 3 to re-measure the length of the spring. When the second
measurement is between 1⁄16 to 3⁄16" (2 to 5 mm) shorter than the first measurement,
re-tighten the hex nut against the top of the adjuster.
