Setting the balance
Rebalance the system after every change of equipment.
• Hold the suspension arm with your hand and release the brake using the
"Brake" adjusting knob (1).
• To set the balance, turn the "Balance setting" adjustment knob (2) until
the suspension arm, with its brake released, can be smoothly moved up-
wards and downwards in the entire adjustment range and stops in any re-
quired position.
