Option: Modifying the Travel Range
The travel range of the V-551 can be changed by displacing the integrated hard stops.
NOTICE
Improper displacement of the hard stops!
Improper displacement of the hard stops damages the V-551.
Do not let any screws or other foreign bodies fall inside the V-551.
After displacement of the hard stops, make sure that the two adjustable parts are present
and properly mounted.
Attach the cover again after displacing the hard stops.
