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 the damp-
ing force adjusting mechanism. This
adjustment range may not exactly
match the specifications listed due to
small differences in production.
