To increase the spring preload and
thereby harden the suspension, turn
the adjusting knob in direction (a). To
decrease the spring preload and there-
by soften the suspension, turn the ad-
justing knob in direction (b).
The spring preload setting is deter-
mined by measuring distance A,
shown in the illustration. The shorter
the distance A is, the higher the spring
preload; the longer distance A is, the
lower the spring preload.
