TIP
Although the total number of clicks of a
damping force adjusting mechanism
may not exactly match the above
specifications due to small differences
in production, the actual number of
clicks always represents the entire ad-
justing range. To obtain a precise ad-
justment, it would be advisable to
check the number of clicks of each
damping force adjusting mechanism
and to modify the specifications as
necessary.
