TIP
 The spring preload setting is determined by
measuring distance A, shown in the illustration.
 The shorter distance A is, the greater the spring
preload. The longer distance A is, the lesser the
spring preload.
 Each complete turn of the adjusting nut chang-
es distance A by 1.5 mm (0.06 in).
Spring preload setting:
Minimum (soft):
Distance A = 268.0 mm (10.55 in)
Standard:
Distance A = 262.0 mm (10.31 in)
Maximum (hard):
Distance A = 253.0 mm (9.96 in)
