face:
1) Twist the adjustment rings on both sides of the frame equally (see Fig. 26, item 1).
→ Clockwise: the suspension becomes tighter.
→ Counterclockwise: the suspension becomes softer.
2) Check that the adjustment rings are positioned the same on both sides. The 4 marks can be used for orienta­
tion (see Fig. 26, item 2; see Fig. 27, item 1).
