You can tell difference by looking at the soft end stops on the
dampeners. ALL first generation dampeners will be replaced
by Flowcine, as soon as possible, due to production errors
emailed earlier. If you have a urgent problem with your

- Page 11 Begin with adjusting the vertical arm dampener to it’s softest position. This is where the dampener provides the least force. This is done by turning the +/- knob on the dampener. Let the system hang freely on the Black arm, and look at the boom angle of the arm. If the arm is booming up that means that the springs are adjusted to strong and you will need to release some tension.
