Adjusting the shock absorber
assembly
This shock absorber assembly is
equipped with a spring preload adjust-
ing ring.
NOTICE
To avoid damaging the mechanism,
do not attempt to turn beyond the
maximum or minimum settings.
Adjust the spring preload as follows.
To increase the spring preload and
thereby harden the suspension, turn
the adjusting ring in direction (a). To
decrease the spring preload and there-
by soften the suspension, turn the ad-
justing ring in direction (b).
Align the appropriate notch in the
EWA14372
adjusting ring with the position in-
dicator on the shock absorber.
Use the special wrench and the
extension bar included in the own-
er's tool kit to make the adjust-
ment.
