CAUTION
Adjust the spring preload and the hydraulic braking
with extended shock absorber according to the con-
ditions of use of the vehicle.
When the spring preload is increased, it is necessary
to increase also the hydraulic braking with extended
shock absorber, in order to avoid sudden jerks while
riding.
In order not to affect the operation of the shock ab-
sorber, it is absolutely forbidden to loosen or remove
the screw (7), since this may cause the outflow of ni-
trogen with the consequent risk of serious accidents.
