spring stopper protrudes from the torque spring case as
the protrusion table below.
(2) Then, tighten the locknut to the specified torque to
secure the adjusting screw.
(3) With the spring stopper pushed in as described above
(1), make sure the spring stopper moves smoothly and
is properly retracted to the end face of the torque spring
case.
(4) To check the protrusion of the spring stopper is
correctly adjusted, place the torque spring set as shown

spring stopper and set the pointer to zero. Then, push in
the spring stopper and slightly displace the torque
spring set to the side. Read extension of the dial gauge
