 When adjusting the damping force settings,
turn the adjuster in direction (a) until it
stops, and then count the turns or clicks in
direction (b).

turn or click beyond the stated minimum
settings, such adjustments are ineffective
and may damage the suspension.

preload and thereby soften the suspen-
sion.
