Note: You can pull up the adjuster link and cable to
make unhooking the spring easier.
2. Move the Z-fitting to a higher or lower hole on the
adjuster link as needed to obtain the 2 mm to 3 mm
(1/16-inch to 1/8-inch) gap between the control bar
and the handle
Note: Moving the Z-fitting higher decreases the gap
between the control bar and the handle; moving it
lower increases the gap.
