However, it is also possible to adjust the
setting according to the intended use of the
vehicle.

For the adjustment, always start from
the most rigid setting [complete clock-
wise rotation of the adjusters (1-2)].

adjusters as reference marks for the ad-
justment of the hydraulic braking with
compressed and extended shock ab-

Gradually rotate the adjusters (1-2) giv-
ing 1/8 turn per time.
