CAUTION
For the adjustment, always start from
the most rigid setting (adjuster com-
pletely rotated clockwise).
Do not force the rotation of the adjust-
ers (1-2) beyond the end of stroke in
both directions, in order to avoid any
damage.
Use the notches (1-2) provided on the
adjusters as reference marks for the ad-
justment of the hydraulic braking with
compressed and extended shock ab-
sorber.
Give the adjusters (1-2) 1/8 turn at a time
and turn the adjusting nut (3) one notch
at a time. Test the vehicle repeatedly on
the road, until obtaining the optimal ad-
justment.
Set the same spring preload and hydrau-
lic braking for both rods: a different set-
ting of the rods decreases the stability of
the vehicle while riding.
When the spring preload is increased, it
is necessary to increase also the hydrau-
lic braking, in order to avoid sudden
jerks while riding.
