INSTRUMENT AND CONTROL FUNCTIONS
NOTE:
_ '
Although the total number of clicks of a
damping force adjusting mechanism
may not exactly match the above spec-
ifications due to small differences in
production, the actual number of clicks
always represents the entire adjusting
range. To obtain a precise adjustment,
it would be advisable to check the num-
ber of clicks of each damping force ad-
justing mechanism and to modify the
specifications as necessary.

sponsible for property damage or
personal injury that may result from
improper handling.
G
Do not tamper with or attempt to
open the gas cylinder.
G Do not subject the shock ab-
sorber to an open flame or other
high heat sources, otherwise it
