Damping force
To increase the damping force and
thereby harden the damping, turn the
adjusting knob on each shock absorber
assembly in direction (a). To decrease
the damping force and thereby soften
the damping, turn the adjusting knob on
each shock absorber assembly in di-
rection (b).
NOTE:
Align the appropriate setting on the ad-
justing knob with the position indicator
on the shock absorber.
WARNING
EWA10230
These shock absorbers contain
highly pressurized nitrogen gas. For
proper handling read and under-
stand the following information be-
fore handling the shock absorbers.
The manufacturer cannot be held re-
sponsible for property damage or
personal injury that may result from
improper handling.
●
Do not tamper with or attempt to
open the gas cylinders.
●
Do not subject the shock ab-
sorbers to an open flame or oth-
er high heat sources, otherwise
they may explode due to exces-
sive gas pressure.
●
Do not deform or damage the
gas cylinders in any way, as this
will result in poor damping per-
formance.
