ECA10120 CAUTION: Always tighten the locknut against the adjusting nut, and then tighten the locknut to the specified torque. EWA10220 WARNING This shock absorber contains highly pressurized nitrogen gas. For proper handling, read and understand the following information before handling the shock absorber. The manufacturer cannot be held responsible 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 absorber to an open flame or other high heat sources, otherwise it may explode due to excessive gas pressure. G Do not deform or damage the gas cylinder in any way, as this will result in poor damping performance. 3 1. Distance A 1. Special wrench NOTE: The spring preload setting is determined by measuring distance A, shown in the illustration. The shorter distance A is, the lower the spring preload; the longer distance A is, the higher the spring preload. Spring preload: Minimum (soft): Distance A = 42.5 mm (1.67 in) Standard: XV17AV(C)/XV17AWV(C)/ XV17AMV(C) Distance A = 42.5 mm (1.67 in) XV17ATV(C)/XV17ATMV(C) Distance A = 45.5 mm (1.79 in) Maximum (hard): Distance A = 51.5 mm (2.03 in) 3.

direction (b).
NOTE:
The spring preload setting is deter-
mined by measuring distance A, shown
in the illustration. The shorter distance
A is, the lower the spring preload; the
longer distance A is, the higher the
spring preload.

torque.
CAUTION:

WARNING
EWA10220
This shock absorber contains highly
pressurized nitrogen gas. For prop-
er handling, read and understand
the following information before
handling the shock absorber. 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 cylinder.
●
Do not subject the shock ab-
sorber to an open flame or other
high heat sources, otherwise it
may explode due to excessive
gas pressure.
●
Do not deform or damage the
gas cylinder in any way, as this
will result in poor damping per-
formance.
