Turn the adjusting bolt in direction (a)
to increase the spring preload.
Turn the adjusting bolt in direction (b)
to decrease the spring preload. The spring preload setting is deter-
mined by measuring distance A,
shown in the illustration. The shorter
distance A is, the higher the spring pre-
load; the longer distance A is, the lower
the spring preload.
