CAUTION
Adjust the spring preload and the hydraulic braking
with extended shock absorber according to the con-
ditions of use of the vehicle.
When the spring preload is increased, it is necessary
to increase also the hydraulic braking with extended
shock absorber, in order to avoid sudden jerks while
riding.
Turn the screw adjuster (1) 2-3 clicks at a time, the
knob adjuster (2) 5-6 clicks at a time and the adjust-
ing ring nut (3) one turn at a time.
Test the vehicle repeatedly on the road, until obtain-
ing the optimal adjustment.
To avoid affecting the operation of the shock absorb-
er, neither remove the plug (7), nor adjust the under-
lying valve, since this may cause nitrogen to flow out,
with consequent risk of accidents.
