Spring preload

The spring preload setting is determined by
measuring distance A, shown in the illustra-
tion. The shorter distance A is, the lower the
spring preload; the longer distance A is, the
higher the spring preload. With each com-
plete turn of the adjusting nut, distance A is
changed by 1.5 mm (0.06 in).
