    (clicks), each of which marks an adjustment position (fig. 4).
  4. To increase rebound damping, turn the piston rod one ormore clicks to
    the right (clockwise), and release the adjusting knob. DO NOT USE FORCE!

    NOTE:
    Some shock absorbers include a bump rubber concealed under the dust
    cover and this must be removed prior to adjusting. Do not forget to reinstall.
  2. Keeping the shock absorber compressedmake 1 full turn (360°) to the right (clockwise). The total range is about 5 half turns (fig. 2).
