Adjusngpedalforce
Ontheundersideofthepedalisasmall
plascscrewwhichmaybegently turned
toadjustpedalforceintherangeofap‐
proximately3.5to4.5lbs.Pedalsarenor‐
mallyfactoryconfiguredforlowforce.

Moldedmarksonthecartridgeindicate"+"
forhigherforce
and"‐"forlowerforce.
Usingacoin(pennyordime)orsloed
screwdriver,turn
thescrewgently to
changetheforce.

Importantnote:
Minimal force (full "‐
" adjustment) reach‐
es a hard stop. If
force is used once
the stop is felt, the
plasc screw head
may crack and pre‐
vent further force adjustments. The full
range to achieve maximum force is approxi‐
mately 10 full turns. When maximum force
(full “+” adjustment) is reached, you will
hear a "click" with each rotaon. Do not
turn further aer hearing the first click.
