to the crown. Check the knob rotates through all 3

Note: Be sure to hold the knob still while installing the nut.
The damper adjuster may be damaged if the knob
is over torqued.
Clean fork and use a shock pump to set to desired
pressure. Lightly pull the casting away from the CSA

MODE ADJUST” knob may be needed to align the hex to
fully insert the knob.
