c) Lowering the chassis
The rebound clearance can be reduced mechanically to
lower the chassis.
To do this, adjust a small set screw in each of the lower
four suspension arms.
Tightening the set screw reduces the distance by which
thesuspensionarmcanextendandthereforelowersthe
chassis.
When lowering the chassis, the shock absorbers should
be set harder accordingly so that the chassis does not
touch the ground.
d) Adjusting the shock absorbers

At the upper end of the shock absorber, the spring tension can be adjusted by turning the knurled wheel (A).

As is the case with full-size vehicles, the shock absorbers (and the rubber seals in the shock absorbers) are wearable
parts. If oil leaks from the shock absorbers (e.g. the suspension arm is coated in oil, or there is dripping oil), the
gaskets or shock absorbers must be replaced.
