TIP
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Although t
he
total number
of
tu
rns
of a damping
force adjusting mechanism may not exactly
match t
he
above specifications due to sma
ll
dif-
ferences
in
production, the actual number
of
turns always represents the entire adjusting
range.
To
obtain a precise adjustmen
t,
it would
be advisable
to
check the number
of
tu
rns
of
each damping force adjusting mechanism and
to modi
fy
the specifications as necessary.
