NOTE:
Although the total number of clicks of
a damping force adjusting mecha-
nism may not exactly match the
above specifications due to small dif-
ferences in production, the actual
number of clicks always represents
the entire adjusting range. To obtain
a precise adjustment, it would be
advisable to check the number of
clicks of each damping force adjust-
ing mechanism and to modify the
specifications as necessary.
