Compression Damping
Compression damping may be adjusted in two
stages with separate adjusters.
The high speed compression damping adjuster (1)
is effective when damping adjustment is desired
for high speed operation. The low speed
compression damping adjuster (2) should be used
when damping adjustment is desired at relatively
low speeds.
• When adjusting the compression damping
adjusters, make sure to use the proper size tool
to avoid damage.
• Both the high and low speed compression
damping can be increased by turning the
appropriate adjuster clockwise.
• Adjust the high speed compression damping
adjuster in 1/4 turn increments.
• Be sure the high speed compression adjuster is
firmly located in a detent, and not between
positions.
High Speed Damping:
The high speed damping can be adjusted by
turning the hexagonal portion of the compression
damping adjuster.
The high speed compression damping adjuster has
3 1/2 turns or more.
To adjust to the standard position:
1. Turn the adjuster clockwise (harder) until it
will no longer turn (lightly seats).
2. Turn the adjuster counterclockwise (softer) 3
1/4 turns. Further turn it by ± 1/4, align the
punch mark (3) on the adjuster and the punch
mark (4) on the adjuster body.
Low Speed Damping:
The low speed damping can be adjusted by turning
the center screw of the compression damping
adjuster.
The low speed compression damping adjuster has
13 clicks or more.
Turning the adjuster one full turn clockwise
advances the adjuster 4 clicks.
To adjust to the standard position:
1. Turn the adjuster clockwise (harder) until it
will no longer turn (lightly seat). Turn the
adjuster counterclockwise (softer) until it
clicks. This click is position 1.
2. Set the adjuster 11 clicks and adjust it until the
punch mark (5) on the adjuster and the punch
mark (4) on the adjuster body are aligned.
