soften the damping.1. Compression damping force adjusting screw

TIPAlthough the total number of clicks of a damp-
ing force adjusting mechanism may not exact-
ly match the above specifications due to small
differences in production, the actual number
of clicks always represents the entire adjust-
ing range. To obtain a precise adjustment, it
would be advisable to check the number of
clicks of each damping force adjusting mech-
anism and to modify the specifications as nec-
essary.
WARNING
●
Suspension components become hot
during operation. Never touch the
compression damping force adjusting
screw, the rebound damping force ad-
justing screw or the oil reservoir with
your bare hand or skin until suspen-
sion components have cooled.
●
Always adjust the shock absorber as-
semblies on the left and right side to
the same setting. Uneven adjustment
can cause poor handling and loss of
stability, which could lead to an acci-
dent.

4. Once the majority of the dirt has beenhosed off, wash all surfaces with warm
water and mild, detergent-type soap. An
old toothbrush or bottle brush is handy for
hard-to-get-at places.
5. Rinse the vehicle off immediately with
clean water and dry all surfaces with a
clean chamois towel or soft, absorbent
cloth.
6. Clean the seats with a vinyl upholstery cleaner to keep the covers pliable and
glossy.
7. Automotive-type wax may be applied to all painted and chrome-plated surfaces.
Avoid combination cleaner-waxes. Many
contain abrasives which may scratch the
paint or protective finish. When finished,
start the engine and let it idle for several
minutes.
