3. Loosen the locknut 1 and make adjust-
ment by turning the spring adjuster 2 to
achieve the standard figure from the sub-
traction of the length b from the length a.

75 ~ 85 mm (3.0 ~ 3.3 in)
5PA70180
NOTE:

If the machine is new and after it is broken in,
the same set length of the spring may
change because of the initial fatigue, etc. of
the spring. Therefore, be sure to make re-
evaluation.

If the standard figure cannot be achieved by
adjusting the spring adjuster and changing
the spring set length, replace the spring with
an optional one and make re-adjustment.
