Control functions The spring preload can be adjusted by turning the adjusting rings (PZ50MT / PZ50VT) or adjusting nuts (PZ50GT). Adjust the spring preload as follows. PZ50MT / PZ50VT To increase the spring preload and thereby harden the suspension, turn the adjusting ring in direction (a). To decrease the spring preload and thereby soften the suspension, turn the adjusting ring in direction (b). 3 1 2 (a) (b) 1. Locknut 2. Distance A 3. Spring preload adjusting nut TIP (a) (b) 1. Spring preload adjusting ring The spring preload setting is determined by measuring distance A, shown in the illustration. The longer distance A is, the higher the spring preload; the shorter distance A is, the lower the spring preload. Spring preload setting*: Minimum (soft): 168.6 mm (6.64 in) Standard: 168.6 mm (6.64 in) Maximum (hard): 178.6 mm (7.03 in) * Distance A changes 1.5 mm (0.06 in) with each full turn of the adjusting nut. 3. Tighten the locknut to the specified torque. NOTICE: Always tighten the locknut against the adjusting nut, and then tighten the locknut to the specified torque.
