TO ADJUST ( After R 3060 )

SECTION To adjust the shock absorbers correctly they should be removed from the
610 chassis, Q and proceed as follows:—

– Hold one arm in a vice and test the tension with a spring scale attached
to the outer end of the other arm. The tension should be tested with a
steady even pull.

Then re-adjust by means of the centre adjusting nut until the shock
absorbers are set at the correct tension.

The front shock absorbers should be set to a tension of 45 lbs. and it has
been found that a setting of 20 lbs. on the rear gives the best results, but
the rear shock absorbers should be set to the individual requirements of the
customer.
