Note:

You can pull up the adjuster link and

Move the Z-fitting to a higher or lower hole on

the adjuster link as needed to obtain the 1/16

gap between the control bar and the handle;

moving it lower increases the gap.

Hook the spring to the adjuster link and slide the

spring cover over the adjuster link.

Check the adjustment; refer to

that is further from the pivot point in the control

bar
