Spring platform Adjustment
The factory setting is both springs set at the most
forward position. The more rearward the spring
position, the stiffer the platform gets. Adjustment
will be to preference of feel. The two adjustment
springs should at all times, be positioned next to
each other not one forward or back more than the
other. To adjust, loosen each spring retaining bolt
from the top just enough to slide it, then tighten
with impact wrench. The nut may spin using hand
wrench. NOTE, do not loosen too much, if the nut
falls off, the foot platform will have to be removed
to reinstall. There is an extra hole for a third spring
for operators heavy enough to bottom out the duel
spring stock set up.
