Basic setting should take place at a temperature corresponding to the prevailing operating conditions.
The length of the pull rope changes if there is a large change in the ambient temperature. Under these conditions,
long rope lengths mean a frequent change in the basic setting.
This can be remedied by re-adjustment (Item 5) or shortening the rope length (Table 3).
