Dampcontrollo

1. Prepare a 10mm wrench.
2. Position the locking nut near the bottom or side of the throttle lever pivot.
3. Use a wrench to gently turn the locking nut:
   • Turn clockwise (forward) to increase resistance (to make the handle harder).
   • Turn counterclockwise (backward) to reduce resistance (to make it easier to move).
4. We recommend turning in small increments (about half a turn) and testing the throttle feel until it suits you.
5. After adjustment, ensure that the locking nut is tightened to prevent loosening during use.
