The damper may have already been adjusted.Some shock absorbers include a bump rubber concealed under the dust cover and it must be removed prior to adjusting.Fully collapse the shock absorber, at the same time turning the dust cap or piston rod slowly to the left (counterclockwise), until it is felt that the cams of the adjustment nut engage in the recesses of the foot valve assembly.Remove the shock absorber from the vehicle and hold it vertically with the lower eye or pin attached in a vise.As soon as the button has made its complete return, the piston rod may be turned freely. As long as the button is depressed, do not turn the piston rod further otherwise correct adjustment will be disturbed. Be sure the adjusting button fully springs back into position.To increase rebound, turn the piston rod one or more clicks to the right (clockwise), and release the adjusting button.

Therefore, check whether the shock absorber is in the adjustment position by turning the piston rod to the left (counterclockwise) with the other hand until the zero-stop is felt - DO NOT USE FORCE!

Rebound adjustable, the adjustment is made with the shock fully extended. Depress the button while turning clockwise to give increased damping forces.
