red lever underneath the balance plate as far as
possible

keep on turning the knob of the spindle to the left
until the balance plate is in the very rearmost positi-
on. You will see 4 tiny holes in the base plate above
the 4 counterbalance fixing points (only from serial
no. 60300 upwards)

you may now screw in (increasing of counterbalan-
ce strength) or screw out (decreasing of counterba-
lance strength) the hexagonal screws. For this you
should use an allen key #2.

Caution: The screws always remain inside the head

A counterbalance spring is disengaged if the screw's
head is flush with the surface of the housing, i.e. it
should not stick out. The spring is engaged if you can't
see the silver head of the screw anymore because the
screw is screwed in.
