correct?

be able to tell which way to turn the wheel to tighten the spring.  I don't
have mine in front of me but I think you turn the wheel clockwise to tighten
the spring -- be careful about doing exactly what I say since I have been
known to say something completely backward from what I did.  Be sure to
count the notches as you turn the wheel so you can put it back if the
adjustment doesn't work.
