counterclockwise to tighten, clockwise to soften.
Do NOT tighten all the way to the stop, or they will blow. Go all the way tight, and back off a little (if you need them that tight to begin with)

I dont mean to be a retard but just to confirm... so you turn it RIGHT to soften and LEFT to titen correct?

Look at the adjusting ****, it has an arrow on it. If you have lost your ****, send me an IM with a mailing address on it.

BTW, turning the shock to max won't make it blow but there is a chance that you could stick the adjuster mechanism if it gets turned too tight to threadlock. Adjusting to max or min then backing off 1/16th of a turn or so will eliminate this possibility and not effect valving.
