At the top, the bottom and the preload...

The manual explains where each one is.

The little gold adjusters that you would use a flat head screw driver with... Those are the damping adjustments. The preload is adjusted with a large wrench/crescent wrench on the front. Adjust the preload with the tool provided in the tool bag on the rear.

It's a piece of cake. The pictures in the manual make it all clear.
