Specification:
Value of the tension meter = 32 ± 3 g
19. When the value of the tension meter satisfies
with the specification, tighten the fixing screw
and reassure that the value of the tension
meter still satisfies with the specification.
If the value should be out of the specification,
then repeat adjustment resuming the step 17.
