1,303 | How to Adjust Bike Brakes | 1. Adjusting Your Brake Pads
1-1. Check your brake pads before you make any adjustments.
The brake pads are the pads that clamp down on the front tire of your bike when you pull the brake lever. If the brake pads are worn down past the line labeled “wear line,” you’ll need to replace them before you make adjustments to your brakes.
If the wear lines on your brake pads aren't labeled, they should be marked by grooves on the side of the pads instead.
You can order new brake pads online or pick some up at your local bike shop.
Make sure your wheel lines up correctly in the dropouts as well, or else it won't make good contact with your brakes.
1-2. Squeeze the brake lever to see where the pads hit the rim.
Both brake pads should be coming into contact with the rim of the front tire at the same time. They should be hitting the center of the rim, with an equal amount of space above and below the pad. If the pads are hitting the rim too high or low, they could come into contact with the rubber part of the tire or the spokes on the bike.
Crouch down to get a good look at the brake pads as you're squeezing the brake lever.
If your bike has a quick-release mechanism, check that it isn't loose or hasn't come undone. Otherwise, your brakes won't squeeze tightly on the wheel.
1-3. Use an Allen wrench to loosen the bolts holding the brake pads in place.
Turn the Allen wrench counterclockwise to loosen the bolts. Don’t loosen the bolts all the way or the brake pads will come out of the brake pad holder.
1-4. Move the brake pads up or down in the brake pad holder.
They should easily move up and down once the bolts are loosened. If the pads were too low on the rim, move them up until they’re centered. If the pads were too high on the rim, move them down until they’re centered.
1-5. Re-tighten the brake pad bolts with the Allen wrench.
Keep turning the Allen wrench clockwise until the bolts are fully tightened. Check to make sure the brake pads are centered. Readjust if needed.
2. Tightening Your Brake Cables
2-1. Test the tightness of your cables by pulling each brake lever.
When you pull the brake levers, they should be about 1 ½ inches (3.8 cm) away from the grip on the handlebars. If the levers hit the handlebars when you pull them, the brake cables are too loose.
2-2. Loosen the barrel adjusters for minor brake cable adjustments.
If your brake cables are just slightly loose, loosening the barrel adjusters might fix the problem. The barrel adjusters are located where the brake cables meet the brake levers.
Loosen the barrel adjuster attached to the loose brake cable by turning it counterclockwise. Loosening the barrel adjuster will actually slightly tighten the brake cable.
After you loosen the barrel adjuster, pull the brake lever to see if it fixed the problem. If the brake cable is still too loose, you’ll need to adjust it on the caliper. Leave the barrel adjuster as it is. Don’t tighten it yet.
2-3. Unscrew the bolt holding the brake cable on the caliper.
The caliper is the main frame of the brakes that the brake pads are attached to. The brake cable is the thin cable extending off the caliper. Locate the bolt that’s holding the brake cable. Use an Allen wrench to turn it counterclockwise a few times until the bolt is slightly loose.
Don’t unscrew the bolt all the way. Just rotate the Allen wrench counterclockwise 2-3 times until the bolt is loose.
2-4. Pull the brake cable outward to tighten it.
Now that the bolt is loosened, you shouldn’t have any problem pulling the cable. Hold it in place with your fingers once you’ve pulled it taut. As you pull the cable, the brake pads should tighten on the rim of the front tire. You want them to be tight enough that there’s some resistance when you turn the tire, but not so tight that the tire isn’t able to turn at all.
If you can't turn the tire at all, pull less hard on the brake cable so it's not as tight.
2-5. Tighten the bolt holding the brake cable on the caliper.
Use the Allen wrench and turn it clockwise 2-3 times until it won’t turn anymore. The cable should be secure in place once the bolt is tightened.
2-6. Tighten the barrel adjusters on the handlebars.
Turn the barrel adjusters you loosened before clockwise several times until they’re fully tightened. Tightening the barrel adjusters will loosen the brake pads that are clamped onto the front tire. Once the barrel adjusters are tightened, your brake cables should be all set!
Test the brake cables again by pulling the brake levers. When you pull the levers now, there should be 1 ½ inches (3.8 cm) between the lever and the grip on the handlebars.
Tips
If you have mechanical disc brakes, position the bike rotor on the stationary disc rather than the one that moves.[12]

1,304 | How to Adjust Bike Gears | 1. Adjusting your Gears
1-1. Raise the bike off the ground on a bike stand.
You need to be able to spin the wheels freely without the bike moving. The best way to do this is with a bike stand. If you don't have one, check if your local bike shop or outdoor store has a "maintenance night," where you pay a small fee to access to all of their tools for the night.
You can also turn the bike upside down, resting it on the seat and handlebars. If you do, however, know that you will have to reverse the direction you spin things in the following instructions.
You can also hang the nose of your saddle in the notch of a tree or low hanging joist.
1-2. Locate your derailleurs.
Derailleurs are the machines that physically shift your gears and keep your chain in place. There is one on the back wheel attached to the cassette (the collection of gears) and another smaller derailleur near the pedals. Check that there is nothing in the derailleurs or gears like leaves, sticks, or mud, and clean them with a damp cloth.
The rear derailleur is the more complex machine, consisting of the derailleur, an arm, and 1-2 smaller gears that the chain is threaded through. A cable pulls this arm back and forth, allowing the chain to switch gears.
The front derailleur is clamped onto your bike's frame, and consists of a spring and two "derailleur plates," or small metal walls that force the chain to stay on only one gear at a time.
1-3. Diagnose your shifting problems by testing each gear.
Using one hand to lightly pedal the bike, shift through 1 gear per click, starting with every gear on the back derailleur. Go up every gear once and down every gear once. Note places where the gears have trouble shifting, where the chain slips off the gear, or where you need to shift twice to make the bike shift.
While testing one derailleur, put the other one in the middle gear. For example, if I am testing the back derailleur and I have 3 gears in the front, leave the front derailleur in the middle ring the entire time. This prevents the chain from stretching.
1-4. Find the cable adjusters.
Follow the cables leading to the derailleurs to find the adjusters, which look like little nuts or barrels surrounding the cables. There may be two for each cable -- one at the derailleur end and another by the handlebars. These make small adjustments to the derailleur cables, allowing you to make subtle changes to your shifting.
1-5. Shift to your "problem gear."
While pedaling the bike with one hand, shift your gears up until you get to a problem, such as if the chain won't shift, has trouble staying on the gear, or skips a gear. Stop shifting when you find an issue, but keep your bike in that gear.
1-6. Loosen your cable adjuster if the chain won't shift down.
If you have trouble shifting as you lower your gears (lower gears are closer to the wheel), then loosen the cable adjuster by turning it counterclockwise. Turn the adjuster slowly, turning until the chain falls into the correct gear.
Always work slowly, adjusting by a quarter-turn at a time at most.
Think of it as of turning the adjuster the way you want the chain to move. Rotate towards the bike to make the chain move towards the bike.
Don’t loosen the adjuster too far or it may detach from the derailleur. If you need to make a large adjustment, thread the adjust into derailleur, shift into the smallest gear, loosen the pinch bolt, and pull the cable by hand.
1-7. Tighten your cable adjuster if your chain won't shift "up."
If your bike struggles to work it's way up the gears (away from your bike), you should tighten the cable adjuster by turning it clockwise. When it is correct, the chain will naturally switch to the correct gear on its own.
Think of this as turning the adjuster the way you want the chain to move. Rotate away from the bike to make the chain move away from the bike.
1-8. Return to your low gear and shift back all the way up and down.
Once you've successfully adjusted the problems, cycle through every gear again to make sure that the derailleur can successfully shift through every gear.
You want the chain to flow smoothly from gear to gear every time you shift.
1-9. Take short practice ride to spot any other problems.
Sometimes the bike will behave differently under your weight. In a parking lot or driveway, ride the bike around and cycle through any gears. Note any problems and adjust your cables accordingly.
2. Fixing a Slipping or Limited Chain
2-1. Raise the bike off the ground on a bike stand.
You need to be able to spin the wheels freely without the bike moving. The best way to do this is with a bike stand. If you don't have one, check if your local bike shop or outdoor store has a "maintenance night," where you pay a small fee to access to all of their tools for the night.
You can also turn the bike upside down, resting it on the seat and handlebars. If you do, however, know that you will have to reverse all of the following instructions.
2-2. Shift to your lowest gear.
On the rear derailleur, this is the small gear furthest from the bike. On the front derailleur, it is the small gear closest to the bike.
Shift the derailleur you are working on to a gear somewhere in the middle.
2-3. Unscrew the bolt holding the cable in place.
This is found at the end of the cable leading from your handlebars to your derailleur. A small bolt clamps the cable in place, holding it tight. Using an Allen key, unscrew the bolt to free the end of the cable.
You'll notice that, if you pedal the bike, the chain will slide down to the lowest ring without your help. That is because derailleurs work by tightening the cable to hold the chain in place. Similarly, you can shift your bike manually by pulling the cable.
2-4. Locate your derailleur's "limit screws."
In order to prevent your chain from slipping off, the derailleur is contained to the small area between the gears. There are two small screws which hold the derailleur in place, located right next to each other on the top (front derailleur) or back (rear derailleur) of the derailleur.
The screw on the left, often labeled with an "H," which limits how high the chain can go and affects the outer gears.
The screw on right, often labeled with an "L," limits how low the chain can go and affects the inner gears.
2-5. Tighten the screws to keep the chain from falling off.
If your chain is falling off near the outer gears of the front derailleur, then tighten the H screw to limit it. When the chain falls off closer to your wheel, then tighten the L screw.
Consult with your bike’s manual if the H and L screws aren’t clearly labeled.
2-6. Using your hand, push the rear derailleur to the inside of the bike as far as you can.
If the derailleur pushes too far the chain will fall off the gears and towards the wheel. Alternatively, it may not push far enough, and the chain will not get to all the gears. You can then adjust the limit screws to move the derailleur -- and you will actually see it moving.
if you the chain goes too far. This will keep the derailleur from moving too much to the left.
if you cannot shift into every gear. This will allow the derailleur to move farther in.
2-7. Adjust the front derailleur so that the derailleur plates sit on either side of the chain.
With the chain on the smallest gear, tighten or loosen the low limit screw so that the chain doesn't touch the derailleur plate.
Shoot for 2-3 millimeters of space on each side of the chain.
2-8. Bolt the cable back to the derailleur.
Shift back down to the smallest gears and pull the cable tight by hand -- it does not need to be perfect, just taut -- then screw the cable back in place underneath the bolt on the derailleur you removed it from.
Often, you can see an indent in the cable indicating where it was bolted before.
2-9. Use the cable adjusters to adjust your gears properly.
Make sure your bike can shift comfortably to and from every gear in the front and back, and use your cable adjusters to make changes where necessary. Only shift 1 gear per click.
Tips
Make any changes slowly -- it is easier to readjust if you mess up.
Take notes or pictures of the bike before you begin working if you have any questions about how to put it back together.
Clean and lube your chain regularly to prevent shifting issues and keep your bike riding smoothly.
Warnings
Never "cross-chain" your bike or use gears that force the chain to stretch diagonally from the front to the back. This stresses the chain and can lead to cracking.

1,305 | How to Adjust Bra Straps | 1. Adjusting Bra Straps for Length
1-1. Locate the slide adjuster on your straps.
It is a little metal or plastic clip that you can slide up and down the length of your strap. Some slide adjusters can run the full length of the strap, while others can only run about halfway.
On a new bra, you will probably find the strap adjustor all the way at the back of the bra strap, near the bra band (the part that hooks across your back).
Some bras, like most sports bras, are made from a single piece of fabric, and therefore do not have adjustable straps. If your straps are too loose or too tight on a bra like this, then there is an issue with the overall fit and you need a new bra.
It is usually easier to adjust the strap if you are not wearing the bra. The adjustor will normally lie against your back, which makes it hard to reach unless you remove your bra.
1-2. Tighten a loose bra strap by holding the slide adjuster with the fingers of one hand and pulling front of the strap toward the cup with your other hand.
As the strap slides through the adjuster, the adjuster will move closer to the bra band. The closer the adjuster is to the band, the shorter and tighter the strap becomes.
If you are trying on a new bra and you have to adjust the straps to the tightest position, it's not the bra for you. Your straps will stretch over time, so you need to have some room to tighten them later. Try a bra with a smaller band size.
1-3. Loosen a tight bra strap by holding the slide adjuster in one hand and pulling the back part of the strap away from the adjuster.
The slide adjuster should move closer to the bra cup. The closer the adjuster is to the cup, the shorter and tighter the bra strap will become.
1-4. Adjust the other strap.
Remember that you probably won't want it the exact same length as the first strap, though. Your breasts are not identical in size or shape, so one strap may be a little tighter or looser than the other. This is completely normal and nothing to be self-conscious about.
1-5. Try on your bra and adjust as necessary.
If your straps are fitted properly, they will lie flat and smooth against your chest and they will hold the cups against your breasts.
Always re-adjust your bra after you wash it, as the process may cause the slide adjusters to move.
If the straps are as tight or as loose as they can be and you are still having issues (the strap is falling off your shoulder, the straps are cutting into your skin), read the following sections to learn possible causes and how you can solve them.
2. Identifying Why Straps Are Too Loose
2-1. Look at the slope of your shoulders.
Some women are born with narrow or sloping shoulders and some develop them later in life. This can make it difficult to keep your bra strap from falling off your shoulder, even if your bra is the correct size. If this is the case, you may need to try a different style bra.
Look for bras with straps that are closer to the middle of the back, such a leotard backs, racerback, or straps that criss-cross over your back.
Avoid bras with "camisole backs," which come straight down and attach to the bra band at a right angle.
Try a halter bra, which loops around your neck and attaches just at the front of your bra.
Make sure the front of your bra straps attach to the cup right above the apex of your breast, or your nipple.
A bra with convertible straps will allow you to try different styles (racerback, criss-cross, halter) so you can adjust for a comfortable fit or for different outfits.
You can buy a clip that attaches to the straps of your bra, pulling them together into a racerback style and keeps them in place on your shoulders.
2-2. Test the elasticity of your straps.
Over time, your bra straps will lose elasticity and become looser and looser, causing you to tighten them. If they lose too much of their elasticity, you may not be able to make them tight enough to stay on your shoulders.
Slide your finger under your strap and pull up. If it easily stretches to your ear, it's too loose and needs to be replaced.
If you take good care of your bra (don't wear the same one every single day, hand wash and air-dry them, and put them on properly), they should last about 6-9 months, if not longer.
2-3. Make sure your bra isn't too big.
The band should be snug against your back and parallel to the ground. Your breasts should fill the cups without pinching (giving you the appearance of having four boobs), and the cups should lay flat against your breasts.
If your bra doesn't fit the above criteria, try a smaller band or cup size. You can measure yourself at home or be professionally fitted for a bra that fits properly.
2-4. Get your bra straps shortened.
Petite women may find their straps are always too long, no matter how much they tighten them. A tailor or lingerie shop may do this for you, or you can do it at home by removing an inch or two from the strap and re-sewing it.
3. Identifying Why Straps Are Too Tight
3-1. Check that the bra band is the right size.
Your bra straps should be doing minimal work to hold up your breasts--a properly fit bra band should provide almost total support. If the band is too loose, you may be tightening your straps to pick up the slack, causing them to gouge into your shoulders.
Your bra band should be snug, but no so tight that you can't slide a finger between the fabric and your skin at the front of your bra.
The band should be parallel to the floor and sit no higher than the bottom of your shoulder blades.
If you measure your bust and find your bra band is the right size but still too loose, then it's simply too old and needs to be replaced.
3-2. Make sure your cup size is correct.
If your cup size is too large, you may be tightening your straps too much to keep the cups from looking pointy or to pull the them flat against your chest.
If your cup size is too small, the straps may not be long enough to accommodate your breasts and be pulled tight, gouging your shoulders.
A bra in the correct size will have cups that lie smooth and flat against your chest, without pinching or causing your breasts to overflow from the sides or top.
If the center panel of the bra (the part between the cups) doesn't lie flat against your breastbone, your cups may be too small, forcing you to tighten your straps to a painful degree.
3-3. Wear a bra with wider straps.
Many full-support bras come with wider straps, which distribute weight better than thin straps and provide more comfort.
Even with a properly fitted bra, thin straps can sometimes still be painful for women with larger breasts. Try to avoid them when possible.
3-4. Buy a cushion to wear under your straps.
If your bra fits properly but the straps are still causing you discomfort, invest in cushioning designed specifically for bra straps. They fit under or around your straps and should mold against your skin so they are not obvious under your clothes.
Some bra straps, especially wider straps, come with build-in cushioning for added comfort.
Tips
If you're not sure about how to find the right bra for your body, visit a professional at a lingerie shop or department store. They will measure your bust and help you find different options for the best fitting bra.

1,306 | How to Adjust Bread Recipes for High Altitude | 1. Bread Recipes with Yeast
1-1. Decrease the amount of white flour in the recipe.
You may need to use up to 1/4 less flour than the recipe calls for because flour loses moisture at high altitude which creates a dry-tasting finished product. You'll know there is enough moisture your high altitude bread dough when the mass pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
Gradually add flour 1 tbsp. at a time if the batter is too wet or sticky. Your bread dough should be soft and easily handled after re-kneading.
1-2. Increase the amount of liquid in the recipe if using wheat or rye flour.
Add 1 tbsp. or more than the recipe calls for. These coarse flours lose even more moisture than white flour does at altitude.
1-3. Add additional liquid, 1 tbsp.
at a time, if the dough seems to dry. Your dough should be soft, moist and pull away from the sides of the bowl after re-kneading.
1-4. Add an additional rising cycle.
Good tasting bread depends on a long, slow rising process but bread dough rises twice as fast in high altitude locations. Bread dough that rises rapidly will have a strong yeast-flavor and a dry texture. For the best flavor, allow enough time for 2 separate rising cycles and never let the dough to grow more than twice its size.
Reduce the amount of rising time the recipe calls for by about 15 minutes or until the bread has reached nearly twice its size.
Punch down your dough after the first rising cycle is over. Set into a bowl and allow it to rise again but for half the time of the first cycle.
1-5. Add 1 degree of baking temperature for every 500 feet (152 m) above sea level.
At altitude, heat molecules don't have enough energy inside them which results in a lower boiling point but also makes food take longer to cook. Baking at a higher temperature will set the bread structure quickly and stop dough from rising more.
1-6. Use less yeast if all other altitude baking adjustments fail to provide firm bread dough that doesn't collapse after rising and baking.
Reduce the yeast by 1/8 tsp. to see if you get a firmer bread dough. If you are unhappy with your finished bread, decrease yeast by another 1/8 tsp. each time you attempt the recipe until you are happy with the finished product.
2. Quick Bread Recipes
2-1. Use more liquid by adding 1 tbsp.
of liquid per every 1 cup (236 ml) of flour called for in the recipe.
2-2. Decrease the amount of sugar by as much as 1/4 of the total amount used in the recipe, since sugar causes flour to become dry.
2-3. Decrease the baking soda or baking powder if you notice a bitter flavor the first time you attempt a high altitude quick bread recipe.
Reduce leavening agents by about 1/8 tsp. each time you make the recipe until you end up with an ideal flavor.
Tips
Keep a baking journal or make notes next to your bread recipes to help you remember your altitude baking adjustments .
Warnings
Never attempt a high altitude bread recipe for the first time when baking for other people. High altitude bread baking usually requires multiple attempts of nearly every recipe before it results in a good-tasting product.

1,307 | How to Adjust Brightness in GIMP | 1. Adjust Brightness Using "Brightness" Setting
1-1. Select the layer you want to adjust.
After opening your image in GIMP, click on the layer that needs adjustment in the Layers dock. If you are adjusting the brightness of an image that hasn't been split into layers, the single layer "Background" will be selected by default.
1-2. Open the "Brightness-Contrast" dialog box.
There are 2 ways to open this menu. The first is to click on "Tools" in the main tool bar, and then select "Color Tools" and "Brightness-Contrast." The second way is to click on "Colors" in the tool bar and then select "Brightness-Contrast."
1-3. Adjust the brightness of the layer.
Use the slider labeled "Brightness" to adjust the layer's brightness. Moving the slider to the left makes the layer darker, while moving it to the right makes the layer lighter. Note that this transformation will occur uniformly, which means that it will increase or decrease the brightness of each pixel by the same magnitude.
For example, if you increase the brightness of a layer that is too dark overall, the finished image will likely have a washed-out appearance. This is because the brightness slider turns the layer's darkest tones (like black) into medium tones, and so the overall contrast has been reduced.
To adjust brightness in a non-uniform manner, you should use the "Curves" menu instead. This will allow you to adjust brightness while preserving the layer's tonal variety.
1-4. Save your changes.
Click "OK" to apply the changes you've made. Remember to save the image before closing GIMP.
2. Adjust Brightness Using "Curves" Menu
2-1. Open the "Curves" menu.
To do this, click on "Colors" in the main tool bar, and then click on "Curves." This menu can also be accessed through the "Tools" option.
2-2. Familiarize yourself with the curves interface.
In the "Curves" menu, you will see a 2-axis graph with a line stretching between the lower-left and upper-right corners. The horizontal axis represents the current tonal spectrum of your layer, while the vertical axis represents the adjusted tonal spectrum. By clicking and dragging the line to adjust its shape, you are telling GIMP to adjust each tone on the x-axis to its new position on the y-axis.
2-3. Add a control point to the curves graph.
To begin editing your graph, you need to add a control point. To do this, click once at any point along the linear graph. You will see a small circular node appear. This is a control point, which you can use to adjust the shape of the graph. Additional control points can be added later to achieve more intricate shapes.
2-4. Adjust the shape of the graph.
To make your layer brighter, for instance, click on the control point you created and drag it upwards. This will turn the linear graph into an upward curve. The mid-tones of the image are now brighter, but the darkest and lightest tones have remained unchanged, so the image will not have a washed-out appearance. To make the image darker, drag the control point downwards.
2-5. Save your changes.
Click the "OK" button to apply the changes you've made. Make sure to save your image before exiting GIMP.
Tips
Individual color channels (red, blue, and green) can also be editing using the curves feature. Use the "Channel" box above the curves graph to select a channel.

1,309 | How to Adjust Brightness on Windows 10 Using the Keyboard | 1. Steps
1-1. Find the appropriate keys on your keyboard.
Windows 10 PCs allow you to adjust your brightness using hotkeys on your keyboard. These hotkeys are represented by two different images of a sun, one for increasing and another for decreasing brightness. Find the keys on your keyboard to get started.
These hotkeys will look slightly different on every computer. They are often differentiated by a filled-in sun (decrease) and an empty sun (increase) or a sun with dots for rays (decrease) and a sun with lines for rays (increase).
Also be on the lookout for arrows pointing upwards or downwards, indicating an increase or decrease in brightness.
These hotkeys will be mapped onto different buttons on different keyboards. Check out your left and right arrow keys, or the function keys (F1, F2, etc.) lining the top of your keyboard.
1-2. Hold down the "Fn" key on your keyboard.
The brightness hotkeys are not the primary function of the keys they are mapped onto. You'll therefore needed to hold down the Fn key while you adjust your screen's brightness.
1-3. Tap the appropriate hotkeys.
While holding Fn, tap the corresponding hotkeys to turn your PC's brightness up or down.

1,312 | How to Adjust Your Headlights in 12 Easy Steps | 1. Setting Up
1-1. Make adjustments to get your vehicle to its average weight and height.
Start by removing any excess weight you normally don’t carry from the trunk of the car. Also, check your tire pressure to ensure it’s at the manufacturer's recommended levels. If possible, have somebody sit in the driver's seat while you do this and aim for a day when your gas tank is half full.
1-2. Park your car on level ground, facing a perfectly vertical wall.
You can do this in an indoor garage or at your home if you’ve got a large garage and it’s dark out. Use a spirit level to confirm the wall is more or less flat. Park as close as you can to the wall while still leaving room.
1-3. Level the shocks by pushing the corners of the car down.
This jolts the suspension and forces the car to level out. Just go to each corner of the vehicle and firmly push down on the body to make your vehicle pop up and down a few inches.
Sometimes, when you drive and park your vehicle, the momentum compresses the shocks on one side of your car. You want the lights to be as ideally placed as possible!
Alternatively, you can measure the distance to the ground from both headlights to ensure that the suspension itself is level.
2. Making Your Alignment Grid
2-1. Turn the headlights on and mark the centers on the wall.
Do not use your high beams or fog lights. Locate the brightest point of light on the wall for each bulb. Use masking or painter’s tape to put two + signs on the wall. Use a spirit level to ensure the horizontal and vertical lines are perfectly straight.
You can also measure the distance from the floor to each bulb and then mark those measurements on the wall if you want to be extremely scientific.
2-2. Use a spirit level to see if the + signs are on the same horizontal plane.
Place a spirit level between the two marked center lines to see if they are even. If they are not even, use a tape measure to measure how far up the wall the lower mark is and lower the other center line marker to the same height. These center lines should be no higher than 3.5 feet (1.1 m) from the ground.
If your two lights aren’t even, measure the distance from the ground to your bulb. Then, transfer that measurement to the wall to figure out which + sign is too high or too low. Redo that + sign.
2-3. Back your car exactly 25 ft (7.6 m) from the wall.
Don't estimate the distance! Use a tape measure to make sure you are the proper distance away from the wall. This is the distance your headlights should normally extend to.
Always defer to the specs in the owner's manual—some manufacturers recommend different distances for proper adjustment, although 25 feet (7.6 m) is the most common distance.
3. Adjusting the Lights
3-1. Turn the headlights on and assess where the light sits on the wall.
Those two + signs you put on the wall aren’t just for show. The brightest point should be the center of each +, and only the area below the middle horizontal lines should be illuminated.
If the brightest points aren’t the center of each +, you need to adjust your lights horizontally.
If the area above the horizontal line on each + is illuminated, you need to lower the lights. If the light is super low, they need to be raised.
If your lights are too high, they can blind other drivers. If they’re too low, you won’t be able to see pedestrians and other cars in time to prevent accidents.
3-2. Locate the adjusting screws on the housing for each light.
The exact location of each screw will differ from make and model to make and model, although every model works basically the same way—one screw is for up/down adjustments and the other screw is for left/right. You use a screwdriver to manually adjust the angle of the bulb.
You usually have to pop the hood to access the bolts on the inside of the engine bay. In some vehicles, you just pop a flange off the rim of the light to expose the screws on the outside.
Some cars may feature adjustment bolts rather than screws.
On Hondas specifically, there is a bubble level on each headlight casing to help you confirm your lights are correct.
You shouldn’t have to remove the light, but you may need to remove a coolant tank, cover, or panel to access the headlight casing. Refer to your manual for more info.
3-3. Block one headlight so you can focus on adjusting the other.
Put a sheet of cardboard or a chair with a coat on the back in front of one light while you adjust the other. This way, the light from the other light won’t bleed into the headlight you’re adjusting.
If you have a have a helper to sit in the driver's seat while you do the adjustments, now is the time to ask them to hop in the vehicle.
3-4. Turn the upper screw or bolt to adjust the vertical field.
Clockwise usually raises the lights, while counterclockwise turns should lower them. Use a screwdriver and some good old-fashioned trial and error to change the height of the light. Move the bulb until the area directly below the horizontal line on your + sign is illuminated.
The top of the most intense part of the beam should be even with, or just below the center of the line of tape you made. This way, you can see ahead while you drive without blinding other drivers.
3-5. Adjust the other set of screws or bolts to make horizontal adjustments.
Use the same screwdriver to make adjustments to the second screw, if necessary. Move the headlights horizontally until the most intense portion of the headlight beam is hitting the vertical bar on the + sign on the wall.
3-6. Test your alignment by driving the vehicle on a safe, quiet road.
Since you aren’t sure the lights are perfect just yet, drive slow on a street that won’t have any pedestrians or traffic (an alley is ideal). Make any additional adjustments by repeating the process again until your lights are correct.
If your lights “feel” off, they probably are. You should be able to see slightly beyond 25 feet (7.6 m), which is 3-4 car lengths.
Do this at night! You aren’t going to be able to see whether your lights are correct or not during the day.
Warnings
Take your car to a mechanic to have the headlights adjusted if you are unable to do so, especially if you know your headlights need to be adjusted.

1,313 | How to Adjust Car Mirrors | 1. Adjusting Your Wing Mirrors
1-1. Make sure you are sitting in the driver's seat.
Mirrors reflect light. This means that what you see will be different depending on what perspective you are looking from. Once you're sitting in the driver's seat, you'll be almost set to start adjusting your mirrors.
1-2. Move your seat so you are at a comfortable height and depth.
This will also have an impact on what you see when you look into your mirrors. Position your seat so you feel like your feet are gently resting on the pedals and that you can comfortably see over the front of the car.
Check that you can comfortably reach the gear stick and steering wheel.
Use a cushion to increase your height if you are particularly short and cannot see over the front of the car.
1-3. Use buttons to move electronically adjusted mirrors.
As technologies have progressed, the physical method by which you change the angle of your mirrors has changed dramatically. In modern cars, many systems have been switched to electronic movement.
The buttons for this will normally be located just to the right of the steering wheel and will have four arrows on them indicating the direction of movement for the mirror.
There will also usually be a left/right control switch to choose which mirror to move.
If you can't seem to find the controls, head online and check as some can be hidden away in unusual places.
1-4. Use your hand to adjust manual mirrors.
Most older cars will still have their mirrors adjusted by hand. The way this works is usually quite simple, you will simply push the mirror into whatever position you like.
1-5. Adjust the left-right plane of the mirrors.
If done correctly, you will only just be able to see the edge of the back of your car. If you can see a lot of your car, the mirror is too far in and if you can see none of your car, the mirror is too far out. Both of these situations will increase your blindspot.
You will have a blindspot regardless of how well adjusted your mirrors are, but the aim is to minimize this blindspot.
1-6. Adjust the up-down plane of your mirrors.
If done correctly, the horizon will be in the middle of the mirror and the road will look flat, rather than angled, going backward. Most people forget that you can also move the wing mirrors up and down. This has a fairly large impact on what you see when you look into your mirrors.
This is one setting that will vary greatly with the driver's height so when driving a car for the first time, always check this.
2. Moving Your Rear-View Mirror
2-1. Sit in your normal comfortable driving posture.
When setting your mirror position, having the right posture is very important as it will greatly affect what you see in the mirror. However, this doesn't mean sitting in an unusual position because if you do this, when you drive, what you see will be very different to when you set the mirror.
Take some personal ownership here in terms of knowing how you sit when driving. For example, if you know you sit tall when driving, sit tall when setting your mirrors.
2-2. Move the rear-view mirror so you can see the entire rear window.
This will mean that you have the maximum range of vision which will be equal on both sides.
You will be able to see fairly far back in the lanes behind you if the mirror is on the correct angle.
You use this mirror most often whilst driving so the aim is for you to be able to just quickly glance at it, get the image, and look back at the road.
2-3. Turn on the night-view setting to avoid glare.
When using this mirror at night, the cars behind you will have their lights on meaning there will most likely be some glare. Most cars have a night-view setting for this mirror which you can turn on. You can usually find the button attached to the mirror underneath or on the side of it.
This setting simply reduces the glare that you will have to deal with.
Having the setting on during the day won't make a huge difference if you forget about it but because it dulls light coming in, try to remember to turn it off.
2-4. Flip the mirror upside down if you are over 6 feet (1.8 m) feet tall.
This repositions the mirror so that the bottom edge is 1 inch (2.5 cm) - 2 inches (5.1 cm) higher than it is normally. This means the blind-spot for a particularly tall driver is substantially smaller.
Tips
When looking at your interior mirror, you/the mirror needs to be in a position where you only need to move your eyes, rather than your whole head, to see the image.[15]

Always remember that you have blind-spots regardless of how well adjusted your mirrors are. As such, always physically turn your head and check when making decisions on the road.

1,314 | How to Adjust Cell Size in Excel | 1. Using a Computer
1-1. Open your spreadsheet in Excel or create a new file.
You can either open the saved spreadsheet within Excel by clicking , or you can right-click the file in your file explorer or Finder.
This will work for Windows and Mac computers as well as the web version.
1-2. Move your cursor to the column or row heading that you want to adjust.
You won't be able to adjust a single cell inside a row or column, but you can change the size of the entire row's cells.
1-3. Drag the boundary below the row heading (rows) or the boundary to the right (columns).
As you drag the line down (rows) or right (columns), the cell size will increase. As you drag the line up (rows) or to the left (columns), the cell size will decrease.
To select multiple rows or columns, press and hold Ctrl (PC) or ⌘ Cmd (macOS) as you click rows or columns.
If you want the column or row to adjust automatically according to its contents, double-click the right boundary (for columns) or the bottom boundary (for rows).
If you can't drag the boundary, you need to check that drag-and-drop is enabled. To do that, go to . If you're using Excel 2007, click the (in the top left corner of the program) and then click . Go to the "Advanced" category and select then click .
2. Using the Mobile App

1,315 | How to Adjust Chacos with Toe Straps | 1. Loosening the Straps
1-1. Loosen the straps before you put your feet in.
In most cases, you will need to loosen the straps significantly so that you can fit your foot inside. You can later tighten the straps around your foot.
It is very important that you loosen the straps in the correct order. Loosening 1 strap will help open up the next strap.
1-2. Tug on the outside of the buckle strap towards the inside of the foot.
You do not need to touch the buckle itself. Use a finger to pull the strap towards the inside of the foot. For your left foot, you will pull it right. For the right foot, you will pull it left.
Your sandals are pretty sturdy. Don’t be afraid to use moderate force when loosening the straps.
Loosen the strap as far as it will go. This will make it easier for you to put your foot in later.
1-3. Yank on the outside of the top strap.
This strap runs from the outside of the foot towards the big toe. It overlaps both the toe loop and the middle strap. Grasp the end of the strap near the outside of the foot. Tug this strap upwards towards the big toe to loosen it.
1-4. Tug downwards on the toe loop to widen it.
This is the small loop around the big toe. Pull the strap down towards the ball of your foot to loosen it. Widen it as much as you can.
1-5. Pull up on the bottom strap as far as it will go.
This strap runs from your pinky toe towards the heel strap. It sits under the top strap. Tug the end of the strap near the pinky toe upwards to loosen it. Your straps are now loose, and your shoe is ready to be worn!
2. Tightening the Straps
2-1. Slide your foot into the shoe.
Now that you have loosened the shoe, you should be able to fit your foot inside. Smooth the straps out so that they lie flat against your skin. Slip the back strap around your heel.
If your foot still won’t fit, you need to loosen the straps even more.
2-2. Pull the outside of the strap next to your big toe’s knuckle.
This is at the bottom of the toe loop. Tug it out towards the outer foot. This will tighten the bottom strap.
To remember how to tighten your Chacos, memorize "knuckle, toe, buckle." This step refers to tightening the "knuckle."
2-3. Yank the top strap where it overlaps the toe loop.
Look where the top strap crosses the toe, just above where you tightened the toe loop. Pull this section out towards the outside of the foot. This will tighten the toe loop.
This is the "toe" step of "knuckle, toe, buckle."
2-4. Pull up on the strap of the buckle near the inside of your foot.
For your right foot, this will be to the left of the buckle. For the left foot, this will be to the right of the buckle. Grasp just above where the strap goes below the sole. Pull this part up to tighten the top strap.
This is the buckle step of "knuckle, toe, buckle."
2-5. Tug the end of the strap by the buckle until the shoe fits snugly.
You should see where the strap comes out on one side of the buckle. For your right foot, this will be to the right of the buckle. For the left foot, it will be to the left of the buckle. Pull this strap to tighten the shoe. You are now ready to explore in your Chacos!
The shoe should be snug, but it should not cut into your skin or constrict your blood flow.
3. Maintaining the Fit of Your Straps
3-1. Adjust only the buckle strap when putting the Chacos on.
Once you have adjusted the Chacos to your foot, you will usually only need to loosen and tighten the buckle strap when you put them on and take them off. The other straps should already fit your foot.
You may need to adjust the entire foot again after washing or flossing the Chacos.
3-2. Break in the shoes at least 2 weeks before you need to use them.
If you are going on a trip with your Chacos, make sure that you adjust the straps before the trip. Wear the Chacos every day to break them in. This will help the straps conform to your feet.
3-3. Loosen the straps if they start to hurt.
The straps should never cause pain or cut off circulation. If you start feeling discomfort during a hike or activity, tug the straps loose until you feel more comfortable. Remember that you need to tug the top strap loose before you loosen the toe loop.
3-4. Loosen stiff straps with fabric softener.
This process is called flossing the straps. Occasionally, the straps can become stiff and tight, making it hard to loosen them. Mix 1 part water to 1 part fabric softener. Apply this mixture to the straps. Wait up to 2 minutes. Loosen the straps as much as possible. Rinse the shoe off with clean water and let it air dry.
After the shoe dries, slip it back onto your foot and tighten the straps to readjust them to your feet.
3-5. Clean and floss the shoe every 3 months to preserve the straps.
Wash Chacos in a laundry machine on a gentle cycle with cold water. After washing, soak the straps in 1 part water and 1 part fabric softener for 2 minutes. Rinse off the fabric softener with water. Let the shoes air dry before readjusting them to your feet.
You can wash Chacos with another load of laundry.
Always clean and floss the straps after taking your Chacos into a sandy environment.
Cleaning the straps will ensure that they do not become worn, loose, or inflexible.
Slide sandals have an 80s vibe.
You can wear some cute printed shorts and a simple top with them.
Culotte jeans, and culotte pants that are either wide-legged or that flat out go well with slide sandals.

1,316 | How to Adjust Chainsaw Tension | 1. Preparing and Caring for the Chain
1-1. Ensure the ignition switch is off and remove the spark plug wire to ensure the blade cannot start.
This is the small cap, often on the button you use to prime the chainsaw. Disconnect it so that the motor cannot get the electricity required to start.
1-2. Wear thick safety gloves at all times when touching the blade.
This is not only for your safety but also for the health of the blade. Granted, touching it once or twice won't kill it, but it is better for both you and the chainsaw if you keep gloves on at all times.
1-3. Tighten your chainsaw blade when the chain no longer sits flush on the guide bar.
The bar is the long "knife" of the chainsaw -- the part you use to guide the blade and actually cut. The chain should wrap snugly around the whole bar, not be hanging off the bottom side. If it is hanging, you'll need to adjust the tension.
Wearing gloves and goggles, hold onto the top of the saw. With the other hand, lift the chain off the bar (near the mid-point of the bar) slightly and let go. If it doesn't snap back into place cleanly, you'll need to adjust the tension.
For precise work, you want about a 1.25mm space between the blade and the bottom of the bar when the motor is cool. A hot motor and chain will slightly expand the chain, loosening it slightly.
1-4. Remove or loosen the covering where the blade meets the motor.
For older models, this cover likely comes right off. For newer ones, there may be two screws or nuts holding it down. At the very least, loosen these two screws or nuts a full turn so that the blade and chain have room to shift as you adjust the tension.
Some smaller saws may have a knob or lever to release the cover, instead of screws or nuts, making it easier to adjust without tools.
1-5. Clean out the engine and drive-train with compressed air and a rag.
If the cover comes all the way off, use this chance to wipe down the entire assembly, assuring the blade runs cleanly without unnecessary friction. Otherwise, get a can of compressed air and shoot it into the loosened covering to remove dirt and dust.
A toothbrush is a good way to help remove tricky, hard-to-reach bits.
1-6. Add a touch of grease to the rolling tip at the end of the blade.
This sprocket is vital to keep the blade moving efficiently. Add a touch of grease so that it can spin freely, and then wipe up any excess with a dirty rag.
Not all guide bars include a roller tip and not all roller tips require additional grease. Follow the operating instructions for your particular saw.

If you simply need to tighten your old chain, click here.
2. Adding and Adjusting a New Chain
2-1. Using a flat file or other straight-edge, check if the bar has uneven "high spots" along the edges that you can file down.
There is no top or bottom to most chainsaw bars, but one side will often start to wear out and chip. If this is the case, put the bar in a vice and careful file down any jagged, high edges so that the side is even again.
If the edges of the guide bar have become flared from heavy use, they may interfere with the smooth cutting of the chain, making it difficult to cut straight, if at all. If the edges or the grooves become worn, it may be time for a replacement guide bar.
While the chain is off the saw, check the saw's drive sprocket for excessive wear. It is not unusual to need a new drive sprocket after wearing out multiple chains.
2-2. Figure out which way the chain needs to face so the blades pull forward.
The chain pulls forward, meaning the chain on top of the bar moves away from your body. The saw blades (or "cutters") will point obviously in one direction, with the teeth all pointing the same way. The teeth on the top of the bar should point forward.
2-3. Lock the chain into the grooves on the bar.
Put the blade on the bar so that the saw teeth on top of the blade push away from you. Make sure that they fit snugly.
2-4. Remove the cover over the blade area and attach the bar.
Pull the chain around and lock it into the sprocket that powers the chainsaw (a large, round, spin-able part with grooves to lock into the chain). Then attach the bar snugly to the motor of the chainsaw according to your specific manufacturer's instructions.
With some types of sprockets, you may need to insert the bar without the chain on it, then loop the chain around the drive sprocket, finishing up by aligning the chain loosely into the groove on the guide bar.
2-5. Reattach the covering so that the bar is snugly and firmly in place.
You want the bar on and chainsaw re-assembled before making your tension adjustments.
Do not completely tighten the attachment nuts yet because they serve to clamp the bar into position, and it needs to be adjusted first.
2-6. Hold the nose of the bar up slightly as you work.
Throughout the next few steps, use your free hand to slightly lift the nose of the bar up, bringing it snugly against the attachment mechanism. The rest of the chainsaw should rest on a clean, flat surface.
2-7. Find your adjusting screw or knob and tighten it until the blade is snug on the bar.
This screw is often found perpendicular to the direction of the chain. It will move a small pin that catches the bar, making it slightly shorter or longer to add or subtract tension. Check your owner's manual if unable to locate the screw, though it should be easy.
Sometimes the adjustment screw is located between the mounting studs. It could also be on the outside of the chainsaw, on the bar cover or on the engine.
2-8. With hands still gloved, and the safety brake off (if applicable to your saw) manually pull the chain loop around the bar to check for tight spots.
If the blade doesn't move smoothly all the way around, lightly loosen the adjustment screw so that it can slide with ease. You want the blade on snugly, covering the whole bar, but not so snug that it can't move and cut easily.
A "perfect" middle ground to shoot for is 1.25mm of space between the chain and the bar, on the bottom half.
2-9. Hold up the tip of the bar again and tighten the nuts or screws or knob that hold the cover on the saw, clamping the guide bar firmly into place, with the chain at the proper tension.
Do a final check that the chain still moves freely around the guide bar.
2-10. Re-install the spark-plug wire, so you're ready to start the saw next time.
Tips
Whenever you adjust the tension screws, or when tightening the bar clamp, be sure to hold the nose of the bar up.
Cleaning and taking good care of your chain and bar will keep you safe and prevent the need for more serious repairs.
Occasionally flip the bar when re-installing it, so that the top and bottom will wear at approximately equal rates. The bottom of the bar takes a heavier beating in normal use.
Warnings
Periodically check for signs of improper tension between cuts, in case the bar clamp has loosened or the chain has expanded.
An improperly tensioned chain can be highly dangerous. Make sure you take extreme care and perform a tension check every time you use the saw.
Use only the replacement chains recommended for your saw. They must properly fit not only the guide bar but also the drive sprocket.

1,320 | How to Adjust Cost Basis After a Merger | 1. Steps
1-1. Determine the original cost basis of your investment, including any commissions paid.
In the example above, you paid $5098 for 200 shares of Company A at $25.49 per share. Suppose you paid $10 commission for this transaction. Your original cost basis is therefore $5108. Dividing by 200 shares of Company A, your cost basis is $25.54 per share.
1-2. Find out how many fractional shares of newly issued Company B stock were sold to give you the cash-in-lieu payment, which results from sales of fractional shares you were otherwise entitled to receive, but were sold because only whole shares are issued in a corporate action.
Obtain this information from your broker, by looking at the transaction activities in the account in which you held your Company A stock, or from the merger terms. In our example, suppose 0.7049 share of Company B was sold at a price of $45/share, giving you $31.72 cash in lieu of a fractional share.
1-3. Add the fractional share from the previous step to the number of whole shares, to determine the total number of shares you received.
In our example, we add the 0.7049 fractional share to the 98 whole shares of Company B to obtain 98.7049 shares of Company B.
1-4. Convert the total number of shares you received of the acquiring company stock to the equivalent shares of the original acquired company stock you held, using the conversion ratio according to the merger terms.
In our example, one share of Company A stock was entitled to 1.049 shares of Company B stock, so 98.7049 divided by 1.049 is equal to 94.094 shares of Company A stock.
1-5. Multiply the result from the previous step by your original cost basis per share, to get the cost basis for the stock portion of the merger.
Subtract the result in the previous step from the total number of shares of the original acquired company stock you own, then multiply by your original cost basis per share, to get the cost basis for the cash portion of the merger.
In our example, multiplying 94.094 by $25.54 yields $2403.16, which is the adjusted cost basis for the stock portion. Subtracting 94.094 from 200 shares of Company A you originally bought, obtaining 105.906, then multiplying by $25.54 yields $2704.84, which is the adjusted cost basis for the cash portion.
1-6. Allocate the adjusted cost basis for the stock portion into the whole share part and the fractional share part, in proportion to the number of shares in each part.
For our example, our total cost basis for 98.7049 shares of Company B stock was determined in the previous step to be $2403.16.
So the cost basis for 98 shares of Company B is $2403.16*(98/98.7049) = $2386, whereas the cost basis for 0.7049 share of Company B is $2403.16*(0.7049/98.7049) = $17.16, which is the cost basis for the $31.72 cash-in-lieu of fractional shares received.
1-7. Determine taxable gains and losses by adding up the cost basis for all cash proceeds, and subtracting the result from the total cash proceeds.
In our example, we add $2704.84 (adjusted cost basis for the cash portion) + $17.16 (cost basis for the fractional shares sold) = $2722. The total cash proceeds is $5297.18 (cash consideration received) + $31.72 (cash-in-lieu of fractional shares received) = $5328.90. Our capital gain is $5328.90 - $2722 = $2606.90. The purchase date is Jan 1, 2010 and sale date is June 1, 2013, which qualifies us for long-term capital gains treatment for assets held more than one year.
Please note: if in your case you acquired your original investment in Company A shares at different times over a period that included both long-term (more than one year) and short-term (one year or less) relative to the time the merger is completed, calculate the share-weighted percentages of your original cost basis in long-term and short-term portions, and apply these percentages to separate the proceeds received into long- and short-term portions to report on tax returns. For example, if 150 shares of Company A were acquired more than one year before the merger payout, and 50 shares were acquired less than one year before the merger payout, for a total of $5108, then 75% of your cost basis is long-term and 25% is short-term. The same percentages apply to your proceeds and capital gains. Thus, of the $2606.90 capital gain calculated above, 75%, or $1955.18, would be a long-term gain, while 25%, or $651.72, would be a short-term gain.
1-8. Save for future reference the adjusted cost basis of the shares received.
You'll need that information should you ever sell those shares. For our example, the cost basis for the 98 shares of Company B is $2386, or $24.35 per share of Company B. Note that the purchase date for this is Jan 1, 2010 when you bought Company A stock prior to the merger giving you Company B stock, Jan 1, 2013 when the merger was declared or June 1, 2013 when the merger was completed. Again, retain this information for the future when your Company B shares are sold.
Tips
If possible, elect the all-stock option in merger considerations in order to minimize income taxes, especially if your investment is held less than a year. Short-term capital gains tax can be quite high.[3]

"回答明细": "{\"回答\": \"1. Steps\\n1-1. Determine the original cost basis of your investment, including any commissions paid.\\nIn the example above, you paid $5098 for 200 shares of Company A at $25.49 per share. Suppose you paid $10 commission for this transaction. Your original cost basis is therefore $5108. Dividing by 200 shares of Company A, your cost basis is $25.54 per share.\\n1-2. Find out how many fractional shares of newly issued Company B stock were sold to give you the cash-in-lieu payment, which results from sales of fractional shares you were otherwise entitled to receive, but were sold because only whole shares are issued in a corporate action.\\nObtain this information from your broker, by looking at the transaction activities in the account in which you held your Company A stock, or from the merger terms. In our example, suppose 0.7049 share of Company B was sold at a price of $45/share, giving you $31.72 cash in lieu of a fractional share.\\n1-3. Add the fractional share from the previous step to the number of whole shares, to determine the total number of shares you received.\\nIn our example, we add the 0.7049 fractional share to the 98 whole shares of Company B to obtain 98.7049 shares of Company B.\\n1-4. Convert the total number of shares you received of the acquiring company stock to the equivalent shares of the original acquired company stock you held, using the conversion ratio according to the merger terms.\\nIn our example, one share of Company A stock was entitled to 1.049 shares of Company B stock, so 98.7049 divided by 1.049 is equal to 94.094 shares of Company A stock.\\n1-5. Multiply the result from the previous step by your original cost basis per share, to get the cost basis for the stock portion of the merger.\\nSubtract the result in the previous step from the total number of shares of the original acquired company stock you own, then multiply by your original cost basis per share, to get the cost basis for the cash portion of the merger.\\nIn our example, multiplying 94.094 by $25.54 yields $2403.16, which is the adjusted cost basis for the stock portion. Subtracting 94.094 from 200 shares of Company A you originally bought, obtaining 105.906, then multiplying by $25.54 yields $2704.84, which is the adjusted cost basis for the cash portion.\\n1-6. Allocate the adjusted cost basis for the stock portion into the whole share part and the fractional share part, in proportion to the number of shares in each part.\\nFor our example, our total cost basis for 98.7049 shares of Company B stock was determined in the previous step to be $2403.16.\\nSo the cost basis for 98 shares of Company B is $2403.16*(98/98.7049) = $2386, whereas the cost basis for 0.7049 share of Company B is $2403.16*(0.7049/98.7049) = $17.16, which is the cost basis for the $31.72 cash-in-lieu of fractional shares received.\\n1-7. Determine taxable gains and losses by adding up the cost basis for all cash proceeds, and subtracting the result from the total cash proceeds.\\nIn our example, we add $2704.84 (adjusted cost basis for the cash portion) + $17.16 (cost basis for the fractional shares sold) = $2722. The total cash proceeds is $5297.18 (cash consideration received) + $31.72 (cash-in-lieu of fractional shares received) = $5328.90. Our capital gain is $5328.90 - $2722 = $2606.90. The purchase date is Jan 1, 2010 and sale date is June 1, 2013, which qualifies us for long-term capital gains treatment for assets held more than one year. \\nPlease note: if in your case you acquired your original investment in Company A shares at different times over a period that included both long-term (more than one year) and short-term (one year or less) relative to the time the merger is completed, calculate the share-weighted percentages of your original cost basis in long-term and short-term portions, and apply these percentages to separate the proceeds received into long- and short-term portions to report on tax returns. For example, if 150 shares of Company A were acquired more than one year before the merger payout, and 50 shares were acquired less than one year before the merger payout, for a total of $5108, then 75% of your cost basis is long-term and 25% is short-term.

1,321 | How to Adjust Disc Brakes on a Bike | 1. Assessing Your Brakes
1-1. Flip your bike upside down or set it in a bike stand.
When you adjust your bicycle’s disc brakes, the wheel should be elevated off of the ground so it can spin freely. If you have a bike stand, put your bike in the stand so it’s held in place and elevated off the ground. If you do not have a bike stand, just flip your bike upside down so that the seat and handlebars are on the ground and the wheels are sticking up.
Portable bike stands are sold at most sporting goods stores. They typically cost between $35–50 USD.
1-2. Figure out which style of disc brakes you have.
Look closely at the caliper at the center of each of your bicycle’s wheels. If the bike’s calipers have a small cable running to them, they are mechanical. If the calipers don’t have any attached cables, they’re hydraulic. If you’re still not sure which style you have, snap a photo of your bike’s brakes and take it to a local cycling shop.
The caliper looks like a small box about 3 inches (7.6 cm) long that sandwiches the rotor. The caliper is the mechanical device that puts pressure on the rotor and slows down your bicycle.
1-3. Tighten your wheel in the drop house before adjusting the brakes.
A bike’s drop house is the y-shaped frame that the wheel sits between. The drop house attaches to both sides of the wheel and keeps it connected to the bike. Make sure that the wheel is firmly in place by turning the lever on the side of the wheel clockwise. Once you’ve tightened the wheel, fold the lever in until it’s flush with the wheel.
On some older styles of bike, you may need to tighten the wheel in the drop house manually with an Allen wrench.
1-4. Avoid touching the edge of the rotor so you don’t cut yourself.
The rotor (the circular metal disc that disc brakes apply force to) can be very sharp. As you’re adjusting your disc brakes, try not to touch the edge of the disc. Hold the disc by placing your thumb and fingers on the disc’s 2 flat sides.
If you do get a cut, stop and wash it with soap. Bandage the small wound before you finish adjusting the brakes.
2. Adjusting Hydraulic Brakes
2-1. Loosen the 2 bolts on the side of your caliper if the brakes rub.
If you can hear your disc brakes rubbing as you drive your bike around, it’s a sign that the brakes are too tight. Inspect the caliper and find both of the ⁄8 inch (0.32 cm) hex bolts that hold the caliper to the frame. Insert an Allen wrench of the corresponding size and twist it a half turn counterclockwise. This should loosen the brakes enough that they stop rubbing.
It’s possible that the disc brakes are too tight on only 1 wheel. In this case, you will not need to tighten the brake on your other wheel.
2-2. Squeeze the brake lever 2–3 times to center the caliper on the rotor.
After you’ve loosened the 2 hex bolts, squeeze the brake lever that corresponds with the wheel you’re adjusting. If you bumped the caliper while you were loosening it, this will re-center it on the rotor disc. On the last squeeze, keep pressure on the brake lever.
The right-hand brake lever controls the rear brake and the left-hand brake lever controls the front brake.
2-3. Tighten the bolts by a half turn before releasing the lever.
With the corresponding brake lever held down, again insert the Allen wrench into 1 of the 2 hex bolts. This time, turn the wrench a half turn clockwise to tighten the caliper around the rotor. Tighten the second hex bolts as well.
If you need to work on both the front and rear brakes at the same time, have a friend hold the brake levers while you work on the calipers.
2-4. Spin the wheel to make sure that the rubbing has stopped.
Make sure that the wheel is unimpeded and can turn freely. Give the wheel a firm spin (in either direction). Listen for the sound of rubbing.
If the disc brakes no longer rub, you’ve adjusted them successfully!
2-5. Align the caliper visually over the rotor if the brakes still rub.
If the brakes continue to rub, loosen the bolts by a quarter turn. Look down from the top of the caliper and visually align it so that it sits directly over the rotor. With the brake lever held down, fine tune the position of the caliper so that it’s fully centered. Then, tighten the hex bolts a quarter turn.
Again test the brakes by spinning the wheel and listening for the sound of rubbing brakes.
3. Tweaking Mechanical Brakes
3-1. Loosen the small set screw found on the side of the caliper.
Some models of mechanical disc brakes have a small “set” screw that clamps down on the caliper’s adjustment dial to prevent it from loosening while you’re riding the bike around. Use a small Philips head screwdriver to turn the set screw 1–2 full rotations counterclockwise.
Not all bikes with mechanical disc brakes have a set screw on the caliper. If yours doesn’t, you can skip this step.
3-2. Twist the adjustment dial on the side of the caliper to adjust the brakes.
Most bikes with mechanical disc brakes have a 1 inch (2.5 cm) wide plastic dial on the side of the caliper (right next to the wheel’s spokes). Turn the wheel clockwise to move the brake pad closer to the rotor and counterclockwise to move it farther away from the rotor.
In some cases, bikes with mechanical disc brakes may not have an adjustment dial on the side of the caliper. In this case, there will be a hex bolt on the caliper that fills the same function.
3-3. Adjust the dial until the caliper is centered directly over the metal rotor.
It typically takes some fiddling to line the caliper so it’s centered over the rotor. Periodically give the bike’s wheel a spin and visually inspect the brake pad so that you can tell if the pad is rubbing on the disc brake.
Most rotors aren’t perfectly flat, so don’t worry if you see a small amount of wobble as the rotor spins.
3-4. Squeeze the brake lever to make sure that the brakes tighten.
Give the lever that corresponds to the brake that you’re adjusting a firm squeeze. The 2 pads should tighten on either side of the rotor. Both of the pads should touch the rotor disc at the same time; if 1 touches before the other, the rotor isn’t properly centered beneath the caliper.
The right-hand brake lever works the rear brake, and the left-hand brake lever works the front brake.
3-5. Tighten the hex bolts and the set screw before riding your bike.
Use your Allen wrench to turn the 2 hex nuts on the side of the caliper clockwise. Even if you didn’t loosen them when you were adjusting your mechanical disc brakes, check to make sure that the hex bolts are tight. Also use your screwdriver to tighten the small set screw that you loosened earlier.
Once you’ve tightened the bolts, the bike should be ready to ride!
Tips
If you have mechanical disc brakes, you have the option of adjusting them the same way as you adjust hydraulic disc brakes (i.e., by manually loosening the 2 bolts and visually aligning the caliper over the rotor).[16]
X
Research source
If you’re not comfortable adjusting your brakes yourself, you can take your bike to a cycling shop. Be aware, though, that they’ll charge you both an hourly fee for their time and charge you for any parts they decide to replace.
Warnings
Don’t put off adjusting your bike brakes! You could be seriously injured if your brakes give out mid-ride.

1,323 | How to Adjust Door Hinges | 1. Tightening Hinges So Your Door Closes
1-1. Examine the top corner of your door to see if it’s catching on the frame.
Over time, the hinges on a door can loosen and cause the door to sag downward. When this happens, the top corner of the door catches on the door frame and prevents the door from closing properly. If the top corner of your door is catching on the frame, you’ll need to adjust the hinges.
Another way you can tell if your door is hanging downward is by looking at the gap between the top of the door and the frame. If the gap gets bigger as you move away from the door hinge, the door isn’t hanging properly.
1-2. Tighten the screws on the door hinges with a screwdriver.
Tightening the door hinges may solve the problem by pulling the door back toward the jamb (the hinged part of the frame) so it no longer catches on the frame when you try to close it. Tighten the screws on the hinges as much as possible and then try closing the door to see if the problem is fixed.
1-3. Unscrew the middle screw on the top door hinge if the problem persists.
If tightening the hinges didn’t work, you’ll need to replace the middle screw on the top door hinge.
1-4. Screw a 3 inch (7.6 cm) screw into the top door hinge.
Screwing in a longer screw will help pull the door back toward the jamb. Tighten the screw all the way until the hinge is secure against the jamb. Then, try closing the door. The door should now close without any issue.
2. Adjusting Hinges on Doors with Big Gaps
2-1. Check the gap between the unhinged side of your door and the frame.
If there’s a large gap between the door and the frame, your door may not be closing properly. Instead of installing a new door that’s wider, you can fix the problem by adjusting the hinges on the door.
If there’s a gap only at the top or bottom of the unhinged side of your door, you’ll only need to adjust the hinge that’s level with the gap.
2-2. Unscrew the bottom door hinge on your door.
Use a screwdriver to unscrew each screw on the door hinge. For trickier screws, use a drill.
2-3. Trace half of the hinge on a thin sheet of cardboard 4 times.
Lay the hinge on a flat surface so half of the hinge (1 of the hinge plates with screw holes in it) is on the piece of cardboard. Trace the outline of the hinge onto the cardboard with a pencil. Repeat on three other sections of the cardboard.
If you’re only adjusting one of the hinges on your door, you only need to trace the hinge 2 times on the cardboard.
If your door has more than 2 hinges you’re adjusting, you’ll need to trace 2 additional outlines for each hinge.
2-4. Cut out the traced outlines of the hinge plate.
Use scissors or a box cutter. Try to make the cuts as precise as possible. You’re going to be putting the pieces of cardboard behind the hinge on the door, and if they’re too big or small they won’t fit properly.
2-5. Put 2 of the cardboard cutouts in the mortises on the door and jamb.
The mortises are the indents on the door and jamb that the hinge plates rest in. The cardboard cutouts should fit perfectly in the indents.
2-6. Screw the bottom hinge back on over the cardboard cutouts.
Push the screws right through the cardboard cutouts beneath the hinge plates. Tighten the screws all the way so the hinge is secure. When you’re finished, you shouldn’t be able to see the cardboard.
2-7. Unscrew the top door hinge and add the other 2 cardboard cutouts.
Then, screw the top door hinge back in place over the cardboard like you did with the bottom hinge. Now that both door hinges are slightly raised by the pieces of cardboard, the gap between your door and the frame should be smaller.
If your door has more than 2 hinges you’re adjusting, unscrew those hinges and add the other pieces of cardboard you cut out.
2-8. Add more cardboard cutouts if the gap is still too large.
Remove the hinges again and put more pieces of cardboard behind them. You may need to use several pieces of cardboard per hinge to solve the problem.
3. Fixing Doors that Stick
3-1. Examine the gap between the unhinged side of your door and the frame.
If the gap between the door and frame is almost nonexistent, you may have trouble closing and opening your door without it getting stuck. Before you shave off part of the edge of the door to make the gap bigger, try adjusting the door hinges to see if that fixes the problem. One of your door hinges may not be sitting in the mortise (the indent on the jamb that the hinge plate sits in) properly.
If only the top or bottom of your door is pushed too close to the frame, you’ll only need to adjust the hinge that’s level with that part of the door.
3-2. Unscrew the bottom hinge on your door.
You can use a screwdriver or drill to unscrew the door hinge.
3-3. Check the edge of the mortise for compression marks.
If you see compression marks, that means the door hinge plate wasn’t sitting in the mortise properly. If the door hinge isn’t sitting all the way down in the mortise, it will cause the door to push out into the frame more than it should.
3-4. Use a utility knife to cut along the compression mark lines.
Eventually you'll remove the excess wood along the compression marks so the door hinge is able to sit down in the mortise all the way. Don’t cut any deeper than the rest of the mortise with the utility knife.
3-5. Use a chisel to remove the excess wood from the mortise.
Place the sharp end of the chisel at the top of one of the lines you cut. Then, hammer the handle of the chisel so the chisel scrapes up the excess wood. Be careful not to damage the mortise or door jamb. Continue chiseling until all of the excess wood along the compression marks is gone.
3-6. Screw the hinge back onto your door.
Now that you’ve removed the excess wood from the door jamb, the hinge should fit properly in the mortise. Make sure you screw the screws on the hinge in tightly so the hinge isn’t loose.
3-7. Repeat with the other door hinges.
Unscrew the hinges and check the mortises for compression marks. If there are compression marks, cut them with the utility knife and chisel them out of the mortise. Once you’ve adjusted all of the hinges, the gap between the unhinged edge of your door and the frame should be wider and your door shouldn't get stuck when you open and close it.
3-8. Shave your door down with a hand plane if the problem persists.
A hand plane is a handheld tool that lets you shave off small amounts of wood from a wooden surface. Use the hand plane to shave the unhinged edge of your door that meets the frame so it doesn't get stuck anymore.

1,324 | Testing and Adjusting Your Vehicle's Rear Drum Brakes | 1. Test the self-adjuster.
Drive and stop in reverse and use the parking brake.
Rear drum brakes, especially on modern vehicles, are designed to automatically adjust under normal driving conditions. That said, things like wear-and-tear, rust, and dirt accumulation can interfere with this. To see if you can get your brakes to auto adjust, try one of the following:
Put the vehicle in reverse, drive backwards, and stop abruptly several times.
Set and release the parking brake several times.
If the brakes feel more even and responsive when you press down on the pedal, the self adjuster is working and you don’t need to manually adjust the brakes.
2. Remove the rear tires.
Safely jack up the vehicle so you can take off the tires.
Technically speaking, you’re removing the rear wheels and not just the tires, but this is the same process as changing a tire (times two):
Park on a flat, level, solid surface and put the vehicle in park (automatic) or first gear (manual). Place chocks against the front of the front tires. Don’t engage the parking brake.
Grab a lug wrench (tire iron) and twist each lug nut counterclockwise until it just breaks free and begins to spin.
Set the jack at one of the designated jack points and slowly lift one tire. Use a jack stand to hold up that side of the vehicle, then remove the jack. Jack up the other tire and insert a jack stand.
Loosen the lug nuts the rest of the way and set them aside in a spot where you won’t lose them. Pull off the tire (again, actually the entire wheel), then repeat the process with the other rear tire.
3. Locate the drum’s rubber plug.
Look for this access point on the inner side of the wheel drum.
Now that the wheel drum is exposed on the axle, run your fingers along the back side of it and feel for a small oval-shaped piece of rubber. Once you find it, rotate the drum forward (if needed) so that the rubber plug is close to the ground—this makes it easier to access.
If you can’t locate the plug by feel, carefully slide your upper body under the vehicle and find it visually. As a novice, you’ll have to be in this position to adjust the drum brake anyway.
4. Identify the star wheel behind the plug.
Pull out the rubber plug to access this small metal gear.
Peel out the plug and set it aside in a spot where you won’t lose it. Use a flashlight to look into the opening and identify the small star wheel inside—it’s a small gear, that is, a small disc with lots of teeth around the perimeter.
It’s best to reinstall the existing rubber plug, but if you do happen to lose it, you can buy a replacement!
5. Slot a brake spoon into the star wheel.
Insert the spoon through the opening and to the gear’s teeth.
What’s a brake spoon, you ask? It looks like a flat-head screwdriver with the handle removed and the shaft bent in multiple spots. The angles caused by the bends make the spoon ideal for slipping into the brake plug opening—once it’s in there, slip the blade of at the end of the spoon between two of the teeth on the star wheel.
If needed, use a flashlight to help you slot the blade of the spoon in place. Before long you’ll be able to slot the blade by feel.
Yes, you can just use a flat-head screwdriver instead. But it’ll be a little trickier to get the screwdriver’s straight shaft in the right position to slot into the star wheel.
6. Rotate the star wheel downward.
Adjust the gear only 2 or 3 “clicks” to start out.
Press the blade of the spoon downward to spin the star wheel that direction—you’ll hear a click each time one of the star wheel’s teeth slips past the catch lever. It’s far easier to further tighten the drum brake than it is to loosen it, so only tighten it slightly to begin with.
Usually, but not always, turning the star wheel downward will tighten it. If, however, the star wheel doesn’t want to spin that way (because the catch lever is stopping it), try turning it upward. Whichever direction spins more easily is the way that tightens the drum brake.
7. Spin the drum forward by hand.
Rotate the drum to check the tightness of the drum shoes.
Pull out the brake spoon and spin the entire drum like you’re driving forward. You should feel steady and even, but slight, resistance from the brake shoes on the inside of the drum—the drum shouldn’t catch or get stuck.
reinsert the spoon, move the star wheel 2-3 more clicks, and check how the drum spins again.
move on to adjusting the drum brake on the other rear wheel.
move the star wheel in the other direction to loosen the brake (see the next step).
8. Loosen the brake, if needed.
Push in the catch lever with a screwdriver to loosen the brake.
Stick a flat head screwdriver into the rubber plug opening and press back on the catch lever (the thing that “clicks” against the moving gears) on the far side of the star wheel. Then, stick the spoon into the opening and slot it into the star wheel. Spin the wheel in the opposite direction as before the equivalent of 1-2 clicks (you won’t hear the clicking sound now). Test how the drum spins and make more adjustments as needed.
There’s no denying it—this is a tricky maneuver, which is why it’s best not to over-tighten the brake in the first place.
9. Adjust the other rear drum equally.
Follow the exact same process on the other rear wheel drum.
For the best braking performance, aim to tighten both rear drum brakes equally. You can do this in part by counting how many clicks you tighten each star wheel, but also carefully compare how each drum feels when you spin it forward. When they both have the same level of resistance, you’re nearly done with the job.
10. Put everything back in place.
Repeat what you did earlier, but now in reverse:
Press the rubber plug securely into place.
Lift the wheel into place and slide it onto the mounting bolts.
Tighten the lug nuts most of the way, but not completely tight.
Repeat the process with the other wheel.
Set up the jack on one side, lift the vehicle just enough to remove the jack stand, then lower that side of the vehicle with the jack.
Remove the jack stand on the other side in the same manner.
Hand-tighten the lug nuts completely with the lug wrench.
Remove the chocks from in front of the front wheels.
11. Take the vehicle for a test drive.
Pay close attention to the “feel” of the adjusted brakes.
While the front disc brakes provide most of the stopping power, having loose rear drum brakes is definitely noticeable. Now, with the drums properly adjusted, you should only have to press the brake pedal about halfway—instead of maybe all the way to the floor—to engage the brakes fully and evenly.
If the brakes feel loose, “squishy,” rough, or uneven, or if you hear unusual scraping or squealing sounds, either fine-tune the brakes again or contact a mechanic to look over the brakes for you. It may also be time to remove the brake drums and replace the brake shoes.
Tips
As an added safety measure, once you remove the tires, lay one of them on its side and slide it under the center rear of the vehicle’s frame. (Stack both tires if there’s enough room.) That way, if the vehicle somehow falls off the jack stands, the tires may prevent the vehicle from coming down on you.

1,325 | How to Adjust Euro Style Cabinet Hinges | 1. Checking the Position of the Doors
1-1. Close the cabinet doors and look at their positioning.
It will help you determine what kind of adjustments you need to make. First, check that each door lines up with its neighbors. Look for any doors that look too high, too low, have a gap between them, or overlap one another too much. Make sure the doors close all the way as well.
Note all the problems with each door’s positioning, since some of them may require a couple of adjustments. For example, one could be crooked and also need to be raised. Plan on tackling the adjustments one at a time.
1-2. Open the door wide so that you can access the hinge.
Each door has a hinge mounted to it and the inside surface of the cabinet. Swing the door all the way open to fully extend the hinge. You will then be able to reach the screws on the inner part of the hinge.
Euro-style hinges connect to a plate mounted on the cabinet door. You will see a pair of screws securing the plate to the door, but they don’t control the hinge at all. They are only there to hold the hinge in place.
1-3. Hold the door steady before you begin adjusting it.
Adjusting Euro-style hinges is easier when you have another person holding onto the door. Let someone else brace the door while you loosen the screws. They can prevent the door from falling out of alignment and allow you to reposition it once it is able to be moved.
If you’re working alone, you can still take care of the adjustments. However, keep a firm grip on the door at all times in case it comes loose.
2. Repositioning a Standard Euro-Style Cabinet Door
2-1. Use the upper and lower screws to move the door vertically.
Each hinge has a pair of screws oriented vertically. One will be above the hinge and the other will be below it. Turn these screws counterclockwise to loosen them until you are able to move the door up or down. Tighten the screws back up when you’re done with the adjustment.
Try to keep the door flush with the bottom of the cabinet and about 4 mm (0.16 in) from the top of the cabinet. That is the perfect height for most cabinet doors.
The door will be unsteady when you loosen the screws for this adjustment, so keep a firm grip on it until you’re done tightening them again.
2-2. Adjust the rear screw if you need to move the door in or out.
The screw responsible for in and out adjustments is furthest from the door. Turn it counterclockwise to move the door away from the cabinet frame. Tightening it will move the door back toward the frame.
Ideally, there should be a gap of 1 mm (0.039 in) between the door and frame on most cabinets. After retightening the screws, you can test this by shutting the door to see if it glides closed smoothly.
Adjust the hinges in this direction one at a time to prevent the door from falling out of position. If you loosen them all at once, support the door.
2-3. Turn the innermost screw to shift the door horizontally.
Rotate the hinge screw closest to the door. Turning it clockwise moves the door closer toward the far side of the cabinet frame. Turning it counterclockwise moves the door back toward the hinge. Keep making minor adjustments to center the door on the frame and reduce any gaps between adjacent doors.
For example, adjust the screw to move the door over. Leave a 1 to 2 mm (0.039 to 0.079 in) gap between this door and the next one.
If the door isn’t hanging straight, adjust the top and bottom hinges in different directions.
2-4. Close the cabinet doors after each adjustment to check your progress.
Make gradual corrections to avoid throwing the doors out of alignment. After turning the hinge screws, shut the door, take a step back, and check the door’s positioning. Open it back up if you need to make further adjustments.
Although shutting the door so often can seem tedious, it helps prevent the door from moving too much. Take it one adjustment at a time so you don’t end up needing to make big corrections later.
3. Adjusting a Door with a Soft-Close Hinge
3-1. Turn the first screw to shift the door horizontally.
With the door open, look for a single screw along the front edge of the hinge. Expect it to be facing out from the hinge toward you. Use a Phillips screwdriver to twist it. The door slides to the left when you turn the screw counterclockwise and to the right when you turn it in the opposite direction.
Although the soft-close type of Euro-style hinges have multiple screws, they are always in the same order. You will see them in a line on the cabinet side of the hinge.
3-2. Adjust the middle screw to move the door up and down.
Look for the vertical adjustment screw in the center of the hinge, usually recessed inside of it. Reach in with a screwdriver to loosen it by turning it counterclockwise. Once you have the door where you want it, tighten the screw back up.
This screw is easy to reach with an ordinary screwdriver. It isn't recessed deeply at all, so finding it isn't a problem.
3-3. Use the third screw to move the door in and out.
The third screw is close to the hinge’s back edge inside the cabinet. Turn the screw counterclockwise to move the door out toward you. Twist it clockwise to push the door back in toward the cabinet. Use it to center the door in the frame.
Watch the gap between the open door and the cabinet. You can use it as a reference to determine when the door is in the right place.
3-4. Move the hinge tab to set the door’s closing resistance.
Check the part of the hinge attached to the door. You should be able to spot a small plastic tab inside the mounting plate. You can pull the tab out or slide it back in to change how smoothly the door closes when you try shutting it. Depending on how heavy the cabinet door is, one setting may be better than another one.
Push the tab all the way in if you have small, light doors. This setting allows the door to close almost all of the way before the tab catches it and lets it close softly.
The medium setting is fine for most cabinet doors. Pull the tab halfway out for it. If you have big, heavy doors, slide the tab out as far as you can.
3-5. Open and close the door once to finish the adjustment.
Shut the door, open it all the way up, and then close it again. Cycling the door this way resets the hinge’s tab so it works according to the adjustments you made. Check the door’s positioning as well to determine if you need to make any additional adjustments.
If the door doesn’t close smoothly, then you may need to move the tab to a different setting. Use the screws if you need to reposition the door over the cabinet frame.
Tips
To make positioning a cabinet door as easy as possible, make gradual adjustments. Adjust a little bit, check the door’s fit, then adjust it more as needed.
Make sure the screws in the slotted holes are tightened firmly when you’re done so the door doesn’t fall out of place. The slotted holes are used for up-down and in-out adjustments.
Soft-close hinges are a type of Euro-style hinge. If your hinges don't have a pull tab that controls how hard the door closes on its own, then you have a standard Euro-style hinge.
Warnings
Loosening the hinge screws can cause the door to come loose, so be prepared to support it. Get someone to help if holding the door and turning a screwdriver is too much to manage alone.

1,326 | How to Adjust Exercise Bike Resistance | 1. Setting the Resistance Level
1-1. Sit on the bike and place your feet on the foot pedals.
Climb up onto the bike and face the handlebars. If you have an electric bike, its screen will be in front of you as well. Slide your feet under the pedal straps so your toes are at the end of the pedals. Make sure you are able to easily spin the pedals while also reaching the handles ahead of you.
Pull the pedal straps so they are snug but not restrictive against your feet. If your feet slide off while you're pedaling, stop and tighten the straps.
1-2. Bend forward at the waist with your legs fully extended.
Make sure your posture is correct before attempting to deal with the resistance setting. Always lean forward so you are able to keep a firm grasp on the handlebars and reach the control screen if your bike has one. Keep your back straight and your feet firmly on the pedals. If you’re on an upright bike, keep your knees directly above your feet so they don’t lock up while you’re pedaling.
Check the owner’s manual for more information about repositioning the seat. Most bikes have an adjustment lever underneath the seat, but some have controls near the handle. Use it to raise the seat or move it closer to the handles.
Keep the bike’s seat roughly level with the tops of your thighs so you are able to pedal comfortably no matter what resistance setting you choose.
The most important part is comfort. You can adjust your posture as long as you’re comfortable doing so. Some people like leaning forward more, but newer riders usually sit straight up and bend forward slightly.
1-3. Rotate the pedals to turn on the bike if it is electric.
Watch for the screen to light up when you reach a certain speed. The screen will stay on as long as you keep pedaling at a low speed. You won’t be able to access the resistance controls when it’s off. Take some time to get your legs moving before tweaking the resistance setting.
If you’re on a mechanical bike, the resistance will be active as soon as you start pedaling. If the resistance is at a low setting, pedal for a while to get into a consistent rhythm before making a change.
On some models, you will have to press a button to turn on the screen. Hit any of the buttons while pedaling to keep the display on.
Double-check your posture. Make sure you feel comfortable using the bike. High-resistance settings can put a lot of strain on your muscles, so don’t make a change until you’re ready for it.
1-4. Press the manual workout button if you’re on an electric bike.
Take a peek at the buttons underneath the screen. Newer exercise bikes often have several different settings you can use to jump into an exercise routine. The buttons will all be labeled, so the manual button won’t be tough to find. By using the manual setting, you can adjust the resistance to your liking.
Some bikes have buttons for settings like “hill workout.” If you press one of those buttons, the bike runs a pre-programmed workout routine. It doesn’t give you as much of an opportunity to change the resistance level.
If you’re on a mechanical bike, you won’t have any additional buttons to deal with. Just start pedaling to prepare for the change in resistance.
1-5. Use the controls on the keypad to adjust resistance on an electric bike.
Look for the labeled resistance controls located underneath the screen. They are often shaped like arrows and marked with a plus and minus sign. Increase the resistance by hitting the up arrow or the plus sign. Decrease the resistance by pressing the down arrow or minus sign.
The bike takes a few seconds to adjust to the new setting. If you don’t feel the new resistance level kick in right away, just keep pedaling.
When changing the resistance, adjust it gradually. That way, you can get a taste of how each resistance level feels and find the right one for your workout.
1-6. Turn the resistance control knob if you’re on a mechanical bike.
The control knob is between the handlebars on the bike’s stem. Turn it clockwise to increase the resistance. Decrease the resistance level by turning the knob counterclockwise. Wait a few seconds while continuing to pedal. The bike will switch to the new setting.
Some exercise bikes have labeled resistance controls. The knob could have a plus and minus sign or numbers. Others don’t have any sort of label at all.
Adjust the resistance a little at a time, especially if the control knob isn’t well-labeled. With a manual bike, you can easily set the resistance way too high or low by making big adjustments.
2. Using Different Resistance Settings
2-1. Start at a resistance between 1 and 4 if you’re a beginner.
Use a low setting, like 1, while you’re warming up your muscles and getting accustomed to riding an exercise bike. If you’re able to maintain your speed and posture, then bump up the resistance setting gradually. Resistance makes pedaling harder, so don’t overexert yourself by jumping up to a high level you aren't prepared for.
The resistance setting indicates how hard you have to push to move the bike forward. It is used to simulate what you would experience riding a bike outdoors, like when you’re riding up a hill.
Low resistance settings, like 1 to 5, are great for aerobic exercise. They don’t require you to use as much leg strength, so you can keep the bike’s wheels turning without tiring out quite as quickly.
The idea is to aim for a brisk cadence, but with movements under control. You shouldn't feel like you're flailing.
2-2. Set the revolutions per minute (RPM) to 60 to simulate hills.
RPMs indicate how many times the bike’s wheels turn in a minute. Some electric bikes track this. An RPM rating of 60 to 80 is similar to riding up a hill, so it’s a good way for a new rider to strengthen their leg muscles. At a low resistance setting, you may feel like you’re doing a lot of work because you’re going fast, but you won’t be strengthening and toning your legs very much.
To calculate the RPM on your own, hold your hand above your knee. Count how many times your knee touches your hand in a minute.
An RMP rating of 80 to 100 is good for replicating flat ground. Lower the resistance setting or RPM rating when you need a break. Raise it up when you need more of a challenge.
Remember to set the resistance to a comfortable level. If you’re having trouble at 60 RPMs, lower it so your legs get stronger. Experienced riders often go as high as 110 RPMs, but getting there takes practice.
2-3. Decrease the resistance if you’re having a hard time pedaling steadily.
At the right setting, you will be able to pedal at a steady rate without changing your posture. Note when you lean forward after turning up the resistance. If you start leaning to the sides, then turn the resistance down a little. Another sign is when your pedaling seems choppy and your legs no longer move forward in smooth, consistent circles.
If you’re using an exercise bike, you’re probably going to push yourself too hard. It happens a lot in classes that use bikes.
There is no shame in lowering the resistance to a more comfortable setting. If you’re using a setting you aren’t prepared for, you won’t get a good workout and your legs won’t grow stronger.
To see when the resistance is too low, look for the opposite signs. If you’re pedaling too freely and bouncing in the seat, bump the resistance up to the next level to help you regain control of your movements.
2-4. Switch between your highest and lowest resistance for high-intensity workouts.
Generally, you won’t spend the entire time on a bike riding at the same speed. You can do something called high-intensity interval training (HIIT) by varying up the resistance. Start at a high setting you can handle, like a resistance level of 6. After a set amount of time, dial the resistance down to a comfortable, lower setting like 3 to rest and recover your strength.
For example, you can use the resistance to simulate riding over some hills. Turn the resistance up so it’s like you’re pedaling up a hill, then turn it back down for when you’re coasting down the hill or going over flat ground.
Interval training is broken up into sections. For instance, you might ride at a high resistance setting for 5 minutes, go back to a lower setting for 5 minutes, then go back up to a higher setting.
2-5. Try a guided workout on an electric bike to test out different resistances.
For example, your bike might have a button labeled “hill mode.” When you press it, it creates a workout similar to what you would experience going up and down a bunch of hills outdoors. It’s a great way to get a good workout without having to reach for the resistance control every few minutes. It will have some high-resistance sections to build your leg strength and some low-resistance parts where you can take things slow.
The modes available will vary depending on the kind of bike you have. If your bike has an electric screen, there is a good chance it has a few modes, like hills, mountains, cardio, strength, or endurance training.
If your bike doesn’t have these options, the best way to create a workout routine is by adjusting the resistance on occasion. Turn it up when you want to challenge your strength, then turn it back down when you need a break.
Tips
Recumbent exercise bikes, where you recline back instead of sit upright, work similarly to stationary and spinning bikes. They usually have electronic resistance controls.[15]

Research source
Proper posture is important for getting the most out of a resistance workout. Sit up straight with your back flat, adjusting the seat’s positioning if needed. With better posture, you can pedal harder and avoid injuries.
Warnings
Using an exercise bike improperly can cause soreness and pain. To avoid this, maintain a proper posture and avoid using a higher resistance setting than you can handle.

You can adjust your posture as long as you’re comfortable doing so. Some people like leaning forward more, but newer riders usually sit straight up and bend forward slightly.\\n1-3. Rotate the pedals to turn on the bike if it is electric.\\nWatch for the screen to light up when you reach a certain speed. The screen will stay on as long as you keep pedaling at a low speed. You won’t be able to access the resistance controls when it’s off. Take some time to get your legs moving before tweaking the resistance setting.\\nIf you’re on a mechanical bike, the resistance will be active as soon as you start pedaling. If the resistance is at a low setting, pedal for a while to get into a consistent rhythm before making a change.\\nOn some models, you will have to press a button to turn on the screen. Hit any of the buttons while pedaling to keep the display on.\\nDouble-check your posture. Make sure you feel comfortable using the bike. High-resistance settings can put a lot of strain on your muscles, so don’t make a change until you’re ready for it.\\n1-4. Press the manual workout button if you’re on an electric bike.\\nTake a peek at the buttons underneath the screen. Newer exercise bikes often have several different settings you can use to jump into an exercise routine. The buttons will all be labeled, so the manual button won’t be tough to find. By using the manual setting, you can adjust the resistance to your liking.\\nSome bikes have buttons for settings like “hill workout.” If you press one of those buttons, the bike runs a pre-programmed workout routine. It doesn’t give you as much of an opportunity to change the resistance level.\\nIf you’re on a mechanical bike, you won’t have any additional buttons to deal with. Just start pedaling to prepare for the change in resistance.\\n1-5. Use the controls on the keypad to adjust resistance on an electric bike.\\nLook for the labeled resistance controls located underneath the screen. They are often shaped like arrows and marked with a plus and minus sign. Increase the resistance by hitting the up arrow or the plus sign. Decrease the resistance by pressing the down arrow or minus sign.\\nThe bike takes a few seconds to adjust to the new setting. If you don’t feel the new resistance level kick in right away, just keep pedaling.\\nWhen changing the resistance, adjust it gradually. That way, you can get a taste of how each resistance level feels and find the right one for your workout.\\n1-6. Turn the resistance control knob if you’re on a mechanical bike.\\nThe control knob is between the handlebars on the bike’s stem. Turn it clockwise to increase the resistance. Decrease the resistance level by turning the knob counterclockwise. Wait a few seconds while continuing to pedal. The bike will switch to the new setting.\\nSome exercise bikes have labeled resistance controls. The knob could have a plus and minus sign or numbers. Others don’t have any sort of label at all.\\nAdjust the resistance a little at a time, especially if the control knob isn’t well-labeled. With a manual bike, you can easily set the resistance way too high or low by making big adjustments.\\n2. Using Different Resistance Settings\\n2-1. Start at a resistance between 1 and 4 if you’re a beginner.\\nUse a low setting, like 1, while you’re warming up your muscles and getting accustomed to riding an exercise bike. If you’re able to maintain your speed and posture, then bump up the resistance setting gradually. Resistance makes pedaling harder, so don’t overexert yourself by jumping up to a high level you aren't prepared for.\\nThe resistance setting indicates how hard you have to push to move the bike forward. It is used to simulate what you would experience riding a bike outdoors, like when you’re riding up a hill.\\nLow resistance settings, like 1 to 5, are great for aerobic exercise. They don’t require you to use as much leg strength, so you can keep the bike’s wheels turning without tiring out quite as quickly.\\nThe idea is to aim for a brisk cadence, but with movements under control. You shouldn't feel like you're flailing.\\n2-2. Set the revolutions per minute (RPM) to 60 to simulate hills.\\nRPMs indicate how many times the bike’s wheels turn in a minute. Some electric bikes track this. An RPM rating of 60 to 80 is similar to riding up a hill, so it’s a good way for a new rider to strengthen their leg muscles. At a low resistance setting, you may feel like you’re doing a lot of work because you’re going fast, but you won’t be strengthening and toning your legs very much.\\nTo calculate the RPM on your own, hold your hand above your knee. Count how many times your knee touches your hand in a minute.\\nAn RMP rating of 80 to 100 is good for replicating flat ground. Lower the resistance setting or RPM rating when you need a break. Raise it up when you need more of a challenge.\\nRemember to set the resistance to a comfortable level. If you’re having trouble at 60 RPMs, lower it so your legs get stronger. Experienced riders often go as high as 110 RPMs, but getting there takes practice.\\n2-3. Decrease the resistance if you’re having a hard time pedaling steadily.\\nAt the right setting, you will be able to pedal at a steady rate without changing your posture. Note when you lean forward after turning up the resistance. If you start leaning to the sides, then turn the resistance down a little. Another sign is when your pedaling seems choppy and your legs no longer move forward in smooth, consistent circles.\\nIf you’re using an exercise bike, you’re probably going to push yourself too hard. It happens a lot in classes that use bikes.\\nThere is no shame in lowering the resistance to a more comfortable setting. If you’re using a setting you aren’t prepared for, you won’t get a good workout and your legs won’t grow stronger.\\nTo see when the resistance is too low, look for the opposite signs. If you’re pedaling too freely and bouncing in the seat, bump the resistance up to the next level to help you regain control of your movements.\\n2-4. Switch between your highest and lowest resistance for high-intensity workouts.\\nGenerally, you won’t spend the entire time on a bike riding at the same speed. You can do something called high-intensity interval training (HIIT) by varying up the resistance. Start at a high setting you can handle, like a resistance level of 6. After a set amount of time, dial the resistance down to a comfortable, lower setting like 3 to rest and recover your strength.\\nFor example, you can use the resistance to simulate riding over some hills. Turn the resistance up so it’s like you’re pedaling up a hill, then turn it back down for when you’re coasting down the hill or going over flat ground.\\nInterval training is broken up into sections. For instance, you might ride at a high resistance setting for 5 minutes, go back to a lower setting for 5 minutes, then go back up to a higher setting.\\n2-5. Try a guided workout on an electric bike to test out different resistances.\\nFor example, your bike might have a button labeled “hill mode.” When you press it, it creates a workout similar to what you would experience going up and down a bunch of hills outdoors. It’s a great way to get a good workout without having to reach for the resistance control every few minutes. It will have some high-resistance sections to build your leg strength and some low-resistance parts where you can take things slow.\\nThe modes available will vary depending on the kind of bike you have. If your bike has an electric screen, there is a good chance it has a few modes, like hills, mountains, cardio, strength, or endurance training.\\nIf your bike doesn’t have these options, the best way to create a workout routine is by adjusting the resistance on occasion. Turn it up when you want to challenge your strength, then turn it back down when you need a break.\\nTips\\nRecumbent exercise bikes, where you recline back instead of sit upright, work similarly to stationary and spinning bikes. They usually have electronic resistance controls.[15]\\nX\\nTrustworthy Source\\nPubMed Central\\nJournal archive from the U.S. National Institutes of Health\\nGo to source\\nBefore choosing a resistance, warm up by pedaling for 5 minutes at a low speed on a low resistance setting.

1,327 | How to Adjust Eye Glasses | 1. Deciding Which Adjustments to Make
1-1. Stand in front of a mirror and look straight ahead.
Position the eyeglasses so the middle of the lenses are located in the center of your eyes. This is the optical center and the ideal location for your eyeglasses. All adjustments to your eyeglasses should be made to achieve this optimal position.
If you have a bifocal lens, the line should sit at the lower eyelid. If you have a trifocal lens, the top line should sit at the bottom of the pupil.
1-2. Look for issues with the temple arms.
If your glasses look crooked or tilted heavily to one side, it is likely the result of crooked temple arms. One way to test the temple arms is to lay your eyeglasses upside down on a flat surface. Both of the temple arms should rest evenly on the flat surface. If they do not, you will need to adjust them.
If your eyeglasses appear level on your face but sit crooked when resting on a flat surface, this may mean that one of your ears is higher than the other. The temple arms should be bent to accommodate any differences in ear height.
1-3. Identify nosepiece problems.
Look for the height at which your eyeglasses rest when on your face. If the lenses rest too high up or too low down, it is likely a problem with the nosepiece and you will need to make an adjustment to this part of your glasses.
1-4. Check for squeezing or slipping.
Your glasses may sit centered on your face and at the correct height, but still feel a little bit loose or a little bit tight. You can adjust the tightness/looseness of your glasses by bowing the earpieces outwards or inwards, depending on your needs. The ideal place to make this adjustment is right at the hinge. Bowing the earpieces of the glasses outwards will relieve any unnecessary pressure to the sides of your head or temples while bowing earpieces inwards will help them fit more snugly to the side of your head.
1-5. Look for slippage.
You may find that, despite everything else looking well-fitted, your glasses are still sliding down your face. If this is the case, you can simply make adjustments to the screws that attach the arms to the lenses of the glasses.
2. Making the Adjustments
2-1. Level the temple arms.
The temple arms extend over and around the ears and hold the frame in place. After determining what adjustments need to be made, you will need to consider the style of glasses you wear, as correcting the problem differs from plastic to wire frames.
For wire frames, gently bend the arms with small pliers until they are straight. Put the glasses on and observe in the mirror to see if they are correct.
Do not use wire cutters. You must use padded pliers or the frames will likely be damaged.
For plastic frames, the plastic on the lower arm must be heated by a warm air source, such as a hair dryer, to make the plastic pliable. Slowly move the plastic upward with your hands until it is in the desired position. Be careful using the hair dryer as you could melt the plastic.
Another way to bend plastic frames is to run them under hot water for 15 to 25 seconds before trying to make adjustments. The arm should become pliable enough to adjust, but be careful. The plastic can snap even when heated.
2-2. Adjust the earpieces.
Check the curvature of the earpieces. If the eyeglasses are pinching or digging into your ears or the side of your head, bend the earpiece section of the arms outward. If the glasses are too loose and the glasses are slipping down off your nose, twist the earpieces inwards towards the head. Again, how you achieve this depends on the type of frame you have.
For wire frames, this adjustment can be made with pliers, or even your bare hands.
For plastic frames, you will need to make the plastic pliable using either heated water or air, before bending the earpiece section of the frames.
2-3. Tighten the screws on each side of the temple.
Doing this will fix glasses that are sliding down your nose and will keep the lenses secure within the frames. This fix will require a very small screwdriver. These small screwdrivers are usually found in standard eyeglass cleaning and repair kits.
Take care not to over tighten the screws, or you risk damaging the plastic or metal that they are holding in place.
2-4. Fix the nose pads for comfort.
If the eyeglasses sit too high on your face, the nose pads need to be moved further apart. If the eyeglasses sit too low, then pinch the nose pads closer together. Try to make sure you bend each of the nose pieces together or apart at equal distances to keep the symmetry of your glasses.
3. Avoiding the Destruction of Your Glasses
3-1. Make minor adjustments.
Never make huge, drastic adjustments to your glasses all at once. It can often be harder to bend eyeglasses back into a proper position after a repair than it is to make the original adjustment. Make minor adjustments, check the glasses, and continue making minor adjustments until they are corrected.
3-2. Avoid snapping.
When making repairs to plastic frames, always apply the least amount of pressure possible to make the necessary adjustments to the glasses. Exerting too much force to heated plastic can cause the frames to snap. Then your glasses will be permanently destroyed.
3-3. Take precautions.
When using pliers to make adjustments to your eyeglass frames, wrap the ends of the pliers in tape. This will help you avoid permanently scratching the frames of the glasses. There is no way to fix these scratches, so while your glasses may fit properly, they will look like a dog chewed them up.
3-4. Learn about your frames.
There are some styles of eyeglasses that are made with materials that can’t be adjusted. Frames made of titanium, memory plastic or aluminum alloy are made so that the frame is resistant to bending, manipulation or adjustment.
3-5. Know when to give up.
While simple adjustments to make your eyeglasses fit better can be carried out at home, there may come a time when it is prudent to simply buy new glasses. If you have made multiple adjustments to the frame, nose or earpieces, and the glasses still don’t feel right, it is probably time to bite the bullet and buy some new glasses. After years of use, some glasses simply can’t be saved.
On a side note, it is suggested that you get your eyes checked at least on a yearly basis to make sure the prescription in your lenses is still ideal for your vision.
Tips
If you can't figure out how to do it, you can also go to your optometrist. Note that most optometrists provide this service at little or no cost.
Eyeglass repair kits are available at optical stores, pharmacies and grocery stores. These kits contain the tools that you'll need for making simple adjustments to your glasses.
Always store your eyeglasses in a protective case to prevent scratches and prolong the life of your frames.
Warnings
Be cautious when adjusting progressive glasses. Small adjustments can make a big difference in how these lenses perform. When in doubt use an optician to help adjust them properly.
Be gentle when bending eyeglasses. Excessive force or frequent manipulation can break the frames or lenses.

1,328 | How to Adjust Faucet Water Pressure | 1. Cleaning the Aerator
1-1. Unscrew the aerator from the end of your faucet with channel lock pliers.
The aerator looks like a cylindrical piece with mesh at the end of your faucet, and it is used to filter out fine sediment from your water. Tighten channel lock pliers around the aerator and twist it counterclockwise to loosen it. Once it’s loose, you should be able to unscrew it by hand.
If you’re worried about scratching the metal on your aerator, put a rag between it and the pliers.
1-2. Rinse out any debris inside the aerator.
You may notice sediment or debris inside the mesh of your aerator. Turn the aerator upside down and run it underneath warm water to get rid of any material that’s still stuck inside. If the debris isn’t rinsing out on its own, try using a toothbrush to gently scrape it out.
Make sure your sink is plugged so you don’t lose any pieces of your aerator.
Only use a toothbrush meant for cleaning purposes.
1-3. Soak the aerator in white vinegar overnight.
Even if you rinse your aerator, there may be built-up lime and debris inside it. Fill a glass with enough vinegar to fully submerge the aerator. Leave the aerator in the vinegar overnight so the lime and debris can break apart. When you take the aerator out, rinse it with clean water.
You can also use a lime cleaner like Formula 409.
1-4. Run the faucet for 10 seconds to clear any debris.
Before you reattach your aerator, turn on the faucet to rinse out any sediment that’s leftover inside of it. This ensures that debris won’t catch in your aerator right after you’ve cleaned it.
1-5. Screw the aerator back on to test your faucet.
Turn the aerator clockwise on your faucet by hand. Keep turning the aerator by hand until you have a tight seal. Use your channel lock pliers again to make sure the aerator is on as tight as it can go. Turn on your faucet to see if the water pressure changed.
If the aerator still gives you trouble, try buying another one from your local hardware store. Make sure it fits the model faucet that you have.
2. Cleaning the Filter in a Pull-Out Faucet
2-1. Unscrew the handle of your faucet with channel lock pliers.
If your sink has a faucet with a hose that you can remove from the base, pull it out so you can access the bottom of the handle. Grip the nut at the bottom of your handle with channel lock pliers and rotate it counterclockwise to loosen it. When it’s loose, the handle should easily come apart.
2-2. Pull out the filter and rinse it.
The filter is located at the base of the handle and looks like a cylinder with metal mesh layers. Pull the filter out from the handle by hand. Run the filter underneath warm water to rinse out any of the debris or buildup inside it. Use a stiff-bristled toothbrush if sediment is stuck on the mesh.
You can also remove the aerator from the handle to clean it as well.
2-3. Run the faucet for 10 seconds to clear out any debris.
Before you reattach the handle, run warm water through your faucet. This can help get rid of any sediment that's loose inside the faucet so it doesn’t catch in your filter.
2-4. Put the filter back and screw the handle onto the supply hose.
Set the filter back inside the base of the handle the same direction it was facing before. Hold the handle up to the end of the hose so you can easily screw it back together. Tighten the nut by hand as far as you can before using your channel lock pliers to seal it.
If your faucet still has low water pressure, then you may have a problem with your supply line or pipes.
3. Checking the Shut-Off Valves
3-1. Locate the valves underneath your sink.
The water valves control how much water goes through your pipes and can be found underneath your sink. You should have 2 valves made of plastic or metal attached to your faucet to control hot and cold water separately.
3-2. Turn the valves counterclockwise to open them and increase water pressure.
If you have low water pressure, make sure the valves are in the open position. Rotate each of the valves counterclockwise until the arrow is pointing in the direction of the pipes. This means the water valve is fully opened and you should get the maximum amount of pressure.
Make sure both of the valves are all the way on so you can control the water temperature easier.
3-3. Rotate the valves clockwise to reduce water pressure.
If you have water pressure that’s too strong, turn the valves clockwise by a quarter rotation to decrease the pressure. If you turn 1 of the valves, make sure to turn the other valve the same amount.
Try turning the valves completely off and back on again to see if it fixes the problem on its own.
4. Flushing the Supply Lines
4-1. Turn off the hot water valve.
Locate the valve underneath your sink that controls the hot water. Rotate the valve clockwise until it’s horizontal with the pipe it’s connected to. This will turn off hot water to your faucet.
Put a towel underneath your sink in case any water spills.
4-2. Unscrew the supply line from the hot water valve and hold it over a bucket.
Use channel lock pliers or your fingers to rotate the nut above the valve counterclockwise. Loosen the nut until you can disconnect the supply line from the valve. Hold the end of the supply line over a bucket so it doesn’t spill any water.
Clean underneath your sink so you can easily fit a bucket directly under the supply line.
4-3. Run your water for 10 seconds to clear the supply line.
Turn your faucet all the way on so it’s at a neutral temperature. The cold water will go up through the faucet and out the hot water supply line. Let the water run for 10 seconds before turning it off again.
If your faucet has 2 handles to control the water temperature, turn them both the same amount.
4-4. Reattach the supply line and turn the valve on.
Hold the supply line over the valve and spin the nut clockwise. Keep tightening the nut by hand until you can’t rotate it anymore. Use your channel lock pliers to secure the supply line in place and prevent any leaks. Turn the valve counterclockwise into the open position.
4-5. Repeat the process with the cold water valve.
Turn off the cold water valve and disconnect the supply line. Make sure the supply line feeds into the bucket so you don’t spill any water. Turn your water on for 10 seconds to flush the line. Attach the supply line back to the valve with your pliers and turn the valve on.
Once both lines are flushed, the water pressure should be back to normal.
Tips
If none of the fixes worked for your faucet, hire a plumber to inspect your pipes to see if they are causing the problem.

1,329 | How to Adjust Forearm Crutches | 1. Adjusting the Height
1-1. Check the height of the handgrip.
The first thing to do when you are adjusting crutches is to measure where the handgrip is in relation to your height. Stand up straight, relax your shoulders, and let your arms hang down loosely at your sides. Ask someone to help you balance if necessary, and place one crutch at your side. Check to see where the handgrip is in relation to your arm. It should be level with your wrist.
Make sure you keep your arm hanging down at your side, fully extended.
If the handgrip is not level with the crease of your wrist you will need to adjust it.
1-2. Adjust the height of the handgrip.
If, after checking the height, you discover that you need to adjust the height of the handgrip, you will need to locate the spring buttons on the leg extensions of your crutches. There will be a small button or protruding metal knob along a series of small holes on the side of each crutch.
To adjust the height you simply have to push in this button and shorten or lengthen the leg extension by pushing it up or pulling it down.
If it doesn't move, the spring button is probably not completely pushed in.
1-3. Check the adjusted height.
Once you think you have the crutches at the right height you can do a quick test to check. Stand normally and take hold of the handgrips as you would if you were using the crutches. Now look at the angle of your elbow. Your elbow should be bent somewhere between 15 and 30 degrees.
You can look in a mirror or ask someone to judge the angle for you if you can't see it.
Be sure you check that both crutches are the same height.
1-4. Fix the crutches at the right height.
Once you have successfully adjusted the height of the crutches you need to fix them in place so they don't shift around. The first thing to do is ensure that the spring button is securely in place in the hole you have moved it to. It should be firm and you should not be able to move the leg extension up or down.
After checking this, tighten the ring you can find below all the adjustment holes.
This ring is called the collar, and you can tighten it like you would a screw or a jar lid.
2. Adjusting the Cuffs
2-1. Check the position of the cuffs.
After adjusting the height of the crutches you can go ahead any make any necessary adjustments to the cuffs. The cuffs are the ring-shaped pieces of plastic which you place your arm through when you are using the crutches. When you put your arm through and stand up, the cuffs should be situated around your forearm, just below your elbow.
Or, more precisely, one or two inches below the bend in your elbow. They should not restrict your ability to bend your elbow.
2-2. Adjust the cuff position.
If the cuffs are not in right place, you will need to make some adjustments to enable you to use the crutches easily and safely. Adjusting the cuffs is much like adjusting the height of the handgrip. Find the spring button in each cuff. The button will be at the back of the cuff, where it is attached to the crutch itself.
Push the button in and shift the cuffs up or down according to your requirements.
You will see that the cuffs move up and down a series of adjustment holes that are visible along the side of your crutch.
If your cuff is more of a horseshoe shape and has an opening, the opening should be facing forward, the way you are facing.
2-3. Secure the cuffs in position.
When you have the cuffs at the right height and they are comfortable, you can fix them in place. First, check that the spring button is secure and not too easy to push in. Next you just need to tighten the collars below the cuff on each crutch. You should also check that the collar you tightened after adjusting the height is still secure.
Sometimes with forearm crutches you can widen or narrow the width of the cuffs so you get a good fit around your arm. You want to be able to move freely, but with a secure fit.
Tips
Clean your crutches with a mild detergent.[7]

1,330 | How to Adjust French Doors | 1. Adjusting Hinges on Sagging Doors
1-1. Tighten all of the screws in each hinge with a screwdriver.
Over time, the screws on your hinges may come loose and cause your doors to sag. Open both of the French doors to expose the screws holding the hinges in place. Use the type of screwdriver that matches the heads on the hinge screws. Turn all of the screws on each side of the frame clockwise to tighten them and see if the doors are aligned again.
Don’t overtighten your screws since they could cause damage to the doors or the frame.
1-2. Check that the distance between the doors is the same for the entire height.
Close your doors and inspect the gaps between the doors. Use a measuring tape to find the distance between the 2 doors to see if it’s the same from top to bottom. If it is, then your door is level, but if the gap varies in size, your door is still sagging and you need to make further adjustments.
Many times, the active door you use most often will start to sag since it’s opened and closed more.
1-3. Adjust any positioning screws if your hinges have them.
Positioning screws are usually in the center of your hinge plates and tightened with a hex wrench. If you need to move the active door closer to the door frame, rotate the positioning screw clockwise by a half-turn at a time. If you need to move the door out from the frame, then turn the screw counterclockwise. Check the distance between the doors and the frame to make sure they are all uniform in size.
If your door is sagging down and sticking at the top, then tighten the top and middle hinges. If it’s sticking at the bottom, then adjust the bottom hinge.
Open and close the door while you work to see how your adjustments affect the door.
1-4. Use longer screws if there are large gaps between the doors and frame.
If your door still sags, the screws holding your hinges in place may not be long enough to reach the door jamb. Remove the screws on the hinge plate attached to the door frame and replace them with wood screws that are least 2–3 inches (5.1–7.6 cm) long. The longer screws will help support the weight of the doors better.
Only replace the screws in 1 hinge at a time so your door doesn’t fall out of the frame.
1-5. Try shimming the hinges to level the door if screws don’t fix the gaps.
Unscrew one of the hinges and remove it from your door and frame completely. Trace the outline of each hinge plate 3 times onto thin pieces of cardboard, like the kind you would find on a shoebox, and cut the shims out of the cardboard with a utility knife or a pair of scissors. Put 3 cardboard shims in each of the hinge’s mortises, which are the gaps in the frame and door where the hinges rest, and secure the hinge back in place.
Close your door after you put in the shims to check if you need to adjust any of the other hinges.
2. Sealing a Drafty Door
2-1. Pull the old weatherstripping off of the French door before replacing it.
The weatherstripping is usually located on the astragal, which is a long strip of vertical molding on the inactive door. Open the active door and locate the foam weather stripping on the astragal and peel it off of the door. If you have trouble peeling off the old weatherstripping, then use a paint scraper to remove it.
Interior French doors will not have weatherstripping, but exterior doors will.
2-2. Measure the height and width of the astragal with a tape measure.
Place the end of your tape measure at the top of the astragal, and pull the tape down until you reach the bottom of the door. Write down the measurement you took so you know how much weatherstripping you need to use. Then take the width of the astragal from the top, middle and bottom to make sure they’re the same.
The height of the door may vary slightly than the height of the astragal. Make sure to double-check your measurements to be sure you have the right height.
2-3. Cut a new piece of weatherstripping to match the height of the door.
Look for foam weatherstripping that has an adhesive back so you can easily attach it to your door. Use a pair of scissors or a utility knife to cut the weatherstripping to the length you need so it covers the entire astragal.
You can buy weatherstripping from hardware stores.
Foam weatherstripping also protects the door from damage if it accidentally slams closed.
2-4. Peel off the adhesive backing and press the weatherstripping onto the door.
Take off a 6–12 in (15–30 cm) section of the adhesive backing from one end of the weatherstripping and press it onto the astragal. Apply firm pressure on the weatherstripping to make sure it lays flat without any creases or bumps since it could affect how the door closes. Work 6–12 inches (15–30 cm) at a time so you don’t tangle the weatherstripping or make it adhere to itself.
You can also cut the weatherstripping to size after you stick it onto the door if you find it easier to.
Tips
If your door isn’t straight after you make adjustments to the hinges, then you may need to remove the door to plane it.[11]

1,331 | How to Adjust Gain on a Mic | 1. Tuning Digital Microphones
1-1. Plug the mic’s USB cord into a device and open the recording software.
Select a spot near where you plan on recording. Choose a safe spot, like a desktop, and make sure you have plenty of room to get up close to the mic. Then, plug the mic’s USB cord into your computer. Open the recording software so you’re able to get an idea what sounds your mic is detecting.
Try to arrange your equipment the same way you will when using it for a performance. It can save you some time later, but it also helps you adjust the gain more accurately.
Digital mics are very easy to adjust, but you should still test them ahead of time to ensure the gain level is correct.
1-2. Press the record button and speak into the microphone.
Think about how you plan on using the mic once everything has been set up. Stand in the same spot you plan on being for the official recording. Speak at the same volume you plan on using for the performance. You will end up with a more accurate test this way. Say or sing a few lines while the mic is on.
If you’re using the mic to pick up sound from an instrument, play the instrument to perform the test. Make sure any other equipment you’re using, such as amplifiers, have been set up.
You don’t need to create a long test recording to adjust the gain. Just do a short soundcheck, such as by reading a few lines or playing part of a song.
1-3. Use the sound software on your recorder to play back the test audio.
Press the playback button in the recording program on your computer. Every program has a decibel (dB) meter you can use to monitor volume. Listen to the audio quality as well. When the meter fills up, the recording usually distorts and becomes unpleasant to listen to. If the meter stays at a low level, the recording most likely will be too soft.
Audio clipping happens when the decibel level increases too high, usually above 0 dB. Clipping causes the audio to sound distorted, and distorted recordings are almost impossible to fix.
Some recording software has an active meter so you can watch the dB level while the microphone is in use. Check the microphone tab in the recording program.
1-4. Turn the dial on your microphone clockwise to increase the gain.
Most USB microphones have control knobs right on them, so adjusting the gain takes no time at all. Locate the dial, which will likely be marked gain and have a small, white stripe on it. Raise the gain to increase the volume. Turn the dial counterclockwise to lower the gain and decrease the overall volume.
Think of the dial as a clock. When its white stripe points upward, to the 12 o’clock position, the gain will be pretty much nothing. It usually needs to be closer to the 2 o’clock position to make a difference in the sound quality.
Gain dials usually aren’t labeled with numbers or settings, so you will have to adjust it manually through frequent tests.
1-5. Set the decibel level on the microphone around -6 to -12 dB.
The decibel level indicates how loud a recording sounds, but using the wrong level can make it too soft or too distorted. The loudest parts of the recording should be around -6 to -12. Watch the decibel meter through your recording software while also listening to the audio quality. Raise the gain if the recording is too soft, or lower it if it has noticeable clipping.
The proper gain setting can vary a lot depending on the type of recording you’re doing. If you’re just talking into a microphone, a high setting like -6 dB will be fine. If you’re playing a loud instrument, set it lower to avoid clipping.
When the gain is at a low dB setting, you can get louder without getting sound distortion. Normally, you should set the gain so the volume is consistent, but leave it a little lower if you expect the sound to get louder at any point.
For example, at a -2 dB setting, you have to speak at a consistent volume to avoid clipping. If it’s at -10 dB, you can get a little louder sometimes, such as by speaking louder when you get excited or turning up an instrument’s volume.
1-6. Record more test audio to make additional adjustments to the gain .
Each time you make an adjustment, start a new recording. Play it back while watching the volume level and listening to the sound quality. Then, make further adjustments to your mic as needed. At the right setting, you can make a quality recording that is enjoyable to listen to.
Keep testing the audio and making adjustments to it until you’re happy with it. Sometimes, finding the right settings takes some time.
2. Using Analog Microphones
2-1. Plug the microphone into a mixer or preamp to control the gain.
Analog mics don’t have their own gain controls, so they have to be plugged into something else to pick up sound. The simplest way to do this is by connecting the mic directly into a slot on a mixing board connected to a sound recorder. Mixing boards often have several different spots to plug in microphones, so they are great for recording things like live music. They also have separate gain controls for each mic you plug in.
A preamp picks up the signal from a microphone and pumps it up so it sounds louder. It gives you a higher-quality recording that you can then edit later. If you’re using one, it will have its own gain control.
Note that some places, like many concert venues, have sound systems that include mixing boards. Plug your recorder and microphones in there.
2-2. Rotate the control dial to set the gain to -8 to -12 dB.
The dial will be labeled as “gain” or “trim.” It is well-labeled and numbered on most mixers and preamps. You usually have to turn it clockwise to set the gain to a negative rating. Keep the gain relatively low so the sound level isn’t too loud.
If your device doesn’t have a labeled gain dial, turn it clockwise to about the 2 o’clock position. Then, make a recording, listen to it, and fine-tune the setting.
2-3. Turn on the sound recorder so you’re able to hear the microphone’s audio.
Make sure your recorder is plugged into the mixer or preamp. If you’re using a computer, open up the recording software. Look for a decibel meter tracking the volume level coming from the mic. You can use this to figure out the best gain setting.
2-4. Speak a few lines into the microphone to create a test recording.
Stand in front of the mic like you will during the recording. If you’re doing a vocal performance, speak or sing at the same volume you plan on using later. If you’re playing an instrument, tune it before playing it. Make sure any other devices you’re using, like amplifiers, have been hooked up and adjusted to the proper settings as well.
Many mixers and recording software have meters that light up while a mic is in use. Watch the meter to see what decibel level the audio reaches so you can make adjustments to it.
2-5. Change the gain level according to the test audio.
Listen to the sound quality while playing back the recording. If you’re using recording software, watch the sound level meter in it. Note any spots that sound loud or distorted, and turn the gain down a little to compensate. Go back and make another test recording to ensure that the gain is right where you want it.
If you’re using multiple mics, such as to record different instruments during a concert, check the gain on each one. Make sure the audio levels are relatively similar for each one.
If the recording sounds soft, bump up the gain level a little to increase the volume. However, be careful, since the audio can become distorted when the sound gets too loud.
Tips
Gain is different from volume, so adjust them separately using the dials on your microphone, mixer, or preamp. Gain determines how loud a sound is when it reaches your mic, but volume determines how loud it is coming out.[12]

Research source
There are different types of microphones, and some of them pick up more sound or even amplify more sound. For example, condenser mics are delicate and pick up low sounds like someone talking, but they tend to rattle when used for louder sounds like a powerful singing voice or booming bass.[13]

Research source
After making a recording, you can use editing software to fine-tune it. However, the audio can get distorted when you mess with it too much, so you can’t fully fix something that is too soft or too loud due to an incorrect gain setting.[14]

Warnings
The gain setting is very important in recording, so test the sound level frequently before a performance. If the gain level is off, the audio could be soft or even distorted, and bad recordings are difficult to fix.

Open the recording software so you’re able to get an idea what sounds your mic is detecting.\\nTry to arrange your equipment the same way you will when using it for a performance. It can save you some time later, but it also helps you adjust the gain more accurately.\\nDigital mics are very easy to adjust, but you should still test them ahead of time to ensure the gain level is correct.\\n1-2. Press the record button and speak into the microphone.\\nThink about how you plan on using the mic once everything has been set up. Stand in the same spot you plan on being for the official recording. Speak at the same volume you plan on using for the performance. You will end up with a more accurate test this way. Say or sing a few lines while the mic is on.\\nIf you’re using the mic to pick up sound from an instrument, play the instrument to perform the test. Make sure any other equipment you’re using, such as amplifiers, have been set up.\\nYou don’t need to create a long test recording to adjust the gain. Just do a short soundcheck, such as by reading a few lines or playing part of a song.\\n1-3. Use the sound software on your recorder to play back the test audio.\\nPress the playback button in the recording program on your computer. Every program has a decibel (dB) meter you can use to monitor volume. Listen to the audio quality as well. When the meter fills up, the recording usually distorts and becomes unpleasant to listen to. If the meter stays at a low level, the recording most likely will be too soft.\\nAudio clipping happens when the decibel level increases too high, usually above 0 dB. Clipping causes the audio to sound distorted, and distorted recordings are almost impossible to fix.\\nSome recording software has an active meter so you can watch the dB level while the microphone is in use. Check the microphone tab in the recording program.\\n1-4. Turn the dial on your microphone clockwise to increase the gain.\\nMost USB microphones have control knobs right on them, so adjusting the gain takes no time at all. Locate the dial, which will likely be marked gain and have a small, white stripe on it. Raise the gain to increase the volume. Turn the dial counterclockwise to lower the gain and decrease the overall volume.\\nThink of the dial as a clock. When its white stripe points upward, to the 12 o’clock position, the gain will be pretty much nothing. It usually needs to be closer to the 2 o’clock position to make a difference in the sound quality.\\nGain dials usually aren’t labeled with numbers or settings, so you will have to adjust it manually through frequent tests.\\n1-5. Set the decibel level on the microphone around -6 to -12 dB.\\nThe decibel level indicates how loud a recording sounds, but using the wrong level can make it too soft or too distorted. The loudest parts of the recording should be around -6 to -12. Watch the decibel meter through your recording software while also listening to the audio quality. Raise the gain if the recording is too soft, or lower it if it has noticeable clipping.\\nThe proper gain setting can vary a lot depending on the type of recording you’re doing. If you’re just talking into a microphone, a high setting like -6 dB will be fine. If you’re playing a loud instrument, set it lower to avoid clipping.\\nWhen the gain is at a low dB setting, you can get louder without getting sound distortion. Normally, you should set the gain so the volume is consistent, but leave it a little lower if you expect the sound to get louder at any point.\\nFor example, at a -2 dB setting, you have to speak at a consistent volume to avoid clipping. If it’s at -10 dB, you can get a little louder sometimes, such as by speaking louder when you get excited or turning up an instrument’s volume.\\n1-6. Record more test audio to make additional adjustments to the gain .\\nEach time you make an adjustment, start a new recording. Play it back while watching the volume level and listening to the sound quality. Then, make further adjustments to your mic as needed. At the right setting, you can make a quality recording that is enjoyable to listen to.\\nKeep testing the audio and making adjustments to it until you’re happy with it. Sometimes, finding the right settings takes some time.\\n2. Using Analog Microphones\\n2-1. Plug the microphone into a mixer or preamp to control the gain.\\nAnalog mics don’t have their own gain controls, so they have to be plugged into something else to pick up sound. The simplest way to do this is by connecting the mic directly into a slot on a mixing board connected to a sound recorder. Mixing boards often have several different spots to plug in microphones, so they are great for recording things like live music. They also have separate gain controls for each mic you plug in.\\nA preamp picks up the signal from a microphone and pumps it up so it sounds louder.

1,332 | How to Adjust Garage Door Cables | 1. Releasing the Door from the Track
1-1. Close the garage door completely.
Use the automatic control to close the door so it’s fully closed. If your cables are uneven or 1 of them has come off of the track, then there may be a small gap between the bottom of the door and the ground on 1 side.
Allow the door to close as much as it can.
Do not try to force the door closed if there’s a small gap.
1-2. Pull the red cord to release the door from the track.
At the base of the trolley track on the ceiling of your garage is a small box that operates the automatic garage door opener. Pull the red cord hanging from it until you hear a “click” to disengage the door from the track.
Don’t yank or jerk on the rope or you could damage the opener.
You may not be able to disengage the door from the track if the door isn’t closed completely. Try having someone put their weight on the door to close it fully so you can pull the rope to disengage it.
1-3. Lift the door with your hands and open it fully.
Grab the bottom edge of the door and lift it straight up. Get a good grip and keep lifting it so it follows along the trolley track. Continue to raise the door until it’s open as far as it will go.
If the cables or springs are misaligned or off of the track, the door may be difficult to open.
1-4. Clamp the garage door on the track so it stays open.
Many automatic garage doors have clamps near the end of the track that you can use to secure the door and keep it open. If your garage door doesn’t have clamps connected to it, attach 2 c-clamps to the track just below the lowest roller to keep it from closing.
You can find c-clamps at hardware stores, department stores, and online.
2. Positioning the Cables Correctly
2-1. Put the cable back on the pulley if it has come off.
If a cable comes completely off of the pulley, use your hands to wrap it back around the pulley so it’s as tight as possible. If you’re on the left side of the door, wrap the cable so it’s flush against the left side of the pulley. If you’re on the right side of the door, wrap it so it’s flush against the right side.
Wind the cable as tightly as you can with your hands. When you reconnect the garage door to the track and open it, the cable will wind itself tighter as the spring puts tension on it.
2-2. Wind the cable around the pulley if it’s loose.
At the top left and right corners of the garage door frame are pulleys that hold the cables that open the door. Use your hands to wrap the cable back around the pulley so it’s taut. When you reengage the automatic opener, the spring will put tension on the cable and tighten them further.
If the cable comes loose, it can affect how well the door functions and can cause it to not close fully.
When the door is open, there will be plenty of slack you can use to wind a loose cable back around the pulley.
2-3. Lower the door and use 2 metal rods to adjust the tension in the spring.
Lower the garage door, clamp or bolt it shut so it can’t open, and insert 1 metal rod into 1 of the holes around the perimeter of the spring. Then, insert another rod into a hole below the rod you already inserted. Lift the top rod upward to move the bottom rod until it’s flush against the door to adjust the tension in the spring.
If your cables are tightly wound on the pulley, but 1 side of the door is uneven, then you need to adjust the tension on the torsion spring mounted above the center of the garage door frame.
Use steel rods at least 18 inches (46 cm) long. You can find them at hardware stores and online.
Remove the rods from the spring after you make your adjustments.
The garage door must be lowered in order to adjust the spring.
2-4. Reengage the door to the automatic opener track by pulling the cord.
Pull the cord hanging from the automatic opener to activate the lever that will reconnect the door. Grab the door at the bottom and raise it until it reengages back onto the track.
You’ll hear a “click” when the door snaps back into place on the track.
2-5. Close the door fully to make sure the door is working properly.
Allow the door to close as far as it can on its own. If the cables have been adjusted properly, there won’t be any gaps at the bottom of the door and the bottom edge will be completely flush against the ground.
Open and close the door a few times to make sure the cables are functioning properly.

1,333 | How to Adjust Garage Door Tracks | 1. Shifting Vertical Tracks
1-1. Use a screwdriver to loosen the lower track brackets.
If you want to adjust your lower tracks, use a screwdriver or wrench to loosen the screws or nuts holding the lower track brackets in place. Make sure to do this on both the left and right track.
1-2. Move each track until there is a .25 in (0.64 cm) gap between the door and stop molding.
With the lower track brackets loosened, you can gently shift the tracks to the left or right, causing the garage door to move. Do this with both tracks until there is a .25 in (0.64 cm) gap between the bottom of the door and the top of the crown molding, indicating that the tracks may be properly aligned.
If you have trouble moving the tracks, place a thick piece of wood against the track and tap it with a hammer or mallet. The force should cause the track to shift.
1-3. Check your tracks with a vertical level.
In order for your garage door to function as intended, your tracks need to be perfectly level. If they aren't, the door will not open and close properly, potentially leading to unwanted gaps, panel buckling, or door binding.
1-4. Retighten the track brackets.
Use your fingers to retighten the screws or bolts holding the lower track brackets in place. Once you've reached finger tightness, meaning you can no longer turn the fasteners by hand, use your screw or wrench to add a few more turns. This will ensure that the fasteners are properly tightened without stripping them.
1-5. Make sure your door still opens.
To be sure that the tracks are properly aligned, open and close your garage door multiple times. If you have an automatic garage door, stand far away while it opens and closes. If you have a manual garage door, be extra cautious in case something was compromised during the adjustment process.
2. Moving Overhead Tracks
2-1. Use a screwdriver to loosen the fasteners holding the tracks in place.
Using a screwdriver or wrench, loosen up the screws or nuts securing the overhead garage tracks. Depending on which part of the tracks you need to adjust, this may mean the fasteners closest to the door, furthest from the door, or both.
2-2. Move the tracks to the position you want them.
If you're trying to fix misaligned tracks, shift the tracks left or right until they are perpendicular with the vertical tracks. If you're trying to slow down the speed at which your garage door opens, simply raise the tracks up. When you're finished adjusting the tracks, the distance between them and the garage door should be .5 inches (1.3 cm), otherwise the door may stick.
2-3. Retighten the track fasteners.
Using your fingers, tighten the nuts or screws holding the overhead tracks in place. When you can't tighten the fasteners by hand anymore, grab your screwdriver or wrench and turn the fasteners 2 or 3 more times. This will help you prevent unwanted stripping while tightening the fasteners to a safe and secure degree.
2-4. Test the door to make sure it works.
Open and close the garage door multiple times to make sure it works as expected. In particular, check that the horizontal tracks can support the door while it is in the overhead position. While testing, do not stand underneath the door in case it malfunctions.
3. Staying Safe
3-1. Put on protective clothing.
While working on your garage door, make sure to wear a long-sleeved shirt, thick pants or jeans, and heavy duty gloves. These will help keep your skin safe from cuts and other injuries.
3-2. Close the garage door before you start.
To avoid injuries caused by falling objects, your garage door should be in its vertical position while you are working on the rails. If your door is misaligned and will not shut properly, close it as much as you can. If you have an automatic door that refuses to close, turn off the garage door opener and pull the door shut yourself.
3-3. Turn off the garage door opener if necessary.
If you're adjusting the tracks on an automatic garage door, disable the garage door opener before you start working. For most doors, you can do this by simply pulling the emergency release handle located near the front of back of the overhead track. For model specific information, consult your garage door's user manual.
Warnings
It's a good idea to have a professional do any work on your garage door, because it has tension springs. Those are wound tightly, and if you do something wrong, they can snap, seriously injuring or even killing you.[4]

1,334 | How to Adjust Handlebars | 1. Adjusting Handlebars With a Threadless Headset Stem
1-1. Adjust your stem height to your comfort level, not a "right" location.
Let your body be the best judge of where you need the handlebars. Your back shouldn't be hunched or bent and your arms should be slightly bent at the elbows. Otherwise, ride how you feel comfortable. Have a friend hold the bike in place by gripping the front wheel between their thighs as you climb into the seat to test the handlebars. Generally, regardless of mountain or road biking:
Racing riders have low handlebars so they can crouch aerodynamically. They are usually below the seat 2-4".
Comfort riders or beginners will have handlebars level with the seat or higher.
1-2. Loosen the stem cap, the bolt pointing up where the stem meets the bike.
Take an Allen key and remove the bolt on the stem cap. This bolt keeps the handlebars on the bike, and you need to remove it to raise or lower your bars. Remove the long bolt and take off the cap, then set them both aside safely for later.
1-3. Loosen the bolts on each side of the stem.
Use an Allen Key to loosen the two side screws on your handlebars. They will be on the part of the stem closest to your seat. Loosen them enough so that you pull the handlebars and stem off the tube in the frame.
1-4. Pull the stem off of the bike frame.
Slowly remove the handlebars, taking care not to stress or bend any of the wires attached to the brakes and derailleurs. These usually have a little bit of extra slack, but to be safe you should roll the bike up to a table or chair and place the handlebars down carefully, close to the bike.
1-5. Add or remove the circular risers to bring the handlebars to the desired height.
These spacers are all you have to adjust the height on threadless headsets. They are small rings that you add to gain height and remove to lower the bars. The conical piece that the bottom of the stem and connects to the frame, however, is the bearing cover and cannot be removed.
You can buy more spacers at your local bike shop if you need the handlebars to get higher.
1-6. Slid the handlebar stem back over the spacers.
Don't worry too much about aligning the bars perfectly just yet. If you removed any spacers, put them on top of the stem so that you don't lose them. The stem cap bolt will then cover them.
1-7. Insert the stem cap bolt and tighten it by hand.
You do not need to crank the bolt down, as hand tightness is perfectly fine. This top bolt does not affect the side-to-side movement of the handlebars, so you should tighten it before trying to get the handlebars aligned again.
If you are working with delicate pieces, like a carbon fiber frame, you should have a torque wrench to make sure you don't crack anything.
Make sure you can turn the handlebars freely. If not, you should loosen the head bolt slightly until you can easily turn the bike.
1-8. Align the stem with the front wheel.
Stand over the bike with the frame between your legs, and squeeze the front wheel so that it is facing directly ahead. Close one eye and adjust the handlebars so that the centerpiece is aligned exactly with the front wheel. You want your wheel and handlebars to be in line for proper turning control.
If you are having trouble keeping the bars in place, tighten the nuts a quarter turn so that you need more pressure to spin the handlebars, yet they still move independently of the wheel.
Tighten the bolts when you are done and the handlebars are aligned.
1-9. Check your headset alignment.
The headset, remember, is the entire collection of piece (handlebars, stem, fork, front wheel) that turns your bike. The top bolt attaches to the headset of your bike, which affects your turning. To check it, stand with the bike between your legs and clamp the front brakes down. Turn the wheel back and forth and feel for any rocking or odd movement beneath your hands. If you feel any, loosen the side bolts, tighten the top bolt a little more, then retighten the sides to check again.
If you are struggling to turn or feel a "tight-spot," loosen the top bolt a little.
1-10. Know that threadless headsets can't be adjusted very much.
To keep bikes from unnecessary weight, many stems (the connecting, L-shaped piece between your bars and bike) do not have a lot of excess room. If you want to make a larger change to your handlebar height, you will need to purchase a new stem from your local bike shop. If you have serious comfort issues, such as reaching too far or not far enough to your bars, you should consider a longer or shorter stem.
Threadless headsets have one big bolt on the top and two smaller bolts that help clamp the stem down. If your bike only has one continuous piece of metal connecting the bike to the bars then you have a threaded headset.
2. Adjusting Threaded Headsets
2-1. Know if you have a threaded headset.
Threaded headsets have one continuous metal piece (stem) that comes up out of the frame, bends forward, and then attaches to the handlebars. There is a nut where the stem leaves the frame that holds it in place and one bolt at the top of the stem. These stems are easy to adjust and are common on single-speed, fixed gear, and older bikes.
Some bikes do not have a hex nut by the frame, and just have the bolt on the top of the stem.
2-2. Loosen the bolt on the top of the stem.
This bolt, pointing straight down, creates the pressure that holds the stem in place. Use an Allen key to loosen in, though your don't need to remove it entirely.
2-3. Loosen the locknut with a wrench.
Disengage the hex nut, which is the "ring" where the stem meets the bike frame, by loosening it with a wrench.
2-4. Pull the handlebars out of the frame.
You may need to wiggle, twist, and pull to get them out. If this is a new bike, mark the location where the handlebars used to rest with a marker or measurement so that you can return to this location if you need.
2-5. Wipe down and grease the stem lightly.
Clean off any gunk on the stem with soapy water and then dry it with an old rag. To prevent the stem from getting stuck in the frame later on, apply a little anti-seize grease around the bottom 2-3 inches of the stem.
2-6. Consider the kind of riding you'll be doing when deciding a new handlebar type.
Proper handlebar positioning largely depends on the type of bicycle you're using. That said, the number one concern when picking a height is rider comfort. You should put the handlebars where you can comfortably ride every time.
Road bike: Handlebars on racing bikes should be slightly lower than the seat to provide optimum aerodynamics and control at high speeds.
Mountain bike: Mountain bike handlebars should be lower than the seat. This gives you a lower center of gravity and better balance when negotiating rugged terrain.
Cruiser: Handlebars on standard bikes should be slightly higher than the seat to limit strain and provide maximum comfort.
2-7. Place the stem back at your desired height and tighten the hex nut and top bolt.
Hand tightness should be fine, especially with the top bolt. You don't want to crank on the bolt, making it so tight that you can't remove it later.
3. Adjusting Handlebar Angle
3-1. Check if your bike has an adjustable stem.
Adjustable stems have a single bolt running perpendicular to the bike where the stem meets the frame. You can loosen this bolt, adjust the stem angle, then tighten it back to quickly move your handlebars. If you have this option, adjust the stem and test it before moving on -- it may be enough to get you comfortable.
3-2. Loosen the four screws at the end of the handlebar stem.
The stem is the piece running perpendicular to your handlebars that attaches your frame to the handles. On the front of the bars (as if you were looking at the bike from straight ahead) are four screws, usually clamped to a small square plate on the center of the bars. Loosen these and the handlebars will be able to rotate up and down.
3-3. Know how high you should angle your handlebars.
You should feel like you could comfortably play piano on your handlebars. You want your arms slightly bent and you should be able to quickly and comfortably reach the brakes. Your back should be at a roughly 45-degree angle from your waist. Have a friend support the bike while you climb onto the seat and check your handlebar position.
Angling the handlebars is a minor adjustment. If you can't reach the brakes, have to bend over uncomfortably, or must extend your arms all the way, you will need to purchase a new handlebar stem. You may also be riding a bike that is too big for you.
Position the brake levers so they're pointing at a 45-degree angle toward the ground rather than keeping them parallel.
3-4. Angle the handlebars to a comfortable height, lightly tighten them, and test.
Have your friend hold the bike, or try a quick practice ride in a small area. Make sure you remember to tighten the bolts before beginning, however, as your weight could force the bars to angle suddenly down and cause a crash.
In many ways, handlebar angle is a matter of personal preference. As long as you are comfortable, they will work.
If you've been having finger numbness when riding, consider tipping your bars up a little more. This puts less pressure on your palms that may cut off some circulation.
3-5. Tighten the bolts by hand once you've set the right angle.
You need them to be hand tightened enough so that the bars don't move when you ride. However, you do not want them to be so tight that you cannot remove the bolts later or the screws become stripped.
If you have a torque wrench you should set the bolts to 5nm strength.
Be sure to tighten the handlebars completely, or you may strip the bolts holding them to the stem and make your bike unsafe to ride.
Tips
Make sure you're able to reach the brake levers and gear shifters easily after altering the position of your handlebars.
Be sure not to kink brake or gear cables when you adjust handlebars.
If altering the position of your handlebars becomes problematic, consider changing the height of the seat.
Warnings
Double check that you've tightened every bolt before riding again to prevent an accident.

Loosen the bolt on the top of the stem.\\nThis bolt, pointing straight down, creates the pressure that holds the stem in place. Use an Allen key to loosen in, though your don't need to remove it entirely.\\n2-3. Loosen the locknut with a wrench.\\nDisengage the hex nut, which is the \\\"ring\\\" where the stem meets the bike frame, by loosening it with a wrench.\\n2-4. Pull the handlebars out of the frame.\\nYou may need to wiggle, twist, and pull to get them out. If this is a new bike, mark the location where the handlebars used to rest with a marker or measurement so that you can return to this location if you need.\\n2-5. Wipe down and grease the stem lightly.\\nClean off any gunk on the stem with soapy water and then dry it with an old rag. To prevent the stem from getting stuck in the frame later on, apply a little anti-seize grease around the bottom 2-3 inches of the stem.\\n2-6. Consider the kind of riding you'll be doing when deciding a new handlebar type.\\nProper handlebar positioning largely depends on the type of bicycle you're using. That said, the number one concern when picking a height is rider comfort. You should put the handlebars where you can comfortably ride every time.\\nRoad bike: Handlebars on racing bikes should be slightly lower than the seat to provide optimum aerodynamics and control at high speeds.\\nMountain bike: Mountain bike handlebars should be lower than the seat. This gives you a lower center of gravity and better balance when negotiating rugged terrain.\\nCruiser: Handlebars on standard bikes should be slightly higher than the seat to limit strain and provide maximum comfort.\\n2-7. Place the stem back at your desired height and tighten the hex nut and top bolt.\\nHand tightness should be fine, especially with the top bolt. You don't want to crank on the bolt, making it so tight that you can't remove it later.\\n3. Adjusting Handlebar Angle\\n3-1. Check if your bike has an adjustable stem.\\nAdjustable stems have a single bolt running perpendicular to the bike where the stem meets the frame. You can loosen this bolt, adjust the stem angle, then tighten it back to quickly move your handlebars. If you have this option, adjust the stem and test it before moving on -- it may be enough to get you comfortable.\\n3-2. Loosen the four screws at the end of the handlebar stem.\\nThe stem is the piece running perpendicular to your handlebars that attaches your frame to the handles. On the front of the bars (as if you were looking at the bike from straight ahead) are four screws, usually clamped to a small square plate on the center of the bars. Loosen these and the handlebars will be able to rotate up and down.\\n3-3. Know how high you should angle your handlebars.\\nYou should feel like you could comfortably play piano on your handlebars. You want your arms slightly bent and you should be able to quickly and comfortably reach the brakes. Your back should be at a roughly 45-degree angle from your waist. Have a friend support the bike while you climb onto the seat and check your handlebar position.\\nAngling the handlebars is a minor adjustment. If you can't reach the brakes, have to bend over uncomfortably, or must extend your arms all the way, you will need to purchase a new handlebar stem. You may also be riding a bike that is too big for you.\\nPosition the brake levers so they're pointing at a 45-degree angle toward the ground rather than keeping them parallel.\\n3-4. Angle the handlebars to a comfortable height, lightly tighten them, and test.\\nHave your friend hold the bike, or try a quick practice ride in a small area. Make sure you remember to tighten the bolts before beginning, however, as your weight could force the bars to angle suddenly down and cause a crash.\\nIn many ways, handlebar angle is a matter of personal preference. As long as you are comfortable, they will work.\\nIf you've been having finger numbness when riding, consider tipping your bars up a little more. This puts less pressure on your palms that may cut off some circulation.\\n3-5. Tighten the bolts by hand once you've set the right angle.\\nYou need them to be hand tightened enough so that the bars don't move when you ride. However, you do not want them to be so tight that you cannot remove the bolts later or the screws become stripped.\\nIf you have a torque wrench you should set the bolts to 5nm strength.\\nBe sure to tighten the handlebars completely, or you may strip the bolts holding them to the stem and make your bike unsafe to ride.\\nTips\\nMake sure you're able to reach the brake levers and gear shifters easily after altering the position of your handlebars.\\nBe sure not to kink brake or gear cables when you adjust handlebars.\\nIf altering the position of your handlebars becomes problematic, consider changing the height of the seat.\\nWarnings\\nDouble check that you've tightened every bolt before riding again to prevent an accident.\\n\", \"简要回答\": \"Proper adjustment of bicycle handlebars ensures optimum comfort for the rider and enables road and mountain bikers to achieve maximum performance.

1,335 | How to Adjust Hiking Poles | 1. For Flat Ground
1-1. Clean the poles if they are dirty.
Simply use a damp rag or paper towel over the surfaces of the pole, and then allow it to dry. They may be harder to twist and move if there is a lot of dirt or dust between the different pieces.
Dirt and moisture can ruin the expander pieces in your poles over time, so it's a good idea in general to the poles clean, or even disassemble them after each use.
Do not use lubricants such as WD40 to clean your hiking poles. This could affect the function of the adjusting pieces.
1-2. Unlock each pole.
There are typically two options for adjusting the sections of your hiking poles. The first, and perhaps most common, is to twist the poles to loosen and tighten them. The second option is a small lever which would you flick open with your thumb and then flick closed once you have adjusted the pole length.
Most hiking poles twist to the left to unlock, and to the right to lock. There should be arrows to show you which way to twist.
1-3. Adjust the right pole so that your arm forms a 90 degree angle.
Take the right hand pole and hold it out in front of you. Relax your shoulders, keep your elbows close to your side, and make sure that the pole is touching the ground.
If your pole has multiple adjustable sections, start with the lowest part. Extend it as necessary until it has reached maximum length, then move onto the next part if you still want it to be longer. This way, if you need to adjust your poles while walking, it is easier to just adjust the top part.
Although the poles look very similar, most pole sets have a right and left hand pole where the grip is slightly different to adjust to your hands' shape.
1-4. Adjust your left pole to be the same length as the right.
Hold them next to each other to ensure they are the same height.
Place your poles on a flat surface so that it is easier to compare lengths.
1-5. Lock both poles.
Either tighten them or flip the lever closed. Make sure they are fully tightened so that the poles will not adjust as you are walking.
2. For Different Terrains
2-1. Lengthen your poles to chest height when hiking downhill.
This is especially important for steep descents, as it takes some of the pressure off of your knees.
Unlock the upper portion of your each pole and extend it until you can walk comfortably. Stand up straight and keep your shoulders relaxed to ensure correct use of the poles.
2-2. Shorten your poles to thigh height when hiking uphill.
If you feel like you are reaching your arms out too far in order to plant your poles, they need to be shorter. You should feel like you are walking naturally.
Remember that it is easier to adjust the lower section of the pole for flat ground and adjust the top part for going up and down hills.
2-3. Adjust the poles to different lengths for contouring.
If you are on the side of a hill, use a longer pole for the downhill side and a shorter pole for the uphill side to maintain your balance.
The amount that you will adjust the poles partially depends on the terrain and steepness of the hill, but a good general rule is to keep the uphill pole at thigh height and the downhill pole at chest-height.
If anything feels painful or awkward, you should stop to readjust. The goal of hiking poles is to provide additional stability, so you shouldn't feel uncomfortable when using them.
Tips
You can mark your adjustments with a permanent marker if you'd like, making it easier to adjust in the future.
Grip the poles loosely to reduce the risk of hand and wrist soreness.

1,336 | How to Adjust Hop Up on an Airsoft Rifle | 1. Changing Hop with an Adjustment Wheel
1-1. Shoot 10-20 BBs at a target 50 ft (15 m) away and watch their trajectory.
Go to a safe, open area where you can shoot your airsoft rifle while you adjust the hop up. Pick a target and fire your BBs at it and watch whether they drop down right away or curve erratically upwards.
For example, you could do this at an airsoft field before you play a match or in an unoccupied, rural field.
Firing at least 10 rounds will warm up your airsoft rifle so you can see the true trajectory of the BBs.
1-2. Flip open the adjustment wheel cover on the side of your airsoft rifle.
The adjustment wheel cover is a rectangular cover that is usually on the right-hand side of your airsoft rifle directly above the BB magazine. Flip this cover down and hold it open to access the adjustment wheel.
An adjustment wheel is one of the most common adjustment mechanisms on airsoft rifles. Many M-4 style airsoft rifles have this mechanism, for example.
1-3. Turn the adjustment wheel clockwise if your BBs are dropping too soon.
Turning the wheel clockwise will increase the hop up and make your airsoft rifle shoot BBs further. Grab the adjustment wheel by one of the notches and turn it to the right 1/4, 1/2, or 1 full turn, depending on how much hop you want to add.
For example, if your BBs are curving down right away without travelling straight at all, you might try turning the wheel 1 full turn.
If you turn the wheel all the way to the right, you will set the hop all the way up and your BBs will curve up and travel erratically. Make small adjustments to the right to increase the hop a little at a time and find the ideal hop setting.
There might be arrows and labels that say “up” and “down” next to the wheel to help you remember which way to turn the wheel.
1-4. Rotate the adjustment wheel clockwise if your BBs are curving up.
This will decrease the hop and make your BBs travel more straight. Grab the adjustment wheel and turn it to the left 1/4, 1/2, or 1 complete turn, depending on how much you want to decrease the hop.
For example, if your BBs are travelling straight right after you shoot them, but then curving up before they reach your target, you might try turning the wheel counterclockwise by about 1/4-1/2 a turn.
If you turn the wheel all the way to the left, there will be no hop on your airsoft rifle and the BBs will just drop out of the barrel without travelling straight at all.
1-5. Test your airsoft rifle and make adjustments until the BBs go straight and far.
Shoot 2-3 rounds out of your airsoft rifle after each adjustment you make. Keep turning the wheel about 1/4 turn at a time either clockwise to add hop or counterclockwise to remove hop until your BBs shoot straight and far.
The ideal hop for your airsoft rifle will cause your BBs to go slightly up during their trajectory, but then drop down again towards the end before they hit your target, resulting in a straight, accurate shot.
Keep in mind that wind and BB weight can affect the trajectory of your BBs as well.
2. Making Adjustments with a Slider Bar
2-1. Test-fire 10-20 BBs at a target 50 ft (15 m) away and watch their flight path.
Choose a safe, open area to test-fire your airsoft rifle and make adjustments to the hop up. Aim at a target, shoot the BBs at it, and take note of whether they curve erratically upwards or curve down right away.
For instance, an empty airsoft field or somewhere in the woods where there are no trails or people around could be a good place to do this.
Make sure to fire at least 10 rounds, so your airsoft rifle has time to warm up and you can see the actual flight path of your BBs.
2-2. Slide open the adjustment slider bar cover on the side of your airsoft rifle.
The adjustment slider bar cover is usually on the right-hand side of your airsoft rifle directly above the BB magazine and looks like what cocks back to eject bullets on a real rifle. Slide this cover back to open it up and access the adjustment slider bar.
Slider-type hop adjustment bars are common on AK-47 type airsoft rifles.
2-3. Slide the bar towards the butt of the rifle if your BBs are dropping too soon.
Sliding the bar to the left will add hop up and make your BBs shoot further and straighter. Grab the slider bar and move it towards the butt of your airsoft rifle about 1/4 of the total length of the slot in the bar.
If you slide the bar all the way to the left, this sets the hop up to the maximum level.
There might be notches and numbers on the slider bar that you can use to keep track of how far you’re adjusting it.
2-4. Move the bar towards the barrel if your BBs are curving up.
This will lower the amount of hop up to make your BBs travel more straight and not curve up drastically. Grab the adjustment slider bar and push it to the right towards the barrel about 1/4 of the length of the slot in the bar.
If you slide the bar all the way to the right, this takes away all the hop up from your airsoft rifle and your BBs will have no range when you shoot them.
2-5. Shoot the airsoft rifle and adjust the bar until your BBs travel straight and far.
Fire 2-3 rounds out of your airsoft rifle after each minor adjustment you make to the slider bar. Continue to slide the bar about 1/4 of the length of the slot in the bar, or less, to the left to increase hop or to the right to decrease hop.
Ideally, your BBs should travel straight right out of the barrel, then lift up slightly in the middle of their trajectory, then finally drop back down at the end to hit the target that you’re aiming straight at.
Remember that the weight of your BBs and the amount of wind will affect how your BBs travel.
Tips
Adjust the hop on your airsoft rifle any time you change the brand or weight of BBs that you’re using or when you change your shooting technique.[11]

1,338 | How to Adjust Hunter Sprinklers | 1. Radius Adjustment
1-1. Insert the hex end of your Hunter wrench key into the radius reduction screw.
The hex end is the slim, square bar that sticks out on one side of your Hunter wrench key. The radius reduction screw is a small hole at the center of the arrow with a tiny “x” in the middle. You'll find it on your sprinkler cap.
If you’ve lost your Hunter wrench key, no worries! You can actually use a normal 3/32 Allen key to make this adjustment.
You can make this adjustment with the water on or off.
1-2. Turn the hex bar clockwise to decrease the radius.
Go slowly and stop when you’re happy with the radius. Alternatively, stop turning when you feel resistance.
Your hex bar will stop turning when you’ve reduced the radius by 25%. You can’t reduce the radius more than this.
1-3. Spin the hex bar counterclockwise to increase the radius.
If your radius is too small now, simply turn the hex bar back the other way. The radius will expand again up to the full preset radius.
You may need to adjust the radius back and forth to get your desired sprinkler coverage. If you can’t get the radius you want, switch out your nozzle to a bigger nozzle for a wider radius or a smaller nozzle for a smaller radius. You can find instructions on how to do this in the Precipitation Rate section below.
2. Rotor Head Adjustment
2-1. Find the arrow on top of the sprinkler cap to locate the nozzle.
Look for a raised, rubber circle with the outline of an arrow on it. Follow the arrow to locate where the water sprays out of the sprinkler nozzle.
You can adjust your sprinkler with the water on or off.
2-2. Insert your Hunter wrench key into the pull-up socket.
The pull-up socket looks like the planet Saturn. There’s a circle in the middle and a line running through it. Push the key end of your Hunter wrench into this hole.
2-3. Twist the key and pull up on the socket.
The entire sprinkler head will pop out of the base so you can adjust the inner assembly. Now, you can check your arc distance and change it if necessary.
You can remove the Hunter wrench while the sprinkler head is pulled up. You’ll actually need it to make adjustments to the left. You can adjust the sprayer toward the right without the key.
2-4. Check the current arc by spinning the head to the left, then the right.
Use your hand to gently twist the sprinkler head as far to the left as it will go. Note where the arrow is pointing, as this is the left stop of your arc. Next, spin the head back toward the right as far as it will go. Check where the arrow is pointing because this is the right stop.
Do this first so you know how far you need to adjust the sprinkler arc.
2-5. Twist the sprinkler head to the right to line up the arrow with your right stop.
Use your hand to gently tighten the sprinkler head. Keep going until the arrow is pointing where you want the sprinkler to stop spraying on the right side of its arc.
If your base won’t tighten any more, grasp the entire sprinkler cap and turn it clockwise to loosen it. Then, lift the inner assembly out of the sprinkler base. Spin the cap all the way to the right, then put it back in the base with the arrow pointing at your right stop. Twist the cap clockwise to tighten it into the base. Your arrow should be pointing at your right stop.
2-6. Insert your Hunter wrench key into the plus/minus arc adjustment slot on the cap.
The plus/minus arc adjustment slot has a big “X” on it. Push the key end of your Hunter wrench into this hole to make adjustments.
You may be able to make plus/minus adjustments by inserting a ⁄4 inch (0.64 cm) screwdriver or hex wrench into the slot. However, Hunter Industries states that you need the key to make this adjustment.
2-7. Hold the sprinkler head while turning the key clockwise to widen the arc.
Use your hand to hold the sprinkler head in place so the arrow stays pointing on your right stop. Then, turn the key clockwise to widen the arc. Each full turn will widen the arc by 90 degrees. Stop if you meet resistance or hear a grinding sound.
The highest you can widen your arc is 360 degrees. When you reach this point, the key will either stop moving or you’ll hear a grinding sound.
Clockwise is the plus, or positive, direction.
2-8. Check the arc to make sure the stop points are correct.
Turn your sprinkler head all the way to the right, then all the way to the left. Make sure the arrows line up with your desired right and left stop points.
2-9. Turn the key counterclockwise to shorten the sprinkler arc.
If you widen your arc too far, don’t worry. Simply turn the Hunter wrench key a little in the counterclockwise direction. This will shorten your arc.
Counterclockwise is the minus, or negative, direction.
2-10. Push down on the sprinkler head to close it.
Once your adjustments are complete, you can simply slide your sprinkler head back down into the base. You’re all set to water your plot!
3. Precipitation Rate and Nozzles
3-1. Insert the key end of your Hunter wrench key into the pull-up socket.
The pull-up socket looks like the planet Saturn because it’s a circle with a line through it. Turn the key 90 degrees and lift up the inner assembly.
You won’t be able to change the nozzle without your Hunter wrench key.
3-2. Put the hex bar into the radius reduction screw and turn counterclockwise.
The hex bar is the slim, square metal bar on your Hunter wrench key. The radius reduction screw is the hole on the arrow on your sprinkler cap. Twist the bar as far as it will go counterclockwise to uncover the nozzle.
If the bar doesn’t move, you can go on to the next step.
The arrow points to where your nozzle is, so the nozzle will be just below the arrow.
3-3. Turn on the water to push out the nozzle.
Remove the hex bar if you haven’t already. The force of the water will blow out the nozzle, since there’s nothing holding it in. Turn off the water so you can install the new nozzle.
If you prefer, you can remove the nozzle by hand by grasping the edge of the nozzle with needle-nosed pliers and pulling outward. Remember, the nozzle is just below the arrow on your sprinkler cap.
Keep the nozzle if it’s not damaged, as you can reuse it later.
3-4. Install a larger nozzle if you want higher precipitation.
Use a larger nozzle if your soil tends to be dry. Gently push your new nozzle into the hole below the arrow on your sprinkler cap. Reinsert the hex bar so you can tighten the nozzle range screw.
3-5. Insert a smaller nozzle for lower precipitation.
Go with a smaller nozzle if your soil gets too wet. Slide the new nozzle into the hole under the arrow on your sprinkler cap. Then, tighten the nozzle range screw using the hex bar.
4. Spray Sprinkler Adjustments
4-1. Turn the sprinkler on while you adjust it so you can see the spray.
You want the water on so you can see which area of your lawn is getting watered. Observe the direction and arc of the spray so you know what adjustments you need to make.
4-2. Use your hand to turn the sprayer to your right stop point.
Hold the base of the sprinkler in one hand as you slowly twist the sprayer toward the right. You’ll hear a ratcheting noise with each turn, which is okay. The sprinkler is supposed to make that noise when it turns because its base is a ratchet system. Stop turning the sprinkler when the water is spraying toward your desired right stop point.
If you go too far, just spin the sprayer back toward the left.
4-3. Spin the nozzle clockwise to decrease the arc.
The nozzle on a spray sprinkler is the top cap on the sprinkler where the water comes out. Grip the edges of this cap, then twist. The water spray will start to narrow, covering less ground. Stop turning the nozzle when you reach your desired arc.
You don’t need any special tools to adjust spray sprinklers.
If you go too far, just twist it back the other way.
4-4. Twist the nozzle counterclockwise to increase the arc.
Use your hand to grip the edges of the nozzle cap and turn it. Watch the spray expand until the water reaches as far as you'd like. Stop spinning the cap when you’re happy with the arc.
If the arc gets too wide, simply spin the nozzle back counterclockwise.
4-5. Reduce the radius by turning the nozzle screw clockwise.
The nozzle screw is at the center of the sprinkler cap where the water sprays out. Insert a ⁄4 inch (0.64 cm) flat-head screwdriver into the screwhead. Slowly spin the screwdriver to shorten the radius, which is how far the water reaches. Stop twisting when you’re happy with your sprinkler coverage.
4-6. Increase the radius by turning the nozzle screw counterclockwise.
Find the nozzle screw at the center of the sprinkler cap, which is where the water sprays out. Use your ⁄4 inch (0.64 cm) screwdriver to slowly turn the screwdriver counterclockwise to widen your radius, which is how far the water sprays. Keep turning until you’re happy with your sprinkler coverage.
Tips
You’ll need a Hunter wrench key for most adjustments to Hunter rotor sprinklers. If you lost your key, don’t worry because you can get a new one anywhere that sells Hunter sprinklers or online.
Go slowly as you're making adjustments so you don’t accidentally twist too far. If you do, you could damage the sprinkler.

Twist the cap clockwise to tighten it into the base. Your arrow should be pointing at your right stop.\\n2-6. Insert your Hunter wrench key into the plus/minus arc adjustment slot on the cap.\\nThe plus/minus arc adjustment slot has a big “X” on it. Push the key end of your Hunter wrench into this hole to make adjustments.\\nYou may be able to make plus/minus adjustments by inserting a ⁄4 inch (0.64 cm) screwdriver or hex wrench into the slot. However, Hunter Industries states that you need the key to make this adjustment.\\n2-7. Hold the sprinkler head while turning the key clockwise to widen the arc.\\nUse your hand to hold the sprinkler head in place so the arrow stays pointing on your right stop. Then, turn the key clockwise to widen the arc. Each full turn will widen the arc by 90 degrees. Stop if you meet resistance or hear a grinding sound.\\nThe highest you can widen your arc is 360 degrees. When you reach this point, the key will either stop moving or you’ll hear a grinding sound.\\nClockwise is the plus, or positive, direction.\\n2-8. Check the arc to make sure the stop points are correct.\\nTurn your sprinkler head all the way to the right, then all the way to the left. Make sure the arrows line up with your desired right and left stop points.\\n2-9. Turn the key counterclockwise to shorten the sprinkler arc.\\nIf you widen your arc too far, don’t worry. Simply turn the Hunter wrench key a little in the counterclockwise direction. This will shorten your arc.\\nCounterclockwise is the minus, or negative, direction.\\n2-10. Push down on the sprinkler head to close it.\\nOnce your adjustments are complete, you can simply slide your sprinkler head back down into the base. You’re all set to water your plot!\\n3. Precipitation Rate and Nozzles\\n3-1. Insert the key end of your Hunter wrench key into the pull-up socket.\\nThe pull-up socket looks like the planet Saturn because it’s a circle with a line through it. Turn the key 90 degrees and lift up the inner assembly. \\nYou won’t be able to change the nozzle without your Hunter wrench key.\\n3-2. Put the hex bar into the radius reduction screw and turn counterclockwise.\\nThe hex bar is the slim, square metal bar on your Hunter wrench key. The radius reduction screw is the hole on the arrow on your sprinkler cap. Twist the bar as far as it will go counterclockwise to uncover the nozzle.\\nIf the bar doesn’t move, you can go on to the next step.\\nThe arrow points to where your nozzle is, so the nozzle will be just below the arrow.\\n3-3. Turn on the water to push out the nozzle.\\nRemove the hex bar if you haven’t already. The force of the water will blow out the nozzle, since there’s nothing holding it in. Turn off the water so you can install the new nozzle.\\nIf you prefer, you can remove the nozzle by hand by grasping the edge of the nozzle with needle-nosed pliers and pulling outward. Remember, the nozzle is just below the arrow on your sprinkler cap.\\nKeep the nozzle if it’s not damaged, as you can reuse it later.\\n3-4. Install a larger nozzle if you want higher precipitation.\\nUse a larger nozzle if your soil tends to be dry. Gently push your new nozzle into the hole below the arrow on your sprinkler cap. Reinsert the hex bar so you can tighten the nozzle range screw.\\n3-5. Insert a smaller nozzle for lower precipitation.\\nGo with a smaller nozzle if your soil gets too wet. Slide the new nozzle into the hole under the arrow on your sprinkler cap. Then, tighten the nozzle range screw using the hex bar.\\n4. Spray Sprinkler Adjustments\\n4-1. Turn the sprinkler on while you adjust it so you can see the spray.\\nYou want the water on so you can see which area of your lawn is getting watered. Observe the direction and arc of the spray so you know what adjustments you need to make.\\n4-2. Use your hand to turn the sprayer to your right stop point.\\nHold the base of the sprinkler in one hand as you slowly twist the sprayer toward the right. You’ll hear a ratcheting noise with each turn, which is okay. The sprinkler is supposed to make that noise when it turns because its base is a ratchet system. Stop turning the sprinkler when the water is spraying toward your desired right stop point.\\nIf you go too far, just spin the sprayer back toward the left.\\n4-3. Spin the nozzle clockwise to decrease the arc.\\nThe nozzle on a spray sprinkler is the top cap on the sprinkler where the water comes out. Grip the edges of this cap, then twist. The water spray will start to narrow, covering less ground. Stop turning the nozzle when you reach your desired arc.\\nYou don’t need any special tools to adjust spray sprinklers.\\nIf you go too far, just twist it back the other way.\\n4-4. Twist the nozzle counterclockwise to increase the arc.\\nUse your hand to grip the edges of the nozzle cap and turn it. Watch the spray expand until the water reaches as far as you'd like. Stop spinning the cap when you’re happy with the arc.\\nIf the arc gets too wide, simply spin the nozzle back counterclockwise.\\n4-5. Reduce the radius by turning the nozzle screw clockwise.\\nThe nozzle screw is at the center of the sprinkler cap where the water sprays out. Insert a ⁄4 inch (0.64 cm) flat-head screwdriver into the screwhead. Slowly spin the screwdriver to shorten the radius, which is how far the water reaches. Stop twisting when you’re happy with your sprinkler coverage.\\n4-6. Increase the radius by turning the nozzle screw counterclockwise.\\nFind the nozzle screw at the center of the sprinkler cap, which is where the water sprays out. Use your ⁄4 inch (0.64 cm) screwdriver to slowly turn the screwdriver counterclockwise to widen your radius, which is how far the water sprays. Keep turning until you’re happy with your sprinkler coverage.\\nTips\\nYou’ll need a Hunter wrench key for most adjustments to Hunter rotor sprinklers. If you lost your key, don’t worry because you can get a new one anywhere that sells Hunter sprinklers or online.\\nGo slowly as you're making adjustments so you don’t accidentally twist too far. If you do, you could damage the sprinkler.\\n\", \"简要回答\": \"You can adjust the spray of your sprinklers to keep your lawn happy and healthy.

1,339 | How to Adjust Hydraulic Bicycle Brakes | 1. Realigning the Calipers
1-1. Place the bike in an elevated bike stand.
Carefully pick up the bike and place it onto a bike stand so you can access the hydraulic brakes easily. Make sure you have enough space around the bike to move freely around it.
You’ll also need to be able to reach the handlebars while you’re adjusting the brakes, so make sure you have enough space.
1-2. Loosen the mounting bolts on the outside of the brakes with a hex wrench.
Take a hex wrench and carefully turn the 2 outer mounting bolts on the brakes counterclockwise to loosen them so you can adjust the brakes. Loosen the mounting bolts just enough so you can wiggle the internal mechanisms of the brakes but not so much that they’re disassembled.
You can find hex wrenches at bicycle repair shops, at your local hardware store, or by searching online.
If you only need to adjust the brakes on 1 tire, do not loosen the mounting bolts of the other tire or you could cause the rotor and calipers to be misaligned.
1-3. Squeeze the brake lever on the handlebars to center the calipers.
The calipers are metal brackets that squeeze the brake pads against the rotor to slow down your bike. Locate the brake lever on the handlebars that control the brakes that you’re adjusting. Squeeze and hold the lever down to realign the calipers so they’re centered over the rotor.
1-4. Rotate the centering bolts if the brake lever isn’t enough to align the calipers.
With the brake lever on the handlebar depressed, check the rotor to see if it’s centered between and in contact with the brake pads. If it isn’t, use a hex wrench to turn the centering bolts holding the calipers to tighten the brake pads around the rotor.
Use small adjustments and don’t overtighten the centering bolts or the brake pads will rub against the rotor.
Squeezing the brake lever is often enough to realign the calipers.
1-5. Release the brake lever and spin the wheel to check for rubbing.
Once you adjust the calipers, let go of the brake lever and check to see if there’s even space between the rotor and the brake pads. Give the tire a good spin and look for any rubbing. Listen for clicking or scraping sounds as well.
If you do see or hear signs of rubbing, adjust the centering bolts until the rotor rests evenly between the brake pads.
1-6. Tighten the mounting bolts so they’re fully secure and take a test ride.
Use a hex wrench to fully tighten all of the mounting bolts so the brake assembly is held firmly and securely. Take the bike off of the rack and go for a short test ride in a safe area such as a parking lot or driveway to test out the brakes to make sure they’re working.
Always go for a safe test ride before taking the bike out for a longer ride.
2. Checking for Rotor Rub
2-1. Put the bike in an elevated stand so the tires can rotate.
Place the bike in a stand that allows both of the tires to freely turn and so you can easily move around it to see the rotors and calipers. If you don’t have a stand, flip the bike upside down and balance it on the handlebars and seat.
2-2. Spin the wheels and check the gaps between the rotor and brake pads.
Give the wheel a good turn so it continues spinning freely and locate the small rotor plate. Look in the space between the 2 brake pads on each tire for the rotor.
Check both tires and find the rotor plate between each set of brakes.
If your bike only has brakes on the rear tire, then you’ll only need to check there.
2-3. Look for rubbing between the rotor and the pads.
While the tire is rotating, watch the rotor spin in the space between the brake pads. Check to see if the small rotor is touching or rubbing against 1 or both of the brake pads. If there is any rubbing, then you’ll need to adjust the calipers to realign the rotor.
If your bike has brakes on both the front and rear tire, check the rotors on both for rubbing.
2-4. Listen for a scraping sound that signals rotor rub.
In addition to checking the small rotor plate to see if it’s rubbing against the brake pads, listen for a clicking or scraping noise while the tire spins. If you hear any abrasive sounds, the calipers will need to be realigned to adjust the brakes.
If you see the rotor rubbing against the brakes, you’ll also likely hear it scraping.
It may be difficult to see if the rotor is rubbing against the brakes, so listening can help you identify the problem.

1,340 | How to Adjust Idle on a Motorcycle | 1. Identifying and Accessing the Idle Screw
1-1. Check your motorcycle’s manual to find the recommended idle RPM.
The ideal idle speed for your bike is listed in your manual. Flip through your specific manual to find the ideal RPM settings, which is usually around 700-1,000 RPM. Search for a copy of your specific bike’s manual online if you don’t have the hard copy.
Some bikes have tachometers that let you monitor the RPM when the motorcycle is on. You can use the tachometer to check your idle speed before doing this to determine if it’s already within the ideal range.
For standard motorcycles that don’t have tachometers, this is less important since you’ll need to determine the RPM settings by ear and feel. When in idle, the sound of the engine should be a low buzz—it shouldn’t sound like a high-pitched throttle.
1-2. Locate the carburetor on your motorcycle by looking next to the engine.
Check the diagram of the motorcycle in your manual to determine where the carburetor is. Use this diagram as a reference to look for your carburetor. The carburetor is a large metal component with a pipe on the top and a circular port on the side. It is typically located next to or underneath the engine.
The carburetor’s location varies from bike to bike. The carburetor’s job is to combine the air and gas to make it combustible. It also regulates the idle speed through a small screw, which is appropriately named the idle screw. The idle screw controls how much gas feeds into the engine when you aren’t throttling.
1-3. Find the idle screw by looking near the base of the float bowl for a spring.
The float bowl is basically a miniature gas tank that sits on the bottom of the carburetor. Look around the float bowl for a screw connected to a 1–2 in (2.5–5.1 cm) coil. This is the idle screw. On some bikes, the coil is resting vertically against the carburetor, while on other bikes the coil sits horizontally and leads into the body of the carburetor.
This screw could be on the left or right side of the bike. If you can’t find it, try checking on the other side.
On some fuel-injected motorcycles, there is a knob sticking out the side of your bike near the engine compartment. You can just turn this knob clockwise or counterclockwise to adjust the idle speed.
1-4. Remove any trim that is blocking access to the screw if necessary.
If a piece of trim or a panel is blocking you from adjusting your idle screw, you’ll need to remove part of your bike’s body. To do this, use an Allen wrench or socket wrench to remove the bolts or screws holding the panel in place. Then, gently lift the panel off of the bike.
Some motorcycle panels and trim have clips that attach the piece to the frame of the bike. You can usually apply pressure to the sides of these clips to lift the panel out.
2. Adjusting the Idle Screw
2-1. Turn your motorcycle on and wait 2-3 minutes for the engine to level out.
Put your kickstand down and turn the motorcycle on. Wait at least 2 minutes for the engine to get hot and reach a stable temperature and speed. You can adjust the idle screw while the bike is off, but it’s better to do it when the bike is on so that the engine can adjust slowly to the change while there’s gas running through it.
If you’re doing this when it’s colder than 40 °F (4 °C) out, let the bike run for 10-15 minutes instead. Motorcycles have a cold idle setting that will restrict the idle speed until the engine gets hot.
2-2. Check your idle RPM on the tachometer if you have one.
If your bike has an RPM gauge, called a tachometer, take a look at the gauge while the bike is in idle. If the RPM is already in the acceptable idle range, you don’t need to change the idle settings with the screw. If the RPM isn’t in the acceptable range, determine whether you need to lower or raise the idle speed.
2-3. Tighten the screw clockwise to increase the idle speed.
If your idle speed is too low, use a Phillips head screwdriver to turn the idle screw clockwise. If the coil is vertical and the screw is at the bottom, you need to turn the screw counterclockwise if you’re looking at it from above. Turn the screw 1-2 times to make minor adjustments, or 3-5 times to dramatically increase the idle RPM.
On some bikes, you can adjust the screw by hand. It’s generally safer to do this with a screwdriver, though.
On newer sport bikes, there may be a knob on the side of the bike near the engine compartment. If there is, you can simply turn this knob clockwise to adjust the screw.
2-4. Loosen the screw counterclockwise to turn the idle speed down.
Turning the screw counterclockwise to decrease the idle speed and pull it back. Turn the screw 1-5 times based on how drastically you want to trim the idle speed on your bike.
2-5. Inspect the tachometer after adjusting the screw if you have a gauge.
The tachometer’s needle will reflect the changes you make to your idle screw as soon as you make them. Check the tachometer after adjusting the idle screw to see if the RPM is within your manufacturer’s recommended range. If it isn’t, make additional adjustments until the needle is in an acceptable location when the bike is idling.
2-6. Get on your bike and release the brake to see how it feels.
After you’ve adjusted the idle screw, sit on your bike and lift the kickstand up with your foot. Release the brake to let it idle for 5–10 feet (1.5–3.0 m). This will give you a sense for whether your idle speed is appropriate or not. If it feels too low or too high, make additional adjustments as needed to change the speed.
Tips
On fuel-injected bikes, don’t worry if the idle speed seems kind of high when you first start the bike. These motorcycles tend to start with a naturally-high idle speed when you first start them to get the engine hot quickly. This isn’t anything to worry about.[11]

Research source
Issues relating to idle speed on fuel-injected bikes are typically symptomatic of a larger mechanical problem or dirty throttle. Try cleaning your bike thoroughly to see if a dirty throttle body is the culprit. If this doesn’t solve the problem, you may have an issue with your vacuum leak, speed sensors, or motor and you must consult a professional mechanic.[12]

1,341 | How to Adjust Intonation on Bass | 1. Steps
1-1. Adjust your truss rod and adjust your action, if necessary, before setting the intonation of your bass.
Adjusting the truss rod and adjusting the action on your bass changes the distance between the bridge saddles and the nut. Any such change will affect the intonation of the bass.
{"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/1\/10\/Adjust-Intonation-on-Bass-Step-1Bullet1.jpg\/v4-460px-Adjust-Intonation-on-Bass-Step-1Bullet1.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/1\/10\/Adjust-Intonation-on-Bass-Step-1Bullet1.jpg\/aid1490945-v4-728px-Adjust-Intonation-on-Bass-Step-1Bullet1.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/3.0\/\">Creative Commons<\/a><br>\n<\/p><p><br \/>\n<\/p><\/div>"}
1-2. Examine the bridge of your bass to determine the tool you will need to adjust the saddle positions.
Obtain the necessary tool, which can be a small flat-blade screwdriver, small Phillips screwdriver or an allen wrench.
1-3. Plug your bass into an electronic tuner.
1-4. Tune each string on your bass.
Recheck and adjust the tuning of each string after tuning all of the strings. Changing the tension on each string will affect the tuning of the other strings.
{"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/a\/a9\/Adjust-Intonation-on-Bass-Step-4Bullet1.jpg\/v4-460px-Adjust-Intonation-on-Bass-Step-4Bullet1.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/a\/a9\/Adjust-Intonation-on-Bass-Step-4Bullet1.jpg\/aid1490945-v4-728px-Adjust-Intonation-on-Bass-Step-4Bullet1.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/3.0\/\">Creative Commons<\/a><br>\n<\/p><p><br \/>\n<\/p><\/div>"}
Continue tuning each of the strings until they are all in tune simultaneously.

1-5. Play the harmonic of the G-string at the 12th fret.
Lightly touch your finger on the string directly over the 12th fret.
{"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/5\/59\/Adjust-Intonation-on-Bass-Step-5Bullet1.jpg\/v4-460px-Adjust-Intonation-on-Bass-Step-5Bullet1.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/5\/59\/Adjust-Intonation-on-Bass-Step-5Bullet1.jpg\/aid1490945-v4-728px-Adjust-Intonation-on-Bass-Step-5Bullet1.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/3.0\/\">Creative Commons<\/a><br>\n<\/p><p><br \/>\n<\/p><\/div>"}
Verify on the tuner that the string is tuned exactly to G.
{"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/f\/f0\/Adjust-Intonation-on-Bass-Step-5Bullet2.jpg\/v4-460px-Adjust-Intonation-on-Bass-Step-5Bullet2.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/f\/f0\/Adjust-Intonation-on-Bass-Step-5Bullet2.jpg\/aid1490945-v4-728px-Adjust-Intonation-on-Bass-Step-5Bullet2.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/3.0\/\">Creative Commons<\/a><br>\n<\/p><p><br \/>\n<\/p><\/div>"}
1-6. Fret the G-string at the 12th fret and play the note.
Fret the string directly behind the fret.
{"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/0\/0b\/Adjust-Intonation-on-Bass-Step-6Bullet1.jpg\/v4-460px-Adjust-Intonation-on-Bass-Step-6Bullet1.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/0\/0b\/Adjust-Intonation-on-Bass-Step-6Bullet1.jpg\/aid1490945-v4-728px-Adjust-Intonation-on-Bass-Step-6Bullet1.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/3.0\/\">Creative Commons<\/a><br>\n<\/p><p><br \/>\n<\/p><\/div>"}
Fret the string with the same pressure that you would ordinarily use while playing. Resist the temptation to press more firmly on the string.
{"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/9\/9d\/Adjust-Intonation-on-Bass-Step-6Bullet2.jpg\/v4-460px-Adjust-Intonation-on-Bass-Step-6Bullet2.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/9\/9d\/Adjust-Intonation-on-Bass-Step-6Bullet2.jpg\/aid1490945-v4-728px-Adjust-Intonation-on-Bass-Step-6Bullet2.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/3.0\/\">Creative Commons<\/a><br>\n<\/p><p><br \/>\n<\/p><\/div>"}
Note the tuning on the electronic tuner. If this note is sharp (above the tone of the harmonic), then the string length from the nut to the bridge needs to be increased. If the fretted note is flat (below the tone of the harmonic), then the string length from the nut to the bridge needs to be decreased.
{"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/7\/76\/Adjust-Intonation-on-Bass-Step-6Bullet3.jpg\/v4-460px-Adjust-Intonation-on-Bass-Step-6Bullet3.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/7\/76\/Adjust-Intonation-on-Bass-Step-6Bullet3.jpg\/aid1490945-v4-728px-Adjust-Intonation-on-Bass-Step-6Bullet3.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/3.0\/\">Creative Commons<\/a><br>\n<\/p><p><br \/>\n<\/p><\/div>"}
1-7. Adjust the bridge saddle to correct the bass string intonation.
If the string length needs to be increased, turn the bridge saddle adjustment screw clockwise. If the string length needs to be decreased, turn the bridge saddle adjustment screw counterclockwise.
{"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/b\/bb\/Adjust-Intonation-on-Bass-Step-7Bullet1.jpg\/v4-460px-Adjust-Intonation-on-Bass-Step-7Bullet1.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/b\/bb\/Adjust-Intonation-on-Bass-Step-7Bullet1.jpg\/aid1490945-v4-728px-Adjust-Intonation-on-Bass-Step-7Bullet1.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/3.0\/\">Creative Commons<\/a><br>\n<\/p><p><br \/>\n<\/p><\/div>"}
Determine how much to change the saddle adjustment based on how far out of tune the fretted note was.
{"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/5\/5e\/Adjust-Intonation-on-Bass-Step-7Bullet2.jpg\/v4-460px-Adjust-Intonation-on-Bass-Step-7Bullet2.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/5\/5e\/Adjust-Intonation-on-Bass-Step-7Bullet2.jpg\/aid1490945-v4-728px-Adjust-Intonation-on-Bass-Step-7Bullet2.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/3.0\/\">Creative Commons<\/a><br>\n<\/p><p><br \/>\n<\/p><\/div>"}
1-8. Repeat the process.
Play the harmonic to verify that the string is still in tune after adjusting the bridge saddle location.
{"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/9\/90\/Adjust-Intonation-on-Bass-Step-8Bullet1.jpg\/v4-460px-Adjust-Intonation-on-Bass-Step-8Bullet1.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/9\/90\/Adjust-Intonation-on-Bass-Step-8Bullet1.jpg\/aid1490945-v4-728px-Adjust-Intonation-on-Bass-Step-8Bullet1.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/3.0\/\">Creative Commons<\/a><br>\n<\/p><p><br \/>\n<\/p><\/div>"}
Fret the string at the 12th fret and play the note. Observe whether this note is in tune, sharp or flat.

1,342 | How to Adjust Intonation on a Strat | 1. Steps
1-1. Make sure you understand what intonation is.
On a fretted instrument like a guitar, intonation is the instrument's ability to produce fretted notes at the correct pitch all the way up the neck. Therefore, intonation hinges on the length of the string from saddle to nut. If the string is too long or short, the guitar will play farther and farther out of tune as you move up the neck.
1-2. Change the strings on your Strat, if necessary.
Intonation should be checked every time you change a guitar's strings, so if your current strings are worn, consider changing them before adjusting the intonation. Each time you change strings, the tension in the strings may change or you may inadvertently move the bridge saddles, which will alter the intonation.
1-3. Tune the lowest guitar string to an 'E.'
With the guitar in playing position, tune the lowest string to an "E." Use a tuner for this, and take the time to get it right; precision counts when adjusting your Strat's intonation. If you regularly use a tuning other than standard E, you should tune the string to the note called for in your preferred tuning.
1-4. Sound the natural harmonic at the lowest string's 12th fret.
To play this harmonic, lightly touch the string above the 12th fret and pluck it. The note sounded will be exactly one octave above the open string's pitch, because only half of the string is vibrating now.
Note that this harmonic can never be out of tune, because it resonates based on a fundamental principle. Half of the string's length will always sound at exactly one octave above the full string's pitch.
1-5. Pluck the lowest string at the 12th fret.
After listening to the harmonic, fret the string at the 12th fret and play a note. The 2 notes should sound exactly the same. The goal is to adjust the string's length so that the 12th fret bifurcates it exactly in half. If the picked note is higher in pitch than the harmonic, you must lengthen the string. If the picked note is lower than the harmonic, you need to shorten the string.
1-6. Adjust the bridge saddle for the lowest string.
The saddle of the Strat's bridge is the rectangular metal piece on which the string rests at its highest point. To adjust it, simply use a Phillips screwdriver to tighten or loosen the screw at the back of the saddle. Tightening the screw will lengthen the string, while loosening it will shorten the string. Keep making minute adjustments until the 12th fret is exactly the same pitch as its natural harmonic.
1-7. Repeat the process for the remaining strings.
You may need to check each string's intonation a second time to make more minute adjustments, as adjusting the tension of each individual string will affect the others.
Tips
Cheaply made guitars may have permanently bad intonation due to poorly placed frets.
Bad intonation can also be caused by high action (the height of the strings above the fretboard). Higher action causes you to bend the strings more when fretting them, increasing their tension and their pitch.
Fretting a note too hard on the fretboard, especially the 12th fret, will sharpen the note slightly.

1,343 | How to Adjust Inventory in QuickBooks | 1. Steps
1-1. Select "Lists" or "Vendors."
1-2. Select "Items" under Lists or "Inventory Activities" under Vendors.
1-3. Select "Adjust Quantity/Value on Hand" in the drop-down list under either Lists or Vendors.
1-4. Enter the date that you made your physical count of your inventory.
1-5. Select an expense account (an inventory item) from the adjustment list you opened up.
This is the account you selected to track your inventory decline.
1-6. Identify the customer job and class, if applicable, from the drop-down list.
1-7. Type in the new physical count in the column named "New Qty" or enter a new value in the "Qty Difference" column and QuickBooks will calculate the adjusted quantity for you.
1-8. Check the box named "Value Adjustment" if you want to see an expanded version of the open window; however, this is not necessary to change or adjust your inventory.
1-9. Enter the new count in the "New Qty" column if using the expanded method for value adjustments.
This allows you to mark down the items as the market value decreases.
1-10. Use the "Memo" text box to write a short description or note to describe what you've done, who was involved in counting inventory or other notes, if necessary.
1-11. Click the button marked "Save & Close" or "Save & New" to record your revisions.
Tips
Tracking your inventory is also a good way to keep abreast on your sales and ensure that sales records are accurate. If you have too much or too little inventory according to sales receipts, you may be able to track the discrepancies and make the necessary adjustments. It may also help you find out whether there was any theft of your merchandise.
It is always a good idea to keep accurate inventory records and take inventory of your supplies on a regular basis, such as once each month. You are required to pay taxes on inventory each year so you always want to have not only an accurate count, but an accurate value as well. You are allowed to record the lesser of your purchase price or fair market value of your inventory items so be sure that you take advantage of this when keeping your books and doing your taxes.

1,344 | How to Adjust Kerning in InDesign | 1. Steps
1-1. Purchase Adobe InDesign if you do not already own it.
Follow the on-screen instructions for installing InDesign on your computer and restart your computer if necessary.
1-2. Familiarize yourself with InDesign's workspace and available user resources.
1-3. Open Adobe InDesign.
1-4. Open the InDesign document you want to work in by selecting File>Open from the Control panel at the top of your workspace.
If you do not have an existing InDesign document to work in, create a new document by selecting File>New>Document and specifying the settings for your new document.
1-5. Type or import text if your document does not already contain it.
Type text directly into your document by first creating a text frame with your Text tool, which is located in your Tools palette. With your Text tool still selected, click within the text frame and begin typing your text.
If your text already exists in a word processing document, select File>Place, navigate to the file you wish to import and double click the file name. A loaded cursor will appear. Move your mouse to the location where you want your text to appear and click to place the text.
If you are importing a large amount of text, you may need to thread it across multiple text frames. Do this by clicking the red plus sign in the bottom right-hand corner of your text frame, navigating to the new page or column where you want to place your text and clicking your mouse. Repeat this step until all your text is placed.
1-6. Use your Text tool to insert your cursor where you want to adjust your kerning.
If you want to adjust the kerning of a larger portion of text, highlight it using your Text tool.
1-7. Select your Character panel, which is located at the right-hand side of your workspace.
1-8. Adjust your kerning.
To use metrics kerning, select Metrics in the Character panel's Kerning menu. To use optical kerning, select Optical in the Character panel's Kerning menu. To adjust kerning manually, select a numeric value for your kerning in the Character panel's Kerning menu.
Tips
To turn off kerning, select your text, open your Character panel and select 0 in the Kerning menu.
There are several types of kerning. Metrics kerning is based on kern pairs, which is information based on the spacing of specific letter pairs. Most fonts contain kern pairs. Optical kerning adjusts the spacing between characters based on each character's shapes. Manual kerning is used to adjust the space between two letters. If you are adjusting the kerning of a large portion of text you may only use metrics or optical kerning.

1,345 | How to Adjust Kitchen Cabinet Doors | 1. Tightening Loose Cabinet Doors
1-1. Open the cabinet doors and locate the hinge screws on the inside.
The cabinet doors will have 2 vertical fixed door screws that attach each hinge to each door. There are 2 vertical adjustable cupboard screws and 2 horizontal screws on the inside of the cupboard for each hinge. The leftmost screw is the adjusting screw, and the screw on the right is the locking screw.
If your cupboard doors are loose, don’t assume you need to replace the hinges. Oftentimes, all you need to do is tighten or adjust the various screws to tighten the doors again.
1-2. Tighten the locking screw all the way if it is loose.
The horizontal screw furthest to the right on the hinges inside the cupboard is the locking screw. Use a screwdriver to screw it clockwise as far as it will go to tighten it and check if the cabinet doors are still loose.
If the door is tight at this point, then you don’t need to do anything else. If it is still loose, then proceed with tightening the rest of the screws.
1-3. Tighten the fixed door screws and adjustable cupboard screws next.
Screw all the vertical screws as tight as they will go if the cupboard door is still loose after tightening the locking screw. The only screw you will not have touched at this point is the leftmost horizontal screw on the inside of the cupboard (this screw is only used for adjusting the doors side-to-side).
After tightening all of these screws, your cabinet doors will be tight again, but they might be slightly misaligned. Proceed to make adjustments to align them properly.
2. Adjusting Misaligned Doors
2-1. Open the cabinet door and locate the screws used for aligning the door.
Cabinet door hinges have 2 vertical fixed door screws that attach the hinge to the door and 2 vertical adjustable cupboard screws that attach the hinges to the cupboard. Each hinge has a horizontal adjusting screw (closest to the front of the cupboard) and a horizontal locking screw (closest to the back of the cupboard).
You will be using all of the screws for adjustments except for the screws that hold the hinges to the doors. In other words, you will only be adjusting the screws that hold the hinges to the inside of the cupboard.
2-2. Use the horizontal adjusting screw to adjust a door side to side.
Turn the adjusting screws clockwise with a screwdriver in each set of hinges to move the door closer to the edge of the cabinet. Turn them counterclockwise to move the door further away from the edge of the cabinet.
You might have to slightly unscrew the locking screw to use the adjusting screw. Make sure to tighten it completely after you align the door.
2-3. Adjust a door up or down with the vertical adjustable cupboard screws.
Loosen both of the adjustable cupboard screws in each set of hinges until you can move the door up and down. Align the door vertically how you want it and tighten the screws again.
These screws are usually in slotted holes that make it easy to slide the door up and down to adjust it without having to remove the screws completely.
2-4. Adjust the angle of a door by turning 1 of the adjustable cupboard screws.
Use the adjusting screw on just 1 set of hinges to correct the angle of a crooked cabinet door. Turn 1 screw in 1 direction and the other in the other direction to make large adjustments.
For example, if there is more space between the cabinet door and the edge of the cabinet at the top of the door, then turn the adjusting screw in the top hinge clockwise to move the door closer to the edge of the cabinet at the top.
2-5. Close the cabinet doors to check the alignment.
The cabinet doors will be symmetrical and close properly if you made the correct adjustments. Note any misalignment that is still occurring, open the cabinet doors back up, and make adjustments with the necessary screws.
Try making 1 minor adjustment at a time to perfect the alignment of the cabinet doors.
3. Fixing Cabinet Doors That Don’t Close Properly
3-1. Close the door and look on the side where the hinges are to see if it is binding.
Binding means the cupboard door is touching the cupboard frame as it closes and is too tight. Your cabinet doors will not close properly when they are binding.
If your cabinet doors make a lot of creaking noises when you open and close them, then it could be a sign they are binding and you should check them and fix them.
3-2. Locate and loosen the locking screws with a screwdriver.
Open up the cupboard doors and locate the locking screws; which are the horizontal screws on the part of the hinges closest to the back of the cupboard. Use a screwdriver to loosen them so that you can adjust the cabinet doors.
You won’t need to adjust any other screws to fix binding cabinet doors.
3-3. Pull the door towards you and away from the cupboard frame to create a gap.
The ideal gap between a cabinet door and the frame of the cupboard is no more than 1 millimetre (0.039 in). This will allow your cabinet doors to close properly.
You won’t notice a big difference in the position of the door while you pull it towards you, but all it takes is a small adjustment to stop a cabinet door from binding against the cupboard.
3-4. Tighten the locking screws again to hold the cabinet doors in position.
Use a screwdriver to turn the locking screws clockwise. Tighten them as much as you can to secure the cabinet doors in their new position.
It may be helpful to have a helper hold each door in place for you so you can tighten the screws again without shifting the position of the cabinet doors.
3-5. Close and open the cabinet doors to see if the binding is fixed.
The doors will close flush against the frame and there will be no creaking if you have adjusted the doors correctly. Repeat the process if the doors are still not closing properly yet.
This is the final type of adjustment you can make to fix cabinet door alignment problems. When you know how to tighten loose cabinet doors, adjust poorly aligned doors, and fix binding, you will be able to get almost any kitchen cabinet door to work properly!

1,346 | How to Adjust LCD Monitor Height | 1. Steps
1-1. Position the LCD monitor directly in front of you at your workspace.
If your monitor is positioned too far to the left or right, you may eventually develop shoulder and neck pain from constantly turning your head to glance at the monitor.
If you have a job that does not require you to look consistently at the LCD monitor for hours at a time, such as a position in a retail store or bank, you can position the monitor off to one side to allow for efficient communication with customers.
1-2. Position the LCD monitor so that your eyes are level with the top of the screen.
This will prevent pain from developing in your shoulders and neck from tilting your head back if the screen is too high, or from having severe neck pain due to constantly tilting your head forward if the screen is too low.
Adjust the height of your LCD monitor so that your eyes are level with the section of your screen that is between 2 and 3 inches (5.08 and 7.62 cm) below the very top of the monitor.
If you wear bifocal or trifocal glasses, you may need to lower the height of your monitor by a few extra inches so that you can efficiently see the computer screen.
1-3. Place your monitor in a workspace that will not be affected by any glares.
If your LCD monitor reflects the light from windows or overhead lights, you may experience headaches caused by squinting your eyes or have difficulty viewing the screen, regardless of the monitor's height.
Tilt your LCD monitor forward slightly if you experience a glare from overhead lights, or move your monitor away from any windows to avoid a glare from the sun.
1-4. Adjust the LCD monitor height by following the instructions provided by the manufacturer.
The exact method for adjusting a monitor's height will vary depending on the make, model, and manufacturer of your monitor.
Consult with the manual for your LCD monitor or contact the manufacturer directly to learn how you can adjust the monitor's height. In most cases, you will either be required to toggle a lock or press a button that allows you to freely adjust the height of the monitor.
Tips
Adjust the height of your chair if you are unable to properly adjust the height of your LCD monitor.
If your LCD monitor is still too low after you have adjusted the height, place an object underneath the monitor to serve as a lift; such as a wide, thick book.

1,347 | How to Adjust Leading in InDesign | 1. Steps
1-1. Purchase Adobe InDesign if you do not already own it.
Follow the on-screen instructions for installing InDesign on your computer and restart your computer if necessary.
1-2. Familiarize yourself with InDesign's workspace and available user resources.
1-3. Open Adobe InDesign.
1-4. Open the InDesign document you want to work in by selecting File>Open from the Control panel at the top of your workspace.
If you do not have an existing InDesign document to work in, create a new document by selecting File>New>Document and specifying the settings for your new document.
1-5. Import text if your document does not already contain it.
Create a text frame with your Text tool, which is located in your Tools palette. Click within your newly created text frame, with your Text tool still created, and begin typing your text.
To import text directly from a pre-existing word processing document, select File>Place, navigate to the file you wish to import and double click the file name. A loaded cursor will appear. Move your mouse to the location where you want your text to appear and click to place the text.
If you are importing a large amount of text, you may need to thread it across multiple text frames. Do this by clicking the red plus sign in the bottom right-hand corner of your text frame, navigating to the new page or column where you want to place your text and clicking your mouse. Repeat this step until all your text is placed.
1-6. Adjust your leading by using your Text tool to highlight the text you wish to adjust and selecting your desired leading from the Leading menu, which is located on the Character panel.
The Character panel is located at the right-hand side of your workspace.
If you have applied vertical justification to your text or set it to align to the baseline grid (bottom of your text frame), InDesign may not accept your leading adjustments. If this happens, turn off vertical justification and baseline grid alignment and re-adjust your leading.
Tips
Leading is measured from the baseline of one line of text to the baseline of the previous line of text.
By default, Adobe InDesign sets leading at 120 percent of your type size. If your text is set at 10-point type, your leading will by default be 12-point.
Using InDesign you can create a paragraph style that includes font, size, leading, kerning and tracking specifications. This is useful if you have a particular group of settings you would like to apply to a large amount of text.

1,348 | How to Adjust Nat Settings on Linksys Router | 1. Steps
1-1. Go to the Linksys router's settings.
Make sure your router is connected and open your preferred Internet browser. Type in the correct address or command for your particular Linksys router. On most Linksys routers, this will be an IP address and usually 192.168.1.1, although it could also be just the word 'router' or another address. If 192.168.1.1 doesn't work, check the instructions that came with your router or the router itself, there is usually a sticker with that information and the default password for your router. For Linksys, the Linksys default username is admin, and the default password is password.
1-2. Navigate to the Port Forwarding section.
After you login, look for the phrase "Port Forwarding" on the left hand side of the screen. Click on it and scroll through the settings here. There are a few things to change here to get an open NAT setting, which is the type of NAT needed for local services such as Xbox Live to work the best. Find the box labeled UPnP and enable it. This works much the same way as Windows Plug and Play but on a network level, and allows your router to work out what it will take for a new item on your network to correctly interface with the Internet. For many users, this is enough to adjust their NAT settings to open.
Find your computers IP address. If you are using port forwarding to open up the NAT settings, you will need your computer's IP address as well as the ports that need to be opened. To find your computer's IP, go to the Windows Start Menu and type 'cmd.exe' into the run box without the quotes. When the command utility opens up, type in ipconfig. This will give you information on your computer and what it's IP address is. The vast majority of the time, your IP address when connected through the router will share the first three number groups as the router itself. For example, on a Linksys router your computer would have an IP of 192.168.1.x, with x being the unique digit.
1-3. Set your hardware in the router's DMZ.
If enabling UPnP doesn't solve your NAT issues, another option is to set your computer, gaming console, or cell phone to bypass the router's safety features. This will allow your hardware to connect directly to the Internet, but will make it vulnerable to outside sources. Usually, this is only recommended for gaming consoles. If you do this for your main computer, remember to remove the computer from the DMZ when you are done using the service that was restricted by the Linksys NAT settings.

1,349 | How to Adjust Nose Pads on Glasses | 1. Hold your frames by the bridge.
You won’t risk breaking your lenses if you support your frames.
Use your non-dominant hand to pinch the bridge of your glasses between the lenses. Do your best not to touch or put pressure on the lenses so you don’t break them. You’ll use your dominant hand to make your adjustments.
Put a glasses cleaning cloth over the lenses to prevent smudges just in case your hand brushes against them.
2. Move the pads with your fingers.
You can easily move the nose pads without tools.
If you need to fix your glasses quickly, you can make minor adjustments by hand. Put your thumb on the side of the pad that touches your nose and your pointer finger on the back side.
Be gentle when you’re adjusting your pads by hand since they’ll be easier to break.
3. Use nose pad pliers for more precise adjustment.
Pliers give you the best grip and the least risk of damage.
Nose pad pliers have a small gap so they fit perfectly around your nose pad when you grip it. Line the gap on the pliers up with where your frames connect to the nose pad and squeeze the handles together firmly.
You can get nose pad pliers in a glasses repair kit or online.
4. Push the pads apart for glasses sitting too high.
A wider space between the pads also keeps them from pinching your nose.
If your nose pads sit high up and feel tight on your nose, use your thumb or the pliers to gently move the nose pad toward the frame arm. Move one nose pad at a time when you make your adjustments.
Only make a slight adjustment at a time. Even just moving the pad a few millimeters can make a world of difference.
5. Move the pads closer together if your glasses sit too low.
A narrower gap prevents your glasses from sliding down further.
If you always have to push your glasses back up on your face because they slip off, then the nose pads are too wide. Carefully pull the nose pad toward the center of your frames and away from the lens.
Be careful not to bring the nose pads too close together, or else they could pinch your nose and be painful to wear.
6. Adjust both nose pads evenly.
Your glasses will sit crooked if the nose pads are uneven.
Hold your glasses up at eye level and check if the nose pads look symmetrical. If one looks further in or out than the other, take a second to bend them into the correct position so the pads are in the same position on each side.
7. Try on your glasses after each adjustment.
Testing how your glasses fit keeps you from overworking the nose pads.
Even after the slightest adjustment, your glasses may fit a lot better. Check how the frames look in a mirror and see if they feel more comfortable on your face. If you still feel like they’re not a perfect fit, take them off and make another small adjustment to the nose pads before trying again.
8. Set the nose pads so they sit flat on your nose.
Crooked nose pads could dig into your nose and be uncomfortable.
When you put your glasses on, check if the fronts of the nose pads are flush against your nose. If they look uneven or one end of the nose pad digs into your nose, take off your glasses and adjust them slightly to the side so they fit better.
Even if the nose pads are crooked and aren’t bothering you, you’ll start to feel more pressure on your nose the longer you wear them.
9. Replace the nose pads if they’re worn out.
New nose pads will make your glasses feel more comfortable.
Your nose pads will either screw or snap into your frames so they’re easy to replace. For screw-in pads, use a small screwdriver to loosen the screw on the back of the nose pad to remove it. Then, slide the new one into place and screw it back in. For snap-on pads, simply pry the old one out with a flathead screwdriver or butter knife, and push the new pad into the socket.
You can buy replacement nose pads in a glasses repair kit or online.
Replacing your pads with wider ones can also help if your frames sit too low on your face.
10. Bend the glasses’ arms if your glasses still slide.
Your frames may be the culprit if your nose pads fit well.
Hold the arm of your glasses just before it starts curving down to support your frames. Use your other hand to gently bend the end of the arm down if your glasses slip down or up if the arm doesn’t reach around your ear.
Avoid bending your glasses near the hinges since you could easily snap them.
11. Take your glasses to an optometrist for a professional fix.
An optometrist can make adjustments with less risk of breaking your glasses.
If your glasses still aren’t fitting perfectly and you don’t want to risk damaging them, contact an optometrist and ask if they’ll make the adjustments for you. When you go in, your optometrist will use special tools to make sure the glasses sit evenly and comfortably on your face.
Warnings
Be careful when you’re moving the nose pads repeatedly since it could weaken the metal arms holding them in place and cause them to break.

1,350 | How to Adjust Office Chair Height | 1. Raising and Lowering a Chair
1-1. Look for hand controls.
Most office chairs have levers located just below the seat, attached to the base. There might be several to control features like the seat height and angle. You can adjust the height by pulling up on the proper lever if you're already in the chair.
For some models, you will turn a knob instead of pulling on a lever.
If aren't sure which lever controls the height, you can either read the chair's instructions, or just pull the levers until you find the right one.
1-2. Raise and lower the seat until it's comfortable.
With most chairs, once you've pushed the right lever, the seat will raise and lower freely. Move it until you find the “sweet spot” that's just right for you. Do this gently, slowly moving the chair only inches (or centimeters) at a time. When you're done, move the lever back to the original position.
Some models may require you to pull up on the lever to raise the seat, but push down on it to lower it.
Pneumatic models will allow you to “pump” the lever (push it repeatedly up or down to raise or lower the seat).
1-3. Try adjusting from a standing position if you can't seem to get it right.
Stand in front of the chair, and push the proper lever. Raise or lower the seat of the chair until the tip of it is just below your knee cap. You should now be able to sit comfortably in the chair with your feet flat on the floor.
2. Choosing the Right Chair Height for Your Task
2-1. Stay eye level with the monitor when working on a computer.
Ideally, the monitor will be just below your your eye level and the keyboard at elbow level. If you can't raise or lower your monitor, you can adjust the seat height to accommodate.
2-2. Keep your elbows at desk height when working on its flat surface.
This applies when you're doing things like reading a book or something on paper, writing by hand, drawing, etc. Lower or raise your chair height until your elbows and arms can rest comfortably on the desk.
2-3. Rest your feet on the floor during extended periods of sitting.
If you have to stay put for a while, such as during a meeting, its especially important to be sitting properly. Change your chair height until your feet are flat on the floor so you don't have to sit awkwardly.
3. Increasing Safety and Comfort
3-1. Adjust the height of the armrests, if the chair has them.
If you're working at a desk for typing or similar tasks, raise the armrests until they allow you to keep your arms just about level with the desk. If you don't need the arm support, you may be able to remove the armrests, or just lower them so they aren't in your way.
Lower or remove the armrests if they prevent you from sliding your knees comfortably under your desk.
3-2. Change your sitting position every 15-30 minutes.
This helps prevent strain and other issues. If you don't need to adjust your chair height because of your work, you can still try shifting your position. For instance, lean forward briefly, then go back to a fully seated position. You could also shift your weight slightly from one side of the chair to the other.
3-3. Get a footrest if your chair is too high.
It may be that there's just no way to lower your chair so that your feet sit comfortably on the floor while keeping your arms at a comfortable working height. If that's the case, slide an office footrest underneath your desk and prop your feet on that.
Footrests can be found at office supply stores, and are usually adjustable as well.

1-2. Click on Windows.
It's in the menu bar at the top of the screen.
1-3. Click on Layers.
The "Layers" menu window will appear in the lower-right corner of the photoshop window.
1-4. Click on Layers.
It's a tab in the upper-left corner of the "Layers" menu window.
1-5. Click on a layer.
Each layer is listed with a thumbnail in the lower part of the "Layers" menu window.
1-6. Click on 🔽.
It's to the right of the percentage next to near the top of the "Layers" menu and a slider will appear below.
If the Opacity options are grayed out and you cannot click on them, you may need to first unlock the layer you have selected. If a layer is locked there will be a padlock icon to the right of the layer name. To unlock the layer, simply click the padlock icon.
1-7. Click on and hold the slider arrow.
1-8. Drag the arrow to set the opacity of the layer.
Drag the slider arrow to the left to make the layer more transparent (lower percentage) or to the right to make it more opaque (higher percentage).
If a padlock icon appears in a layer, it's locked or partially-locked. In this case, double-click on the layer, and set the opacity percentage in the dialog box that pops up.
Tips
If you do want to use trial-and-error, you can manually type a number in the box which contains the opacity %, as this will also change the opacity.
Photoshop will change the opacity on-the-fly, which means that you will be able to observe the opacity as you change the sliding scale instead of using trial-and-error.

1,352 | How to Adjust Opacity in InDesign | 1. Steps
1-1. Purchase Adobe InDesign if you do not already own it.
Follow the on-screen instructions for installing InDesign on your computer and restart your computer if necessary.
1-2. Familiarize yourself with InDesign's workspace and available user resources.
1-3. Open Adobe InDesign.
1-4. Open the InDesign document you want to work in by selecting File>Open from the Control panel at the top of your workspace.
If you do not have an existing InDesign document to work in, create a new document by selecting File>New>Document and specifying the settings for your new document.
1-5. Use your Select tool, which is located in your Tools panel, to click on the item you wish to adjust the opacity of.
If your document does not contain any items, create or import them now.
To import a photo, click File>Place from InDesign's Control panel. Navigate to the picture file you would like to import and double click the file name. Move your cursor to the location or frame where you want to place your picture and click your mouse. Adjust the size of your picture by selecting the picture using your Select tool and dragging a handle while holding the Control and Shift keys. This will adjust the picture's size proportionally. You may also enter precise values for the picture's height and width in the Height and Width fields located in the Control panel.
To create another type of object, select the Line, Ellipse, Rectangle or Polygon tool from the Tools panel. Click the location in your document where you would like your shape to appear. Click then drag your mouse to draw your desired shape. With your newly drawn object still selected, click on your Swatches panel, which is located at the right-hand side of your workspace. Select the Fill box and then click select a color for your object.
To import text, create a text frame using your Text tool, which is located in your Tools panel. With your Text tool still selected, click within the text frame and begin typing your text.

Repeat this step until all your text is placed.
1-6. Select the Apply Effects button, which is located on the Control Panel.
Select either Object, Stroke, Fill or Text depending on the item you are adjusting the opacity of.
1-7. Enter a value in the Opacity box.
You may also click and drag the slider located next to the opacity setting.
1-8. Repeat these steps for each item you wish to adjust the opacity of.
Tips
InDesign offers nine effects for adjusting transparency: drop shadow, inner shadow, outer glow, inner glow, bevel and emboss, satin, basic feather, directional feather and gradient feather. Many of these effects also adjust an item's opacity.

1,353 | How to Adjust Overall Buckles | 1. Making Quick Adjustments
1-1. Tug on the loose end of the strap to tighten your overall straps.
Feel beneath the main straps of your overalls for a small section of fabric or denim. If your straps keep slipping off your shoulders, pull on this section of denim to tighten your overalls into place.
If your overalls continue to slip after you’ve adjusted the strap, you may need to purchase a set in a smaller size, or visit a tailor.
1-2. Pull down on the buckle to give your overalls more slack.
Grip both sides of the adjustment buckle, which is the buckle located further up your overall strap. Pull and drag this buckle down, which increases the length of your straps and gives you more wiggle room.
Most overalls have 2 buckles—1 for adjustment, which sits higher up on the strap, and 1 that attaches to the button portion of your lower garment.
1-3. Remove the adjustment clip and circular buckle if your overalls are riding up.
Twist your overall strap so you can see part of the adjustment clip, which helps you change the length of your. Then, take a pair of pliers and undo this latched wire beneath the adjustment wire, along with any latched wire beneath the lower, rounded buckle. Remove both the adjustment clip and the circular buckle from your strap, then rethread the connecting buckle back into place through the circular buckle.
Oftentimes, these buckles are twisted and secured beneath the fabric strap, which helps hold the buckle mechanisms in place.
Some overalls may have an adjustment buckle instead of an adjustment clip.
1-4. Rethread the strap through the circular buckle.
Loosen the wires in the buckle and slide them through the bottom of your overall strap. Secure the latched wires back in place within the strap so it stays in place.
Some buckles may not need to be adjusted with wires—you may just have to rethread the strap through your circular buckle.
2. Threading New Buckles
2-1. Loop your overall strap through a new buckle.
Thread the strap over and under the adjustment strap, then drag the buckle along the fabric. Drag the buckle upwards so it’s at least 4 in (10 cm) above the bottom of the strap.
You can find overall strap buckles online, or in some fabric stores.
2-2. Thread the second buckle onto your strap.
Loop the end section of your overall strap over and under the bottom buckle, then thread the leftover fabric beneath the metal bar along the bottom of the buckle.
The extra metal bar helps keep your straps secure.
2-3. Fold and iron the bottom ⁄4 in (0.64 cm) of the strap in place.
Find the bottom, loose end of your overall strap. Take the raw, loose edge and fold it along the back of the strap. Set your iron to high heat and go over the folded edge to hold it in place. Repeat this process on the other strap so they both look uniform.
2-4. Stitch the folded edge in place with your needle and thread.
Sew along the bottom of the fold, then stitch across in a straight line. Take some time to sew both straps so your overalls look identical.
It may be easier if you use a sewing machine for this.
2-5. Place a dot in the top left and right corners of the overalls to mark where the buttons will go.
Look along the upper left and right corners along the front of your overalls. Draw 2 dots or other small marks along both sides of the material with permanent marker, chalk, or some other writing tool. Check to make sure that both dots are mirror images of one another so your overalls aren’t uneven once you’ve finished sewing.
If your overalls are really big, you can position the buttons a bit lower over your torso area.
2-6. Stitch the metal buttons onto the pre-marked dots.
Fold 2 long sections of thread in half and thread them into your needle. Sew the overall buttons into place along the pre-marked spot to secure them to your garment.
You can find overall buttons online, or in most fabric stores. These have at least 1 opening that helps you thread the button to the fabric.
If you’re experienced with a sewing machine, you may be able to adjust your settings and sew the button on in that way.
Using more than 1 thread makes your stitching extra sturdy. You may also want to use a thread that’s naturally strong, like a denim thread.
2-7. Put your overalls on and secure the clips around the buttons.
Loop the metal circle of the buckle around the button that you’ve sewn in place. Check that both the button and buckle are sturdy and don’t shift as you wear the overalls.
You’ll need to wear your overalls when you do this, so you can get an idea of how tight or loose your straps are.
2-8. Pull on the strap or buckle to tighten or adjust your strap length.
Tug on the leftover strap fabric to make your straps hug your shoulders. If your straps are already too tight, pull on the adjustment buckle to give yourself more slack.

1,355 | How to Adjust a Pressure Switch | 1. Turn off the breaker connected to the pump.
Shut off the power to keep yourself safe.
Working on a pressure switch that’s still connected to power is extremely dangerous. Either turn off the breaker or disconnect the power before getting started.
2. Take off the cover to the pressure switch.
Loosen the nut on the cover to remove it.
Look for the cover of the pressure switch, which is usually a small black or gray cube made of plastic. Loosen the nut with a wrench or untwist it by hand, then lift the cover straight up.
3. Check the inside of the cover for the pre-set settings.
The PSI range is usually listed on the well’s inside cover.
Most pumps come with a factory set range of PSI. Turn the cover over and look on the label inside to see what the range of your pump is.
Most well pumps have a range of 30 to 50 PSI, meaning they turn on at 30 PSI and turn off at 50 PSI.
If you have a submersible pump, it will probably be set to 40 - 60.
Some smaller jet pumps are set to 20 - 40.
These ranges are also sometimes called the “cut-in and cut-out” pressures, meaning the pump will “cut-in” (turn on) at the bottom of the range and “cut-out” (turn off) at the top of the range.
4. Adjust the PSI range with the center nut.
Raise or lower the PSI with the center nut.
Take a look at the pressure switch: you’ll notice 2 separate nuts. The larger, center nut adjusts the range of PSI, meaning where it starts and where it ends. This is usually the nut you’ll be working with to adjust the pressure of your pump.
For instance, if your pump is set to 30 - 50, you could use the center nut to raise it to 35 - 55. Or, you could lower it to 25 - 45.
Lowering the PSI range will lower the pressure, meaning your water won’t come out as forcefully. Raising the range will raise the pressure, meaning your water will come out more forcefully.
5. Adjust the highest pressure with the right nut.
The right nut only adjusts the highest pressure in the range.
This is a less commonly used part of the pressure switch, and you’ll only want to adjust this one if you have a very specific reason to do so. You can turn this nut to raise or lower the high number in your range.
For example, if your pump is set to 30 - 50, you’d use the right nut to change it to 30 - 45.
Raising the pressure of your range can damage the pump, especially if you adjust it a lot. You’d only want to do this if your range was already too low (meaning you had less than 20 PSI in your range).
6. Turn 1 full turn for a 2 to 3 PSI difference.
Use a wrench to turn the nut and adjust the PSI.
In general, 1 full turn will adjust the PSI by 2 or 3. To raise the PSI, turn the nut clockwise. To decrease the PSI, turn the nut counterclockwise.
Unfortunately, the pressure switch won’t tell you how much you’re adjusting the PSI until you turn it back on. Do your best to raise or lower the pressure accurately, but be prepared to do some adjusting.
7. Check the pressure by turning the pump back on.
See how much you raised or lowered the PSI by checking the pump.
Put the cover back on and switch the breaker to bring power back to your pump. Check the readout on your pump: the lower PSI will be when the pump turns on, and the higher PSI will be when it turns off. Turn the pump on to see where the range is and decide if you need to adjust it anymore.
When the pump turns on, that’s your new cut-in pressure. When it turns off, that’s your new cut-off pressure.
If you do need to adjust the pressure switch again, be sure to turn the breaker off before doing so.

1,356 | How to Adjust Pressure on a Respironics CPAP Machine | 1. Contacting Sleep Professionals
1-1. Do an overnight sleep study.
When you sleep overnight in a specialized sleep laboratory and get diagnosed with sleep apnea, the team of doctors will determine what the optimum average constant pressure is for you on your CPAP machine. The process by which they figure out the most appropriate air pressure is called a titration study. A titration study is done with a mask and air machine for the purposes of calibrating a CPAP machine to a level that stops your sleep apnea events.
The events are measured in a point system called an apnea hypopnea index. An index below five indicates no sleep apnea.
Mild OSA: AHI of 5-15. Involuntary sleepiness during activities that require little attention, such as watching TV or reading
Moderate OSA: AHI of 15-30. Involuntary sleepiness during activities that require some attention, such as meetings or presentations.
Severe OSA: AHI of more than 30. Involuntary sleepiness during activities that require more active attention, such as talking or driving.
Sleep clinics typically do not recommend that new CPAP users change their pressure settings until they've had their first sleep study and used the prescribed pressure settings for several weeks at minimum.
While you are in the sleep lab, the doctor or sleep specialist may also:
Measure your activity levels and movement as you sleep
Record your brain activity, eye movements, blood pressure, heart rate, and blood oxygen levels
Fine-tune the fit of your mask and the air pressure settings
1-2. Consult with your doctor.
Doctors and manufacturers recommend that the air pressure settings of your CPAP machine be personalized for you by a medical professional based upon a titration study at a sleep clinic — you should then use those recommended settings for at least a few weeks to get used to them at night. If you think those initial settings need to be adjusted, you should contact your doctor or sleep clinic to have them checked. Adjustment of the air pressure settings may be necessary when:
You gain or lose weight
You are extra tired
You have had a few alcoholic drinks
You are on prescribed sedatives
You have sinus congestion
You are using a different mask
You are at a different altitude
You have jet lag
You change stages in your sleep cycle
1-3. Ask your doctor about an auto-adjusting CPAP.
If you're considering changing your CPAP air pressure settings, the safer method is to upgrade from a constant-pressure machine to an auto-CPAP machine. These fully automated machines continually measure the air pressure needed to keep your airways open and then self-adjust on a regular basis according to your ongoing needs.
An auto-CPAP machine is likely the best long-term option, since your air pressure needs change day by day (and even hour by hour) as you sleep.
A one-time titration study within a sleep clinic cannot account for various personal changes that impact air pressure needs, such as: what sleep stage you're in, sleeping position, what you eat / drink, your body weight, and various drugs you take.
Auto-adjusting helps prevent you from swallowing air at times when your standard pressure is too high. Swallowing air can make people feel bloated and disrupt their sleep.
2. Making Adjustments Yourself
2-1. Read the operating manual.
Before you touch and manipulate the settings of your CPAP machine, make sure to read the operating manual and gain an understanding of your machine type and the available options. There are 2 main types of constant-pressure CPAP machines (data recording and non-data recording) and the methods used to adjust the pressure settings is dependent upon which type you have.
A data recording machine usually stores patient data that is viewable on the machine or from a removable "smart card" or other memory card on your computer.
A data recording machine records several variables that help determine optimum air pressure, including your Apnea/Hypopnea Index or AHI.
In contrast, a non-data recording machine records very little or no health information or variables, so you're kind of adjusting these machines by feel.
Contact the manufacturer to obtain patient and clinician manuals to get a better understanding of your machine.
2-2. Adjust a data recording CPAP machine.
Adjusting this type of Respironics CPAP machine is easier because you have data to guide you, particularly your AHI. You want to have an AHI of less than 5.0, which means that you experience less than 5 incidents of apnea or hypopnea per hour (considered normal sleep). If your AHI is already less than 5.0 (or even better, less than 3.0), then you shouldn't adjust the air pressure. If it's greater than 5.0, then read the instructions on how to increase the pressure.
Most CPAP machines have a range of adjustment from 4cmH20 (the lowest pressure) to 20cmH20 (the highest pressure).
For the Respironics CPAP machine, you need to highlight the Setup option on the display screen and then hold down the ramp and wheel buttons at the same time for a few seconds until you hear a few beeps.
After the beeps, access the Setup option and scroll down the menu to select the Auto Max and the Auto Min options. These represent the maximum and minimal pressures the machine oscillates between during the night.
Try increasing the Auto Min setting first (so it's closer to the Auto Max setting). After adjusting very slightly, leave it at that for a few weeks to adequately evaluate the improvement, or lack of sleep quality and daytime alertness.
You may have to increase both the Auto Max and Auto Min pressure settings, but use your AHI as a guide of how you're responding in the night while sleeping.
2-3. Adjust a non-data recording CPAP machine.
Adjusting a non-data recording Respironics CPAP machine is more difficult because you don't have an objective AHI to guide you to either raise or lower the air pressure. Instead, you must use the very subjective "how-do-I-feel" approach when you wake up in the morning. If you don't feel rested upon waking or if your partner informs you of your sleep apnea / snoring / gasping, then you'll likely want to increase the pressure settings.
To change the settings on a non-data recording Respironics CPAP machine, follow the instructions above on how to change them on a data recording machine.
The main difference is that you won't be able to access the Data option beforehand to see your AHI.
In the vast majority of cases, people unhappy with the settings on their CPAP machine want to increase the pressure in order to get more air.
In a minority of cases, people may want to lower the settings because the pressure is too great and creating noisy leaks from their masks, causing bloating or leading to excessive dry mouth.
2-4. Make your adjustments gradually.
Whichever type of CPAP machine you have, the key is making small adjustments and then see how your AHI number responds (a more objective measure), or how you feel in the morning after waking up (a completely subjective measure). As such, you should not change your air pressure more than 0.5 cm/H20 at any one time, on either your Auto Max or Auto Min settings. After the change, give it at least a week or so before you assess the effectiveness of the change.
Changing air pressure too much at a time can decrease the effectiveness of your therapy and potentially lead to dangerous health complications.
Always start by raising your Auto Min setting, which is often set between 5-8cm/H20, and then gauge effectiveness before changing the Auto Max setting — usually set at around 15cm/H2O.
Even if your have access to your AHI, keep a written log of how you feel each morning, afternoon and evening.
Don't make dramatic lifestyle / dietary changes that could change your optimum air pressure and confuse you while altering settings to your CPAP machine.
2-5. Change your mask instead.
Sometimes the problem isn't actually with your air pressure — it has more to do with the type of mask you're wearing. The design of some partial and full-face breathing mask don't allow the air to flow through them (especially through the nose piece) as well as others. In essence, some masks create more resistance than others do.
Before changing your pressure settings on your Respironics CPAP machine, ask your doctor or sleep clinician to try a different type of mask.
Switching to a more comfortable mask may necessitate raising or lowering your pressure settings depending on it's design.
For many people, having an Auto Min setting greater than 10cm/H20 starts to cause uncomfortable side effects such as bloating, belching and dry mouth.
2-6. Investigate the legality of changing the settings.
It appears that changing your CPAP settings requires a prescription from your doctor because the machines are classified as Class II Medical Devices. As such, changing the settings requires a physician's oversight either directly (in person) or indirectly (faxed prescription). This gives you two options: going to your doctor's office with your machine, or calling the physician and getting them to fax the prescription (changed settings) to the medical equipment company.
If it's a hassle or too great of an expense to see your physician, call and talk to their secretary or nurse and explain that you want to change the settings and need a faxed prescription.
Alternatively, call the medical equipment company and ask them to contact the doctor's office on your behalf.
Without proper medical training and licensing, changing the settings on a CPAP device can get you into legal trouble, so make sure you know the law in your area.
Tips

"回答明细": "{\"回答\": \"1. Contacting Sleep Professionals\\n1-1. Do an overnight sleep study.\\nWhen you sleep overnight in a specialized sleep laboratory and get diagnosed with sleep apnea, the team of doctors will determine what the optimum average constant pressure is for you on your CPAP machine. The process by which they figure out the most appropriate air pressure is called a titration study. A titration study is done with a mask and air machine for the purposes of calibrating a CPAP machine to a level that stops your sleep apnea events.\\nThe events are measured in a point system called an apnea hypopnea index. An index below five indicates no sleep apnea.\\nMild OSA: AHI of 5-15. Involuntary sleepiness during activities that require little attention, such as watching TV or reading\\nModerate OSA: AHI of 15-30. Involuntary sleepiness during activities that require some attention, such as meetings or presentations.\\nSevere OSA: AHI of more than 30. Involuntary sleepiness during activities that require more active attention, such as talking or driving.\\n\\nSleep clinics typically do not recommend that new CPAP users change their pressure settings until they've had their first sleep study and used the prescribed pressure settings for several weeks at minimum.\\nWhile you are in the sleep lab, the doctor or sleep specialist may also:\\nMeasure your activity levels and movement as you sleep\\nRecord your brain activity, eye movements, blood pressure, heart rate, and blood oxygen levels\\nFine-tune the fit of your mask and the air pressure settings\\n1-2. Consult with your doctor.\\nDoctors and manufacturers recommend that the air pressure settings of your CPAP machine be personalized for you by a medical professional based upon a titration study at a sleep clinic — you should then use those recommended settings for at least a few weeks to get used to them at night. If you think those initial settings need to be adjusted, you should contact your doctor or sleep clinic to have them checked. Adjustment of the air pressure settings may be necessary when:\\nYou gain or lose weight\\nYou are extra tired\\nYou have had a few alcoholic drinks\\nYou are on prescribed sedatives\\nYou have sinus congestion\\nYou are using a different mask\\nYou are at a different altitude\\nYou have jet lag\\nYou change stages in your sleep cycle\\n1-3. Ask your doctor about an auto-adjusting CPAP.\\nIf you're considering changing your CPAP air pressure settings, the safer method is to upgrade from a constant-pressure machine to an auto-CPAP machine. These fully automated machines continually measure the air pressure needed to keep your airways open and then self-adjust on a regular basis according to your ongoing needs.\\nAn auto-CPAP machine is likely the best long-term option, since your air pressure needs change day by day (and even hour by hour) as you sleep.\\nA one-time titration study within a sleep clinic cannot account for various personal changes that impact air pressure needs, such as: what sleep stage you're in, sleeping position, what you eat / drink, your body weight, and various drugs you take.\\nAuto-adjusting helps prevent you from swallowing air at times when your standard pressure is too high. Swallowing air can make people feel bloated and disrupt their sleep.\\n2. Making Adjustments Yourself\\n2-1. Read the operating manual.\\nBefore you touch and manipulate the settings of your CPAP machine, make sure to read the operating manual and gain an understanding of your machine type and the available options. There are 2 main types of constant-pressure CPAP machines (data recording and non-data recording) and the methods used to adjust the pressure settings is dependent upon which type you have.\\nA data recording machine usually stores patient data that is viewable on the machine or from a removable \\\"smart card\\\" or other memory card on your computer.\\nA data recording machine records several variables that help determine optimum air pressure, including your Apnea/Hypopnea Index or AHI.\\nIn contrast, a non-data recording machine records very little or no health information or variables, so you're kind of adjusting these machines by feel.\\nContact the manufacturer to obtain patient and clinician manuals to get a better understanding of your machine.\\n2-2. Adjust a data recording CPAP machine.\\nAdjusting this type of Respironics CPAP machine is easier because you have data to guide you, particularly your AHI. You want to have an AHI of less than 5.0, which means that you experience less than 5 incidents of apnea or hypopnea per hour (considered normal sleep). If your AHI is already less than 5.0 (or even better, less than 3.0), then you shouldn't adjust the air pressure. If it's greater than 5.0, then read the instructions on how to increase the pressure.\\nMost CPAP machines have a range of adjustment from 4cmH20 (the lowest pressure) to 20cmH20 (the highest pressure).\\nFor the Respironics CPAP machine, you need to highlight the Setup option on the display screen and then hold down the ramp and wheel buttons at the same time for a few seconds until you hear a few beeps.\\nAfter the beeps, access the Setup option and scroll down the menu to select the Auto Max and the Auto Min options. These represent the maximum and minimal pressures the machine oscillates between during the night.\\nTry increasing the Auto Min setting first (so it's closer to the Auto Max setting). After adjusting very slightly, leave it at that for a few weeks to adequately evaluate the improvement, or lack of sleep quality and daytime alertness.\\nYou may have to increase both the Auto Max and Auto Min pressure settings, but use your AHI as a guide of how you're responding in the night while sleeping.\\n2-3. Adjust a non-data recording CPAP machine.\\nAdjusting a non-data recording Respironics CPAP machine is more difficult because you don't have an objective AHI to guide you to either raise or lower the air pressure. Instead, you must use the very subjective \\\"how-do-I-feel\\\" approach when you wake up in the morning. If you don't feel rested upon waking or if your partner informs you of your sleep apnea / snoring / gasping, then you'll likely want to increase the pressure settings.\\nTo change the settings on a non-data recording Respironics CPAP machine, follow the instructions above on how to change them on a data recording machine.\\nThe main difference is that you won't be able to access the Data option beforehand to see your AHI.\\nIn the vast majority of cases, people unhappy with the settings on their CPAP machine want to increase the pressure in order to get more air.\\nIn a minority of cases, people may want to lower the settings because the pressure is too great and creating noisy leaks from their masks, causing bloating or leading to excessive dry mouth.\\n2-4. Make your adjustments gradually.\\nWhichever type of CPAP machine you have, the key is making small adjustments and then see how your AHI number responds (a more objective measure), or how you feel in the morning after waking up (a completely subjective measure). As such, you should not change your air pressure more than 0.5 cm/H20 at any one time, on either your Auto Max or Auto Min settings. After the change, give it at least a week or so before you assess the effectiveness of the change.\\nChanging air pressure too much at a time can decrease the effectiveness of your therapy and potentially lead to dangerous health complications.\\nAlways start by raising your Auto Min setting, which is often set between 5-8cm/H20, and then gauge effectiveness before changing the Auto Max setting — usually set at around 15cm/H2O.\\nEven if your have access to your AHI, keep a written log of how you feel each morning, afternoon and evening.\\nDon't make dramatic lifestyle / dietary changes that could change your optimum air pressure and confuse you while altering settings to your CPAP machine.\\n2-5. Change your mask instead.\\nSometimes the problem isn't actually with your air pressure — it has more to do with the type of mask you're wearing. The design of some partial and full-face breathing mask don't allow the air to flow through them (especially through the nose piece) as well as others. In essence, some masks create more resistance than others do.\\nBefore changing your pressure settings on your Respironics CPAP machine, ask your doctor or sleep clinician to try a different type of mask.\\nSwitching to a more comfortable mask may necessitate raising or lowering your pressure settings depending on it's design.\\nFor many people, having an Auto Min setting greater than 10cm/H20 starts to cause uncomfortable side effects such as bloating, belching and dry mouth.\\n2-6. Investigate the legality of changing the settings.\\nIt appears that changing your CPAP settings requires a prescription from your doctor because the machines are classified as Class II Medical Devices. As such, changing the settings requires a physician's oversight either directly (in person) or indirectly (faxed prescription). This gives you two options: going to your doctor's office with your machine, or calling the physician and getting them to fax the prescription (changed settings) to the medical equipment company.\\nIf it's a hassle or too great of an expense to see your physician, call and talk to their secretary or nurse and explain that you want to change the settings and need a faxed prescription.\\nAlternatively, call the medical equipment company and ask them to contact the doctor's office on your behalf.\\nWithout proper medical training and licensing, changing the settings on a CPAP device can get you into legal trouble, so make sure you know the law in your area.\\nTips\\nThe symptoms of sleep apnea include: loud snoring, gasping for breath, abrupt awakenings, dry mouth, sore throat, headaches, insomnia, daytime sleepiness, irritability, difficulty concentrating.[15]\\nX\\nTrustworthy Source\\nMayo Clinic\\nEducational website from one of the world's leading hospitals\\nGo to source\\nAn AHI less than 5 per hour = No Sleep Apnea.\\nAn AHI from 5 to less than 15 per hour = Mild Sleep Apnea\\n\", \"简要回答\": \"Sleep apnea is a sleep disorder characterized by not breathing continuously while sleeping, but rather breathing irregularly in starts and stops.

1,357 | How to Adjust Punching Bag Height | 1. Taking the Proper Measurements
1-1. Remove your punching bag from its hook.
Set up a stepladder directly beneath the punching bag in your home. Grab the punching bag and support it on one of the ladder’s steps. Disconnect any clips or carabiners attached to the straps on the top of your bag, then carefully shift and lower the bag to the ground.
You may want to ask a friend or family member to spot you as you do this, since these bags are at least 70 lb (32 kg).
The carabiner will still be attached to your mounting hook, but it won’t be attached to your punching bag.
Some punching bags come with a speed bag, which can be hung up and adjusted separately.
1-2. Measure the height of your punching bag.
Position your bag so it’s upright, or prop it up straight against the wall. Hook a measuring tape beneath the bottom of the bag and extend it to the end of the hanging straps. Jot down the measurement or commit it memory for later.
Some punching bags are 5 ft (1.5 m) long, while some might be longer.
1-3. Find the center point of your bag where you’ll land your jabs.
Divide your bag’s height measurement in half to get an idea of where the center point is. Note that the center point is where you’ll land the majority of your jabs as you punch the bag during your training.
For instance, if your bag is 5 ft (1.5 m) long, the center point will be at the 30 in (76 cm) mark.
Remember or write down each measurement, as you’ll need them to figure out the exact placement of your punching bag.
Some boxers prefer to hit about three-quarters of the way up the bag, rather than halfway down. If you prefer that, just adjust the height so that's the part of the bag at your eye level, rather than the center of the bag.
1-4. Look beneath the center point to find where your body shots will go.
Pretend that your punching bag represents another person or fighter. To land your regular jabs, hit around the center point of the bag. To make body shots, hit the bottom third of the bag.
Some bags have a taped-off section that creates a large rectangle on the front of the physical bag. Your body shots will go in the lower third of the area, while your jabs will go above the halfway point.
1-5. Transfer your measurements to a broomstick with a marker.
Lay a broomstick, dowel, or other long object on the floor. Take your measuring tape and stretch it alongside the stick. Mark off the total height of your punching bag, along with the center point.
Permanent marker works well for this.
If possible, find a broomstick or other object that’s very similar or identical in length to your punching bag.
2. Installing the Punching Bag Safely
2-1. Line up the broomstick alongside your hanging chain.
Stand beneath the wall-mounted hook and carabiner that keep your punching bag suspended in midair. Hold the end of your broomstick or other long object directly next to the carabiner chain so you can get an idea of how your punching bag will look in mid-air.
2-2. Move the broomstick up or down until the center point is at eye level.
Find the mark you left in the center of the broomstick. If the mark lines up with your eye- or nose-level, then you’ve found the perfect height for your punching bag! If the mark is too high or too low, adjust the broomstick accordingly so the mark meets your eye level.
If your bag isn’t the right height, then you won’t get very accurate or effective training with the punching bag.
2-3. Tie a sturdy cord between your mounted hook and carabiner.
Climb up on a ladder and double check the chain or carabiner that’s attached to the mounted hook. Remove the carabiner or chain from the hook and knot a secure section of 6 to 10 mm (0.24 to 0.39 in) rope to both ends of your setup. Double-check that the knots are secure, and that both the hook and carabiner will still support the punching bag.
If you have a metal hook attached to a metal carabiner, the metal pieces will wear against one another and eventually break completely, which can lead to a pretty serious accident.
2-4. Adjust the carabiner until the punching bag is at the correct height.
Look for a chain link in your carabiner that matches the proper height of your broomstick, or punching bag. Adjust the carabiner to ensure that the center of your bag will be at eye- or nose-level.
2-5. Knot a cord between the bag loops and carabiner to prevent breakage.
Take another section of sturdy cord, like a paracord, and tie 1 end to your bag loops and the other to your carabiner. Knot the cord or tie securely so the bag is dangling safely from the carabiner. You can also tweak the length of your cord to make the punching bag slightly taller or shorter, depending on your personal preference.
For instance, you can tie the cord so there’s a bit of slack between the carabiner and the bag loops, which will make your punching bag seem slightly longer.
It may take multiple people to lift and hang up the punching bag again.
Over time, the metal carabiner and the metal loops of the punching bag will scrape against one another and break apart, which can cause a potentially dangerous accident.
Warnings
Ask a friend or family member to help you as you remove and reinstall the punching bag.

1,358 | How to Adjust Rainbird Sprinklers | 1. Changing the Watering Direction and Distance
1-1. Set the fixed left edge on the sprinkler head.
Before you adjust the watering direction or distance, you will need to set the starting point for the water rotation. Find the center cap on the rotor case. Move it all the way to the right until it stops and you can no longer turn it. Then, move it to the left until it stops. Rotate the entire rotor case to line up the left edge in the correct position.
Do not rotate the rotor case past the left edge, as this can damage the case.
The instructions to set the fix left edge will work for the Rain Bird 2SA, 42SA, 42SA+, 52SA Series.
1-2. Move the sprinkler head by hand to adjust the watering direction.
Grip the spray head between two fingers. Then, rotate it by hand so it is aimed at the direction you want the water to spray.
For example, if you want the water to spray towards the right, rotate the head to the right. If you want the water to spray more to the left, rotate the head to the left.
1-3. Adjust the spray distance using a flat-bladed screwdriver.
You can have the water on or off when you adjust the spray distance, though it may be easier with the water off. Take a flat-bladed screwdriver and place it on the center screw on the head. Then, turn the screw clockwise to decrease the spray distance up to 25 percent.
Be careful not to turn the screw so far that it goes into the head. It should sit just in front of the nozzle so the head is secure.
The spray distance on Rain Bird models is 19 to 32 feet (5.8 to 9.8 m). If you want the distance to be any higher or shorter, you will need to change the rotor nozzles or adjust the water pressure.
2. Adjusting the Spray Pattern
2-1. Twist the collar to the left or right if you have an adjustable sprinkler head.
If you have a Rain Bird sprinkler model that has an adjustable head (the 18/15/12 AP series), you can use your fingers to twist the collar. It can be adjusted from 0-360 degrees. To increase the spray pattern, move the threaded collar to the left. To decrease the spray pattern, move the threaded collar to the right.
Adjust the spray pattern while the sprinkler is on so you can determine how much of an increase or decrease you want.
Adjusting the spray pattern is useful if you want to water a certain area of your lawn or spray only to a certain point in your yard.
2-2. Find the adjustable tab if you have the Rain Bird 2SA, 42SA, 42SA+, or 52SA Series.
These models have an adjustable tab for the spray pattern on the top of the head. The tab will have a plus and minus symbol.
There will also be a screw in the center of the plus and minus symbol.
2-3. Adjust the arc adjustable tab with a screwdriver.
Take a flat-headed screwdriver. Place it on the screw on the top of the head. Then, twist the screw towards the plus symbol, or clockwise, to increase the spray pattern. To decrease the spray pattern, twist the screw towards the minus symbol, or counterclockwise.
3. Changing the Sprinkler Nozzle
3-1. Shut off the sprinkler.
Make sure the sprinkler is not hooked up to running water. This will make changing the sprinkler nozzle easier.
You may want to change the sprinkler nozzle if it stops working properly.
You can also remove the nozzle and check the filter screen if the water dribbles or does not spray properly. You can then clean it or change it.
3-2. Twist off the nozzle with pliers.
Use pliers to grip the nozzle. Then, turn the nozzle to the left, or counterclockwise, to unscrew the nozzle from the sprinkler head.
3-3. Take out the filter screen below the nozzle.
Look into the sprinkler head. You should see a small filter screen in the head, below where the nozzle sits. Use your fingers or small pliers to carefully remove the filter screen.
3-4. Clean or replace the filter screen, depending on its condition.
Look for any dirt, debris, or buildup on the filter screen. You may opt to rinse off the debris with water to clean the filter screen and reuse it if it is still in good condition.
If the filter screen is old or in rough shape, replace it with a new one.
You can buy filter screens for the Rain Bird sprinkler at your local hardware store or online. You can use a standard sprinkler filter screen for all Rain Bird sprinkler models.
3-5. Place the filter screen in the sprinkler head.
Once you have cleaned or replaced the filter screen, put it in the sprinkler head.
3-6. Put the new nozzle on.
Use pliers to place the new nozzle on the sprinkler head. Then, turn it to the right, or clockwise, until it is secure.
You can buy a new nozzle online or at your local hardware store. Look for the Rain Bird nozzle that matches the Rain Bird sprinkler model you own.

1,361 | How to Adjust Seating to the Proper Position While Driving | 1. Using Your Seat Controls
1-1. Slide your seat until your knees are slightly bent when you're pressing the gas.
Move your seat forward if your legs are completely extended when you press the gas pedal. Move your seat back if your legs are bent too much. Keeping your knees slightly bent while you drive will prevent knee pain.
1-2. Sit so there's a gap 2 fingers wide between the back of your knee and the seat.
Place 2 fingers between the edge of your seat and the back of your knee. If you can't fit both fingers in the gap, slide your seat back until you're able to.
1-3. Raise your seat up until your hips are level with your knees.
Raise the seat higher if you can’t see clearly out the windshield or windows. Don’t drive with your hips lower than your knees.
If your car doesn’t have a control to adjust the seat height, sit on a cushion to help keep your hips level with your knees. Make sure you’re not elevated too much or you’ll have to bend down to look out the windshield or windows.
1-4. Adjust the backrest so it’s reclined at about a 100 degree angle.
Sitting reclined at this angle will decrease pressure on your lower back so you’re more comfortable. If your shoulders lift from the backrest when you turn the steering wheel, your seat is reclined too much. Move the backrest up more if you are hunched forward when driving. When the backrest is in the proper position, you should easily be able to reach the wheel, and your elbows should be slightly bent.
1-5. Move the headrest so the back of your head is centered in the middle.
If your head is above the headrest when you’re sitting in your seat, move the headrest up. If the back of your head is exposed below the headrest, move the headrest down. Ideally, the top of your head should be level with the top of the headrest.
1-6. Adjust the lumbar support so it fits in the curve of your lower back.
The lumbar support is the raised portion of the lower backrest. First, adjust the height of the lumbar support so the bottom edge is level with your waistline. Then adjust the depth of the support so it completely fills in the curve of your lower back.
If your seat doesn’t have lumbar support, roll up a towel and put it in the curve of your back while you’re driving.
You can also buy an attachable foam support to use in place of lumbar support if your seat doesn’t have it.
2. Sitting in Your Seat Properly
2-1. Sit with your body all the way back in your seat.
Your back should be pressed against the backrest, and your bottom should be as far back in your seat as possible. Avoid driving with your body scorched forward; if you can’t reach the pedals or steering wheel, adjust your seat, not your body.
2-2. Hold the steering wheel at a “9 and 3” position.
Imagine the steering wheel is the face of a clock. Place your left hand where 9 o’clock would be on the clock. Place your right hand where 3 o’clock would be on the clock. Maintaining this grip will give you the most control over the wheel.
Always drive with both hands on the wheel. Driving with one hand twists your spine, which can lead to back pain.
2-3. Keep your left foot on the footrest when you’re not using it.
If you’re driving a manual car, only move your left foot when you’re using the clutch. If you’re driving an automatic, you should never move your left foot from the footrest. Keeping your left foot flat on the footrest will help support your back and pelvis while you’re driving.
2-4. Wear your seat belt so the strap goes across your pelvis.
Don’t wear the strap that stretches across your lap over your stomach. In case of an accident, you want the strap to catch onto your pelvic bone, not your stomach.

1,362 | How to Adjust Self‐Closing Door Hinges | 1. Changing Tension with a Hex Wrench
1-1. Close the door completely.
Stand on the side of the door with the hinges and shut the door until it latches. If possible, lock the door to ensure that no one opens it while you’re working, or else they could break the hinges. If you can’t lock the door, then tell other people in your home not to use the door while you’re making your adjustments.
Avoid working on your hinges while the door is open since they will have tension and could get damaged.
1-2. Unscrew the locking screws from the top hinge.
Check the top of the hinge to see if it has a screw, which protects the spring from being tampered with. If it does, insert a screwdriver and rotate it counterclockwise to loosen it. Set the screw aside in a place where you won’t lose it.
If your hinge doesn’t have a locking screw, then you can skip this step.
1-3. Insert a hex wrench into the hole where you removed the screw.
Push the short end of a hex wrench into the top of the hinge. If the wrench feels loose inside the hole, rotate it until it fits into the hex-shaped hole and clicks into place. Keep the long end of the wrench pointed at a 45-degree angle to the door so you have a full range of motion to make your adjustments.
You can buy hex wrench sets from your local hardware store.
If you bought the hinges, they may have come with a hex wrench.
1-4. Turn the wrench clockwise if you want the door to close faster.
Press the wrench down firmly to engage the locking mechanism inside the hinge. Rotate the wrench a quarter turn clockwise until you hear it click into the new position. Only adjust the hinge by 1 position at a time so you don’t overtighten or break the hinge.
If the hinge doesn’t rotate any further clockwise, then you already have the hinge as tight as possible.
1-5. Rotate the wrench counterclockwise if the door slams closed.
Push down on the wrench so the locking mechanism in the hinge rotates freely. Move the long arm of the wrench counterclockwise until you hear it click into the next position, which is usually a quarter turn. Lift the wrench up to secure the locking mechanism.
If the long arm of the wrench bumps into the door or jamb when you turn it, pull the wrench out of the hole and reposition it.
1-6. Adjust the bottom hinge to the same tension as the one on top.
Remove the locking screw from the bottom hinge and insert the hex wrench in the hole. If you tightened the top hinge, turn the bottom hinge clockwise by the same amount. Otherwise, turn the wrench counterclockwise to relieve tension from the hinge.
If the door has 3 hinges, usually the ones on top and bottom are the only ones you need to adjust.
1-7. Open the door to test if it closes without slamming.
Pull the door open as far as possible and let go of it. Pay attention to how fast the door closes and if it latches shut. If it closes quickly and slams shut, loosen the tension in the hinges until it closes quietly. If the door doesn’t close far enough to latch, then tighten the hinge by 1 more position.
Only test the door after adjusting both hinges since you could damage or break them otherwise.
1-8. Reinstall the locking screws on the hinges.
Place the screws back inside the holes on top of the hinges. Turn them clockwise with a screwdriver until the heads are flush with the hinges.
If you don’t replace the locking screws, dust or debris can get into the hinges and make them work less efficiently.
2. Repositioning the Locking Pins
2-1. Shut the door so you don’t damage the hinges.
Close the door completely so it’s latched closed. If you can, lock the door so no one’s able to open it while you’re working. Otherwise, let other people know that you’re adjusting the hinges so they shouldn’t use the door.
Don’t make any adjustments to the hinges if you haven’t already attached them to the door and frame.
Leaving the door open while you’re making adjustments could damage the hinges.
2-2. Insert a tension rod in the rightmost hole in the top hinge’s adjustment slot.
Use the small metal tension rod that came with your hinges when you purchased them. Look on the side of the hinge near the top for a horizontal adjustment slot that has a line of holes inside. Find the hole that’s furthest to the right in the adjustment slot. Push the rod into the hole far enough so it stays in place.
If you don’t have a tension rod, you may be able to use a hex wrench with a diameter smaller than the hole instead.
2-3. Move the rod clockwise to loosen the tension pin.
Push the rod clockwise around the hinge until it touches the left side of the adjustment slot. As you turn the rod, locate the metal tension pin inside of a hole on the right side of the adjustment slot. Keep holding the rod against the left side so it doesn’t move or shift around.
Don’t let go of the tension rod, or else it will snap back to the right side of the adjustment slot and may damage the hinge.
2-4. Remove the tension pin next to the door with needlenose pliers.
Hold the tension rod against the left side of the slot with your nondominant hand. Grip the end of the tension pin with needlenose pliers and pull it straight out from the hinge. Maintain your grip on the pin since you’ll be putting it back in a different hole right away.
Taking the tension pins out of the hinges will completely disengage them if you don’t want the door to close automatically.
2-5. Insert the pin in the next hole on the right to make the door close faster.
While still holding the tension rod against the left side, locate the new hole that’s furthest to the right. Guide the pin into the hole and push it in as far as it can go. Slowly turn the tension rod counterclockwise until the pin presses against the right side of the slot.
Only adjust the hinge by 1 hole at a time so you don’t overtighten the hinge.
2-6. Place the pin in the hole left of the original position so the door shuts slower.
Keep holding the tension rod against the left side of the slot. Find the hole that’s just left of where the pin was originally located. Slide the pin into the hole as far as possible before turning the tension rod counterclockwise to secure it in place.
You may need to reposition the tension rod 1 hole to the left in order to install the pin.
2-7. Change the position of the bottom hinge's pin so it’s the same as the top.
Put the tension rod in the rightmost hole on the bottom hinge and turn it clockwise so it presses against the left side. Remove the pin with your pliers before sliding it in the hole to the left or right depending on if you loosened or tightened the tension respectively.
The middle hinge is usually a standard one, so you don’t have to adjust it.
2-8. Open the door to test if it closes completely without slamming.
Pull the door open as far as possible and let go of it so it starts to close. If the door doesn’t latch shut on its own, then move the pins 1 more hole to the right to add more tension. If the door closes too quickly or slams shut, then move the pins 1 hole to the left to loosen the hinges.
Warnings
Avoid working on the hinges while the door is open since you could damage the springs inside them.
Always adjust both of the hinges at the same time, or else you could wear out or break the hinges.
Do not place locking pins further than the 4th hole in the adjustment slot since it will cause the door to slam quickly and could wear out the hinges faster.[15]

1,363 | How to Adjust Sewing Machine Timing | 1. Diagnosing the Problem
1-1. Check for other potential problems.
Check other factors that may masquerade as a timing problem first; there's no sense in taking your machine apart if you don't need to!
Be sure that your needle is not bent or broken and that it is inserted completely and screwed down tightly.
Check that your bobbins are installed correctly. If they're upside-down or backward, your machine might not work correctly.
Check that your needle, thread weight, and fabric are compatible. A heavier fabric requires a larger needle and thicker thread.
1-2. Check for a timing issue by performing a timing test.
By testing the alignment of the needle and the shuttle hook, you can determine whether your machine needs a timing adjustment.
Leave the needle threaded, but remove the switchplate, base cover(s), and bobbin case.
Turn the hand wheel slowly to ensure that the shuttle hook is smoothly catching the thread. If it does not, you may need to adjust the timing.
Use a ruler to measure the timing settings. Use the hand wheel to put the needle in the lowest position, then raise it 3/32 of an inch. The shuttle hook should meet the needle just above the eye while it is in this position. If it does not, you may need to adjust the timing.
1-3. Prepare the machine for work.
If you have determined that you need to adjust the timing, be sure you are ready to work on your machine.
You may need move the stitch position to a straight stitch, ensuring that the needle descends through the center of the switchplate hole, or you may need to move your needle to the widest zigzag position. Check with your manufacturer’s guidelines.
If you haven’t already, remove the needlebar cover, the switchplate, the bobbin, and the cover from the base of the machine.
Gather any tools you may need, such as a small screwdriver, sewing machine oil, and a bright work light.
2. Adjusting the Timing
2-1. Set the needlebar height.
Most machines have marks on them that indicate the appropriate height for the needlebar. Consult your manual for specifics on how to access and loosen your needle bar.
If timing marks are present, loosen the needlebar and slide it up or down to align the top timing mark just below the bottom of the timing bar bushing.
If timing marks are not present, lower the needle completely with the hand wheel, then raise it 3/32 of an inch (2.4mm). Adjust the needle’s height so that the needle eye is 3/32 of an inch below the point of the hook.
2-2. Set the hook timing.
Adjusting the hook timing varies between manufacturers and models. The general approach, however, is to adjust the distance between the hook and the needle.
Using the handwheel, lower the needlebar to its lowest position.
Loosen the gears in the base of the machine.
Make adjustments until the hook and needle are an appropriate distance apart, anywhere from 0.04mm to 0.1mm or 0.01-0.16, depending upon the machine.
2-3. Re-Check for timing accuracy.
By re-testing the alignment of the needle and the shuttle hook, you can determine whether your adjustments have improved the machine’s settings.
If you removed the thread from the needle, re-thread it. Continue to work with the bobbin area exposed.
Turn the hand wheel slowly to ensure that the shuttle hook is smoothly catching the thread. If the hook catches the thread every time, your timing has been fixed.
3. Reassembling and Testing the Machine
3-1. Re-assemble your machine.
Carefully tighten all screws securely, and be sure there are no “leftover” parts that have not been replaced.
3-2. Clean and oil any exposed gears while your covers are still off.
Remove any lint or debris from gears and feed dogs.
Consult your manual to find the specific areas that require oiling.
Only use sewing machine-specific oil on your sewing machine.
3-3. Replace the covers and switchplate.
3-4. Test your adjustments.
Re-thread your machine and sew a test piece of material.
The stitches should be even, with no skipped stitches or broken needles.
If the problem has not been resolved, you may need to make further adjustments or consult a sewing machine repair person.
Warnings
Always unplug your machine before performing any maintenance or repair work.
Be sure to check the warranty information and user manual for your specific sewing machine before making adjustments.

1,364 | How to Adjust Shutter Speed | 1. Selecting a Shutter Speed
1-1. Use a fast shutter speed in bright shooting conditions.
It’s important to adjust the shutter speed to accommodate the light you’re shooting in. Use a shutter speed faster than 1/250 of a second (e.g., 1/500 or 1/1,000) if you’re shooting in bright, natural light. This will adequately expose the image without overwhelming the image sensor with light. A longer exposure time will overexpose the photograph and leave it washed out.
Shutter speeds are indicated as fractions of a second. For example, your shutter speed could be 1/125, 1/600, or 1/200. Some cameras will leave out the numerator, and just give the bottom half of the fraction. In this case, you’d be dealing with shutter speeds of 125, 600, or 200.
The phrase “exposure time” just refers to the amount of time that the shutter is open. It’s open for a longer period of time for a longer exposure and less time for a shorter exposure.
1-2. Opt for a longer shutter speed in dim shooting conditions.
If you’re shooting indoors or in the evening, use a longer shutter speed. Even if you’re shooting indoors during daylight hours, try a shutter speed of 1/30 of a second or longer (e.g., 1/20 or 1/10 of a second). A longer speed will ensure that enough light to properly expose the photograph hits the image sensor.
Anytime you adjust your camera’s shutter speed, use the built-in light sensor to see if you’ll be exposing the image sensor to enough light.
1-3. Choose shutter speeds longer than one second in low-light situations.
Photographers very rarely use extremely slow speeds like one, two, or thirty seconds. Only use these speeds if you’re shooting in very low light. For example, if you’re shooting photos of the moon at night, you might need to leave the shutter open for 10–30 seconds.
Anytime you have the shutter open for longer than 1/30 of a second, you are going to see some camera shake in the image, since people’s hands cannot hold a camera perfectly still. So, set the camera up on a tripod if you’re using a slow shutter speed.
1-4. Select a shutter speed faster than 1/500 for motion capture.
If you’re capturing a group of people jumping up in the air or taking photos of your friend skateboarding, choose a fast shutter speed to freeze the motion in a still image. This will give the photograph a crisp appearance and capture the exact position of the photo’s subject in the moment that you snapped the picture. If you find that 1/500 is a little too slow, try using 1/1,000 or 1/2,000.
When shooting with a fast shutter speed, you typically don’t need to use a tripod. Although everybody’s hands have a very slight natural shake when holding a camera, the shutter won’t be open for long enough to register this slight shaking.
1-5. Try a shutter speed longer than 1/250 to give your photo an artistic blur.
If you’re shooting, say, a field of flowers or a friend running along a beach, you might want to let the photo’s subject blur slightly to give the image a sense of motion and energy. Shooting with a slightly longer shutter speed will capture a little of the subject’s motion while the shutter is open. If the camera doesn’t capture enough blur when you’re shooting at 1/250, try a longer exposure time like 1/100.
Make sure that you’re using a tripod when you shoot images that capture motion. If you hold the camera by hand, the background of the shot will also blur as your hands shake slightly. This will give the photo an overall blurry look.
1-6. Match your shutter speed
Your camera’s aperture setting (also known as the f-stop) determines how wide the small hole is that lets light onto the image sensor and is an important component when trying to properly expose a photograph. Use your camera’s light sensor to figure settings that will lead to a good exposure of your image.
The ISO number refers to the film speed that your camera is set to imitate. Lower ISO numbers (e.g., 200 or 400) require more light to expose properly while higher ISO numbers (e.g., 800 or 1,600) require relatively little light.
For example, if you’re shooting 800 ISO film (or have your digital single-lens reflux [DSLR] set to 800 ISO), using an aperture of f/2 (wide) and a shutter speed of 1/500 (fast) will allow in roughly the same amount of light as shooting with an aperture of f/11 (narrow) and a shutter speed of 1/15 (slow).
1-7. Shoot with a wide aperture and a short shutter speed for a short depth of field.
In photography, depth of field refers to how much of the depth of the image is in focus. A “long” depth of field means that the background is in focus, while a “short” depth of field means that only the foreground is focused. Having a short depth of field is ideal for pictures that show only the subject and blur out the background.
For example, use an aperture of f/2 and a shutter speed of 1/1,000 to blur out the background and leave only the subject in focus.
Conversely, if you want a long depth of field, use a small aperture and a long shutter speed. This will render the entire image—foreground and background—in focus. This is a popular option for landscape photos.
2. Setting the Shutter Speed
2-1. Put your camera in “Tv” mode if you’d rather not select the f-stop.
Your camera should have a 1 inch (2.5 cm) wide selection dial on the top-right side that allows you to select how much control you have over the camera’s exposure settings. If you use “Tv” (time value) mode (also known as shutter priority mode), you’ll select the shutter speed and the camera will automatically choose a corresponding f-stop.
This is a good selection if you’re a less experienced photographer or don’t have time to match the f-stop to the shutter speed (e.g., if you’re shooting an action shot).
If you’re shooting in Tv mode and choose a shutter speed that’s too fast or slow for the lighting conditions, the f-stop will blink or present an error sign to indicate that you can’t use that shutter speed.
The terms “aperture” and “f-stop” are used interchangeably; they both refer to the same thing.
2-2. Use “manual” mode if you want full control over the exposure.
If you twist the selection dial to the “M” (manual) mode, you’ll be able to manually select both the shutter speed and the f-stop. This is a good option to use if you want to fiddle with the shot’s depth of field and if you have plenty of time to set up the shot (e.g., if you’re shooting a static subject).
Older DSLRs and film single-lens reflux (SLR) cameras may only have a fully manual and a fully automatic mode. In this case, select the fully manual mode to have control over the shutter speed.
2-3. Find the default shutter speed on the camera’s image display.
Once you’ve selected your shooting mode, take a look at the digital screen on the back of the camera. It should display the shutter speed that the camera is currently set to. In most cases, this will be the default shutter speed.
For example, many DSLRs have a default shutter speed of 1/320.
2-4. Click the dial on the top-right of the camera to adjust the shutter speed.
Most models of DSLR have a small, upward-facing dial on the top-right side of the camera, right next to the shutter button. Move the dial one click to the right to slow down the shutter speed by one stop and one click to the left to speed up the shutter speed by one stop.
If you’re shooting in Tv mode, the camera will select the f-stop that will best expose your image with the shutter speed you’ve chosen.
Tips
Depending on the make and model of your camera, changing the shutter speed might work slightly differently than the process described above. Consult your owner’s manual for more information.
The vast majority of SLR cameras being sold are digital. The nice thing about shooting with a DSLR is that you can experiment with different shutter speeds to figure out what looks best without wasting expensive film!

Lower ISO numbers (e.g., 200 or 400) require more light to expose properly while higher ISO numbers (e.g., 800 or 1,600) require relatively little light.\\nFor example, if you’re shooting 800 ISO film (or have your digital single-lens reflux [DSLR] set to 800 ISO), using an aperture of f/2 (wide) and a shutter speed of 1/500 (fast) will allow in roughly the same amount of light as shooting with an aperture of f/11 (narrow) and a shutter speed of 1/15 (slow).\\n1-7. Shoot with a wide aperture and a short shutter speed for a short depth of field.\\nIn photography, depth of field refers to how much of the depth of the image is in focus. A “long” depth of field means that the background is in focus, while a “short” depth of field means that only the foreground is focused. Having a short depth of field is ideal for pictures that show only the subject and blur out the background.\\nFor example, use an aperture of f/2 and a shutter speed of 1/1,000 to blur out the background and leave only the subject in focus.\\nConversely, if you want a long depth of field, use a small aperture and a long shutter speed. This will render the entire image—foreground and background—in focus. This is a popular option for landscape photos.\\n2. Setting the Shutter Speed\\n2-1. Put your camera in “Tv” mode if you’d rather not select the f-stop.\\nYour camera should have a 1 inch (2.5 cm) wide selection dial on the top-right side that allows you to select how much control you have over the camera’s exposure settings. If you use “Tv” (time value) mode (also known as shutter priority mode), you’ll select the shutter speed and the camera will automatically choose a corresponding f-stop.\\nThis is a good selection if you’re a less experienced photographer or don’t have time to match the f-stop to the shutter speed (e.g., if you’re shooting an action shot).\\nIf you’re shooting in Tv mode and choose a shutter speed that’s too fast or slow for the lighting conditions, the f-stop will blink or present an error sign to indicate that you can’t use that shutter speed.\\nThe terms “aperture” and “f-stop” are used interchangeably; they both refer to the same thing.\\n2-2. Use “manual” mode if you want full control over the exposure.\\nIf you twist the selection dial to the “M” (manual) mode, you’ll be able to manually select both the shutter speed and the f-stop. This is a good option to use if you want to fiddle with the shot’s depth of field and if you have plenty of time to set up the shot (e.g., if you’re shooting a static subject).\\nOlder DSLRs and film single-lens reflux (SLR) cameras may only have a fully manual and a fully automatic mode. In this case, select the fully manual mode to have control over the shutter speed.\\n2-3. Find the default shutter speed on the camera’s image display.\\nOnce you’ve selected your shooting mode, take a look at the digital screen on the back of the camera. It should display the shutter speed that the camera is currently set to. In most cases, this will be the default shutter speed.\\nFor example, many DSLRs have a default shutter speed of 1/320.\\n2-4. Click the dial on the top-right of the camera to adjust the shutter speed.\\nMost models of DSLR have a small, upward-facing dial on the top-right side of the camera, right next to the shutter button. Move the dial one click to the right to slow down the shutter speed by one stop and one click to the left to speed up the shutter speed by one stop.\\nIf you’re shooting in Tv mode, the camera will select the f-stop that will best expose your image with the shutter speed you’ve chosen.\\nTips\\nDepending on the make and model of your camera, changing the shutter speed might work slightly differently than the process described above. Consult your owner’s manual for more information.\\nThe vast majority of SLR cameras being sold are digital. The nice thing about shooting with a DSLR is that you can experiment with different shutter speeds to figure out what looks best without wasting expensive film!\\n\", \"简要回答\": \"The shutter speed is one of the most basic and fundamental things that goes into taking a great photograph. If the shutter is open for longer, the image sensor will be exposed to light for longer. With a short shutter speed, the image sensor will be exposed to light for less time. Changing the shutter speed by one notch faster or one notch slower is called adjusting it by one “step.” When you raise the shutter speed by one step you’re halving the amount of time that the shutter is open for, and when you lower the shutter speed by one step you’re doubling the amount of time that the shutter is open for.\", \"结构\": {\"方法\": [{\"编号\": 1, \"标题\": \"Selecting a Shutter Speed\", \"步骤\": [{\"编号\": 1, \"标题\": \"Use a fast shutter speed in bright shooting conditions.\", \"描述\": \"It’s important to adjust the shutter speed to accommodate the light you’re shooting in. Use a shutter speed faster than 1/250 of a second (e.g., 1/500 or 1/1,000) if you’re shooting in bright, natural light. This will adequately expose the image without overwhelming the image sensor with light. A longer exposure time will overexpose the photograph and leave it washed out.\\nShutter speeds are indicated as fractions of a second. For example, your shutter speed could be 1/125, 1/600, or 1/200. Some cameras will leave out the numerator, and just give the bottom half of the fraction. In this case, you’d be dealing with shutter speeds of 125, 600, or 200.\\nThe phrase “exposure time” just refers to the amount of time that the shutter is open.

If you find that 1/500 is a little too slow, try using 1/1,000 or 1/2,000.\\nWhen shooting with a fast shutter speed, you typically don’t need to use a tripod.

1,365 | How to Adjust Ski Bindings | 1. Alpine (Downhill) Skiing
1-1. Adjust the front of the binding.
Before calibrating the bindings to match the DIN setting (release force setting), you’ll need to adjust the length and pressure of the bindings to match the boot size.
Not every binding is the same, even within the Alpine class. The front of the bindings will have a millimeter counter on the front which you will need to match with the number of the boot’s sole length. The length of the sole is usually printed in millimeters somewhere on the heel of your boot.
Some newer bindings have a locking feature that allows you to release and adjust the binding without having to use a screwdriver.
When adjusting bindings you should always consult a professional technician and a DIN chart at your local ski shop.
1-2. Position a ski boot in the ski binding so that the toe of the boot is fitted into the front of the binding.
When you lock the boot into the binding, you’ll need to check the midsole and the forward pressure system.
Check to make sure the middle of the boot matches the middle of the ski.
Then, locate the pressure indicator on the back binding. The indicator, found on the heel piece, needs to be in the middle of the adjustment zone. Move the heel binding a few millimeters until you’re in the correct position.
1-3. Calculate your DIN.
The DIN number (so-called because the standard was established by the Deutsches Institut für Normung) determines how much force is necessary to release the boot from the binding. For most adult skiers who are beginners or intermediate, the DIN setting will be between 2-7. Adult intermediate to expert level skiers will be between 3-12.
The DIN number depends on several factors including the skier’s weight, height, age, boot length, and skier ability. Use a DIN calculator to figure out the DIN.
You should not attempt to adjust your DIN setting or make major adjustments to your bindings without the help of a certified technician. Improper adjustments can lead to a serious injury, like a torn ACL or worse. Adjusting your DIN setting can also void your warranty.
Calculating your DIN setting is hard to do without a chart. So it’s best to refer to an online calculator and a ski professional. The DIN setting will factor your age, weight, ability, height, and boot sole length to give you an approximate number.
1-4. Adjust your toe piece to match your DIN settings.
With a screwdriver, rotate the screw located at the front of the ski binding until the number next to it matches your DIN number.
The toe piece of your bindings will have an area that displays several numbers, usually on the top. Turning the screw will move the indicator allowing you to match it with the correct DIN number.
The DIN number is an indication of your release force setting. This setting determines the strength of the release trigger when you fall. Having the proper setting is extremely important, which is why you shouldn’t attempt to do this unless you are a professional. If your boot releases too early or too late you will seriously injure yourself.
1-5. Adjust the back of the binding.
Make sure you’ve slid the back end of the ski binding up so that it is snug against the heel of the ski boot. The pressure indicator should be in the proper position.
Turn the screw located on the rear ski binding until the skier’s DIN number aligns with the indicator.
1-6. Test the fit.
Grab a ski pole and put on your ski boots. Position the boots in the bindings toe-first, using your heel to lock the binding in place.
Make sure your brakes are in proper position. When the binding is open, the rear brake will be parallel to the ski; it will snap to a 45-degree angle when it’s closed. Use the ski pole to push down on the brake to unlock the binding. You should feel some resistance when trying to release your bindings. You can then use the foot you just released to step down on the other binding to release.
Adjust the fit if necessary. If you're having difficulty opening the binding with a ski pole, you might want to try a lower DIN. Be careful, though; set the DIN too low, and you’ll pop out of your bindings and injure yourself on the slopes. Set it too high and your boot won’t release at all.
See a professional. Even if you think you’ve got your bindings adjusted correctly, check your work with a professional. Certified technicians will be able to help you achieve an ideal fit.
2. Nordic (Cross Country) Skiing
2-1. Check your binding type.
For cross country skis, there are a few types of bindings that you may be working with. Because not every binding works with every type of cross country boot, you will have a certain type depending on the boots you have.
The main types of bindings are:
New Nordic Norm (NNN), or the Nordic Integrated System (NIS). These bindings feature two thin raised ridges that fit to matching grooves in your boots. The boot will have a metal rod at the toe which clips into the front of the binding and acts like a door hinge.
Salomon Nordic System (SNS) Profil bindings. These bindings use a single, wide binding ridge and a single matching sole groove.
SNS Pilot bindings. These bindings are similar to the Profile bindings. Except these bindings use two metal rods to click into two different binding slots. These bindings are thought to offer superior kick motion and flex while providing excellent stability.
2-2. Adjust the front of the binding.
If you have NIS or NNS bindings, you can adjust the bindings with your NIS key. Insert the key into your binding and press down. This also works on skate skis with an NIS plate.
The key allows you to slide the binding up or down along the ski. There are slots under the binding which your binding will click into. Every time you place your binding correctly into a slot, you will hear a click.
On classic skis, moving the binding toward the tip of the skis will give you a better grip. Moving it back gives you better glide.
On skate skis, moving the binding toward the tip of the skis toward the tail gives you a lower gear which translates to a faster start up with your stride. Moving toward the tip gives you a higher gear and a higher maximum speed.
As of January 1, 2016, Salomon bindings will carry the NNN system. Meaning that you won’t have to screw holes and mount the bindings into the correct position. You will be able to adjust new skate bindings with an NIS key.
2-3. Adjust the front of the binding for your proper DIN.
With a screwdriver, rotate the screw located at the front of the ski binding until the number next to it matches your DIN number. Position a ski boot in the ski binding so that the toe of the boot is fitted into the front of the binding.
Make sure you have the right type of bindings for Nordic skiing. Cross-country touring bindings are lightweight and more narrow, intended for use on groomed tracks or relatively flat expanses of snow.
Metal-edge touring bindings are heavier and wider. These bindings are meant to be used in more rugged terrain.
2-4. Adjust the back plate.
You can also adjust your back plate to match your bindings to your boot’s length.
Insert the key into your back plate and move it forward or backward to match the distance you moved your front plate.
2-5. Check for fit and range of motion.
Nordic ski bindings attach only at the front of the foot, leaving the heel free and detached from the ski.
If you’ve adjusted the bindings correctly you should be able to move easily and feel like you have adequate control over the skis. Put on your ski boots and test your bindings.
You should be able to release your boots from the bindings by pressing down on a release near the toe with a ski pole or with your hands.
2-6. Adjust the fit.
If your boot doesn’t feel secure in your bindings you will have to adjust the bindings with your key again.
Move the back plate forward or backward to adjust for your boot’s size.
Repeat the process on the second ski. Barring rare exceptions, your DIN and binding fit on the second ski should be the same as the first.
Adjusting your skis should be done by a professional technician at your local ski shop. These professionals can make sure you have the correct gear setup. A professional will make sure that your skis are adjusted for your body and ability level.
3. Deciding on Type of Skis and Bindings
3-1. Determine your preferred type of skiing.
The type of skis you get will differ on how and where you ski.
If you like to ski larger hills and mountains that offer steeper runs, you will want Alpine skis, or possibly Telemark skis. Alpine skis are made for steeper runs where you will be riding up to the top of a hill or mountain and then skiing down to the base.
3-2. Pick the right types of skis for you.
There are four main types of downhill skis, and three main types of cross country skis. You have all mountain skis, twin tip skis, backcountry, and racing skis.
The equipment you need for these different types of skis will not be the same across the board. All mountain skis with a wider waist are the best for all around skiing.
Twin tips have two tips which bend up, like a snowboard. These skis fall into two relative categories, all mountain, and park.
Backcountry skis are the widest and are meant for powder and ungroomed trails. These skis help you float on the snow but don’t let you turn as sharply.
Cross country and Randonée skis don’t accommodate for steep slopes. These skis feature lighter gear that aids in skating and climbing. These skis don’t allow for very sharp turns.
Telemark skis are a sort of mix ski that offers the ability to remove your back heel like in a Nordic ski. But a telemark ski is still designed for skiing down steeper and more aggressive slopes.
3-3. Consult a professional.
The best way to get the proper setup is to go to your local ski shop and get outfitted and measured by a ski professional.
Professional technicians can properly adjust your bindings and pair you with the right boots and equipment. You should consult a professional every season as your weight and ability may have changed.
Tips
Your DIN will change if you grow larger, lose or gain weight, age or improve your skill. Adjust your bindings accordingly.
Purchase boots and bindings at the same time. Not all bindings are interchangeable.
Make sure your bindings are properly mounted on the skis. The type of skiing you usually do will affect where your bindings are mounted, as well as your sex (men and women have different centers of gravity).
Warnings
Adjusting your bindings, especially your DIN settings is not recommended unless you are a professional. Improper adjustments can lead to serious injury.

The front of the bindings will have a millimeter counter on the front which you will need to match with the number of the boot’s sole length. The length of the sole is usually printed in millimeters somewhere on the heel of your boot. \\nSome newer bindings have a locking feature that allows you to release and adjust the binding without having to use a screwdriver.\\nWhen adjusting bindings you should always consult a professional technician and a DIN chart at your local ski shop.\"}, {\"编号\": 2, \"标题\": \"Position a ski boot in the ski binding so that the toe of the boot is fitted into the front of the binding.\", \"描述\": \"When you lock the boot into the binding, you’ll need to check the midsole and the forward pressure system.\\nCheck to make sure the middle of the boot matches the middle of the ski.\\nThen, locate the pressure indicator on the back binding.

Use a DIN calculator to figure out the DIN.\\nYou should not attempt to adjust your DIN setting or make major adjustments to your bindings without the help of a certified technician. Improper adjustments can lead to a serious injury, like a torn ACL or worse. Adjusting your DIN setting can also void your warranty. \\nCalculating your DIN setting is hard to do without a chart. So it’s best to refer to an online calculator and a ski professional.

1,366 | How to Adjust Sliding Glass Door Rollers | 1. Changing the Position of the Rollers
1-1. Locate the adjustment screws on the lower edges of the door.
Most sliding glass doors contain two sets of rollers, one on each side of the bottom of the door. You can alter the height of these rollers by accessing the adjustment screws. They are set into slots on the door's outer edges, perpendicular with the rollers themselves.
If you don't see the adjustment screw slots at first glance, look more closely—it can be easy to miss the adjustment screws if they're hidden with plugs of the same color.
Some larger sliding glass doors may have rollers on both the top and bottom edges.
1-2. Use a screwdriver to turn the screws and move the rollers up or down.
On most models, rotating the screws to the left (counterclockwise) will raise them, while rotating them to the right (clockwise) will lower them. The idea is to get them sitting perfectly flush with the track. This may involve a little bit of trial-and-error.
Take a peek inside the slots at the screws to see whether you need a flat head or Phillips head screwdriver.
You may only need to adjust one of the screws to get your door back on track, or you might have to tinker with both sets if the rollers are severely out of alignment.
1-3. Continue adjusting the rollers until the door glides smoothly.
It may take a few attempts before you get the door rolling without resistance. By the time you're finished, the door should be sitting perfectly level on the track, and there should be an equal amount of space between the door and the track on both the top and bottom.
If you're not sure whether the door is straight, pull it slightly ajar and check the reveal, or the area where the inner edge meets the door jamb. It may be easier to spot alignment issues that way than by looking at the frame.
Remember to replace the plugs that cover the adjustment screw slots if your door has them.
2. Cleaning the Rollers
2-1. Retract the adjustment screws fully to remove the door from its track.
Locate the adjustment screw slots on the lower side edges of the door and use a screwdriver to turn the screws to the left (counterclockwise) as far as they'll go. This will lower the rollers completely. Take hold of either side of the door and carefully guide the upper edge out of the top track before lifting the lower edge out of the bottom track.
If your sliding glass door features a door stop at the top of the frame, you may need to unscrew it before you can remove the door from the track.
2-2. Place the door on a flat, stable surface.
Once you've removed your door, carry it over to a countertop, workbench, crafting table, or pair of sawhorses. Being able to set the door down will allow you to work on the rollers obstructed without worrying about the door falling over or becoming damaged accidentally.
If you don't have anywhere else to work on your door, you can also stretch a dropcloth out on the ground and set the door down carefully on top.
2-3. Pry out the roller units with your screwdriver.
Turn the adjustment screws all the way to the right (clockwise) to fully extend the rollers. Then, wedge the tip of the screwdriver into the space between the first set of rollers and the doorframe and lift the handle gently to coax the entire construction out. Repeat the process with the rollers on the opposite side of the door.
If it's not possible to remove your door's rollers with a screwdriver, you'll need to shift the side panels of the door upward enough to slide the rollers clear of the track. You can do this by tapping them with a rubber mallet.
Keep the extracted roller units together the entire time they're out of the doorframe, and be careful not to drop them, or they could break.
2-4. Wipe the rollers clean using rubbing alcohol.
Soak a cotton ball or the corner of a rag in the alcohol and use it to polish the removed rollers. Focus on areas that show signs of heavy grime or discoloration. Re-wet your cleaning pad with fresh alcohol before turning your attention to the second set of rollers.
If you need something a little stronger to cut through stubborn buildup, try using denatured alcohol instead. Denatured alcohol is especially useful for dissolving grease and sticky substances from metal.
There's no need to dry the clean rollers manually, as the alcohol will quickly evaporate on its own.
2-5. Force the roller units back into the channel on the underside of the door.
Line up the top of each unit with the opening and press straight up on them firmly to snap them back into place. Once they're secure, turn the adjustment screws on the lower edges of the door all the way counterclockwise to put them back in their fully retracted position and prepare the door for reinstallation.
If you're having trouble getting the rollers to go back in, tap them gently with a mallet and wooden block.
Don't forget to tap the door panels back into their original position if you had to shift them up in order to remove your rollers.
2-6. Guide the door back into its track, starting at the top.
Align the upper edge of the door with the inside of the top track and “walk” the lower edge forward until it rests up against the bottom track. Lift up on the door and shift the lower edge into the bottom track, then set it down delicately. Don't let go of the door until you've confirmed that it's seated squarely inside both tracks.
After mounting your door, open and close it a few times to test it out. If dirty rollers were the issue, it should glide smoothly without resistance or sticking.
3. Maintaining the Track
3-1. Scrub the entire track with a wire brush.
Slide both doors to one end of the track to leave the opposite half exposed. Run your wire brush along the inside of the track, making sure to work the bristles deep into every crack, crevice, and contour. When you're done cleaning the first half of the track, pull both doors over to the other end and go over the second half.
For extra cleaning power, dip your brush in a mild soapy water solution before you begin scrubbing.
You may need to use a little elbow grease to whisk away long-standing dirt and grime, especially on doors that open to the outside.
It will be much easier to clean your sliding glass door's track if you've already removed the door to clean the rollers.
3-2. Vacuum or wipe up the loose debris.
Once you've successfully dislodged all of the dirt clogging up the track, grab a shop vacuum and suction it up to get rid of the mess. If you don't have a vacuum handy, wet a clean cloth and wring out the excess water so that it's just slightly damp, then use it to pick up the debris by hand.
Portable hand vacuums are also perfectly suited for this task.
Get in the habit of vacuuming your sliding glass door track regularly between more intensive cleanings. In fact, with frequent vacuuming, more intensive cleanings may not even be necessary.
3-3. Lubricate the track with a dirt-repelling silicone spray.
Position the nozzle of the spray can 3–4 inches (7.6–10.2 cm) away from the track and move it slowly from one end to the other while holding down the spray button. Coat the track with a thin, even layer of lubricant, then clean up any excess lubricant that's found its way onto the surrounding floor with a folded paper towel.
You can pick up a can of silicone lubricant at any hardware store or home improvement center for just a few dollars.
Another less messy option is to rub the length of the track with a block of paraffin wax.
Tips
If you discover that the rollers for your sliding glass door are cracked, chipped, or otherwise damaged, your best bet is to purchase a replacement set.

1,367 | How to Adjust Soft Close Hinges | 1. Examining the Door
1-1. Check to see if you have overlay or inset cabinets.
Take a closer look at the top of your cabinet doors to see what style they are. See if your doors fit exactly into the space carved out for your cabinet doors—if this is the case, then they’re inset. If your cabinet doors cover the cabinet space instead of fitting into it, then they’re overlay.
While there isn’t a monumental difference between these two styles, your hinges might be positioned a bit differently depending on the type of cabinet you have.
1-2. Use a screwdriver to straighten out any crooked doors.
Take a step back and look at your cabinet or cupboard doors to see if they’re straight. If one or both of the cabinet doors isn’t aligned, use a Phillips screwdriver to tighten the screws and make the doors parallel to one another. If the cabinet doors still aren’t lined up, consider unscrewing and reattaching them.
If the doors aren’t properly aligned, then they won’t close correctly. This will make it difficult to adjust the hinge settings later on.
1-3. Close the hinged door all of the way.
Shut the door so that the inner cabinet or cupboard is completely concealed. Take a moment to focus on the soft close hinge and find the adjustment tab. Look for gray or silver plunger in the center of the hinge. To confirm that it’s the adjustment tab, try pulling on it with the tip of your finger.
Depending on the model of your hinge, this tab might look a little different. For instance, some hinges sport a movable adjustment lever instead.
2. Modifying the Hinge
2-1. Set the adjustment hinge to a lighter setting if you have smaller cabinet doors.
Push the adjustment lever or tab in so that it stays retracted. If you have a lever mechanism, make sure that it’s facing the side wall of the cabinet. In the case of an adjustment tab, make sure that the mechanism is pushed in all the way.
If your hinge model has an adjustment tab, there should be a large gap between the tab and the hinge itself. This gap should be at least 0.5 centimetres (0.20 in) wide.
2-2. Opt for a medium hinge setting if you’re adjusting a regular cabinet door.
Turn the adjustment lever clockwise so that it faces the cabinet ceiling. If your hinge has an adjustment tab instead, use your fingers to pull the tab forward a moderate amount. Aim for there to be a 10 millimetres (0.39 in) gap between the tab and the actual hinge.
The vast majority of hinged doors will be using this setting.
Note that this is the factory setting for most cabinets with adjustment levers.
2-3. Adjust bigger doors so that they have the strongest hinge setting.
Rotate the adjustment lever clockwise by 90 degrees until it’s facing the inside of the cabinet. In the case of other hinge models, use your fingers to pull the adjustment tab as far as it can go. At this point, check to see that there are only 5 millimetres (0.20 in) separating the end of the tab of the edge of the clasping mechanism on the hinge.
2-4. Open and close the cabinet doors to test them out.
Test out each cabinet door to make sure that the soft close hinges are at the proper setting. If the door closes too quickly, try tightening the adjustment mechanism so that the hinge carries more weight. Tinker with each cabinet door until you’re content with the hinge settings.
Tips
If you have difficulty adjusting your soft close hinges, try asking an associate at a hardware or home improvement store for help.

1,368 | How to Adjust Soft Close Toilet Seat Hinges | 1. Slowing Down Metal Peg-Style Hinges
1-1. Open up your toilet seat and look for metal hinges that sit on vertical pegs.
Metal peg-style hinges are 1 of the 2 main types of hinge assemblies that soft-close toilet seats may use. Look for metal pegs coming up from round plates attached to the back of the toilet bowl, which the hinges on the toilet seat slide onto.
If you don’t see this type of hinge assembly, your soft-close seat probably has a plastic clip-on type of hinge assembly.
1-2. Lift the toilet seat straight up off the hinges from the upright position.
Leave the soft-close seat in the fully open position. Hold the seat at the top and bottom or at both sides and carefully pull it straight up off the metal pegs.
If your toilet seat doesn’t lift straight off, try tilting it forward just a few degrees and see if you can lift it off from that position.
If you can’t slide the seat off the pegs, try pressing in the hinges with your thumbs and lifting it off. Different soft-close seats with peg-style hinge assemblies may have different locking mechanisms.
1-3. Set the toilet seat upside-down on a flat work surface.
Flip your seat over so that the metal hinges are exposed. Lay the seat flat on a table or another flat surface.
1-4. Pull out the cylindrical dampers on both sides of the back of the seat.
Grab the dampers between your fingers. Pull the cylinders all the way out of the holes they sit in.
These dampers are what actually control the speed at which the seat closes.
1-5. Rotate the dampers towards the back of the seat to make it close more slowly.
Spin each hinge damper towards the back of the seat, ensuring that you align the shape of the dampers with the shape of the holes that they slide into. This will slow down the seat’s hinges so they close it more softly and quietly.
Not all soft-close toilet seat hinges are adjustable. If there are notches on the dampers that make it so you can only take them in and out in 1 position, they are not adjustable.
If your hinges are adjustable, they may be hexagonal or have multiple notches that allow you to put them in at different positions. They might also be labeled with “slow/fast” and directional arrows.
Depending on the specific soft-close toilet seat you have, there might be 2-3 different positions you can set the dampers in to control the speed of the seat.
1-6. Slide the hinge dampers back into the hinge assembly.
Push the cylindrical damper back into the hole in the hinge assembly on one side. Repeat this for the damper on the other side.
If the soft-close dampers have multiple positions you can set them to for different speeds, double-check that you are putting them in at the same position on both sides of the seat. Otherwise, the seat and lid might close at different speeds.
1-7. Put the toilet seat back on the toilet bowl.
Align the holes in the seat’s hinges with the begs on the toilet bowl. Set the seat back on the hinge pegs in the upright position.
If the hinges have a locking mechanism, make sure you push the seat all the way onto the pegs until the hinges snap into place.
2. Making Adjustments to Plastic Clip-on Hinges
2-1. Close the toilet seat and look for rectangular plastic covers at the back.
Plastic clip-on hinge assemblies are the second main type of hinge assemblies that soft-close toilet seats can have. Look for rectangular plastic pieces that come off the back of the toilet seat, which cover the bolts in the toilet bowl that the seat’s hinges clip onto.
If you don’t see a plastic hinge assembly, your soft-close seat probably has metal peg-style hinges.
2-2. Slide the seat forward from the down position to remove it.
Leave the seat all the way down so that it is resting in the closed position on the toilet bowl. Flip up the plastic hinge covers at the back of the seat, then grasp the seat from the back and pull it straight forward off the toilet.
If you are unable to slide off the toilet seat, you might have to unscrew the bolts from underneath on the back side of the toilet bowl to remove it. Soft-close toilet seats with clip-on hinge assemblies can have slightly different attachment methods, depending on the specific make and model.
2-3. Place the soft-close seat upside-down on a flat surface.
Flip the seat over so that the hinge assembly is exposed. Lay it down on a flat surface with the hinges facing you.
2-4. Use needle-nose pliers to pull the cylindrical dampers out of the hinge assembly.
Grasp the edge of 1 of the dampers between the pliers and pull to slide it out of the hole it sits in. Repeat this for the damper on the other side.
There might be a plastic cover on the underside of the hinge assembly that you have to pop off to see the cylindrical hinge dampers. If so, just pry it off with your fingers and set it aside. You might also be able to lift the whole hinge assembly out of the toilet seat to work on it more easily.
2-5. Turn the hinge dampers towards the back of the toilet seat to slow it down.
Rotate each hinge damper towards the back of the seat to make it close more slowly and quietly. Look at any notches or markings on the dampers and look at the shape of the holes in the hinge assembly to determine how far to turn the hinges to reinsert them at a new position.
If there are only 1 set of notches on the dampers or their shape makes it so that they can only be inserted into the hinge assembly in 1 position, they are not adjustable.
Adjustable hinges are sometimes hexagonal or have different notches so you can insert them at different positions. They could also have directional arrows and be labeled with “slow/fast.”
There might be 2-3 different positions you can set the dampers in to set the soft-close seat to different speeds, depending on the make and model of the seat.
2-6. Use your fingers to push the hinge dampers back into the hinge assembly.
Insert the cylindrical damper back into the hole in the hinge assembly on one side in its new position. Do the same with the damper on the other side of the seat.
Make sure you’re putting both the dampers in the same position on their respective sides of the hinge assembly, or the seat and lid could close at different speeds.
If you removed the hinge assembly from the seat or popped a cover off the hinge assembly, replace these at this time as well.
2-7. Slide the toilet seat back onto the bolts at the back of the toilet bowl.
Flip the toilet seat back over and set it flat on the toilet bowl. Align the clips at the back of the hinge assembly with the bolts on the toilet bowl, then push the seat until it clips all the way back on. Press the plastic covers back on top of the bolts.
Tips
If you can’t adjust the hinges on your soft-close toilet seat to make it close slowly and quietly again, you can replace the hinge dampers or the whole seat at a low cost.
If the speed of your toilet seat is fine, but you want to tighten the seat to stop it wobbling around, you don’t need to adjust the hinges. You can try tightening the bolts on the underside of the toilet bowl to fix a loose seat.

1,369 | How to Adjust Soil pH | 1. Evaluating Your Soil
1-1. Identify your soil type.
Before you test your soil or add anything to it, you will need to determine what type of soil you have. Determine if your soil is clumpy, dry, loose or wet. This will give you some clues about what altering the soil may entail. Because of this, you should understand your soil type early.
Well-drained and loose soil will be more easily altered. On the other hand, compacted soil that has a lot of clay in it will be difficult to change.
Determining your soil type will help you figure out the best method for applying any materials to it.
1-2. Understand soil pH.
In order to adjust your soil’s pH, you will need to know what that is. A soil's pH represents how acidic or alkaline it is. Soil pH is determined on a scale from zero to 14, with seven being a neutral pH that is neither acidic nor alkaline. Anything over seven is alkaline and anything below seven is acidic. Most plants prefer a pH between six and seven and a half, as do earthworms and microorganisms, which help your plants.
1-3. Consider what you are planting.
The type of plants you intend to grow will determine what your soil’s pH needs to be. Many plants prefer a more acidic soil, particularly flowers and some fruit plants like blueberries. Research what the recommended pH levels are for the plants you want to grow.
Azaleas, rhododendrons, blueberries and conifers like acidic soils (pH 5.0 to 5.5)
Vegetables, grasses and most ornamentals prefer slightly acidic soils (pH 5.8 to 6.5)
1-4. Test the soil’s pH
Once you have an understanding of soil pH and the type of soil you are dealing with, you will want to get it tested. You can buy a commercial test at a local home and garden store or send a sample to a company that will test it for you. The easiest way to test your soil is to dig a hole, fill it with water and then insert a test probe into muddy water. However, sending a soil sample to be tested will give you a more accurate indication of your soil’s pH
There are also some DIY methods that include making your own pH test strips.
1-5. Have your water tested
Test your water to determine how it affects your soil. Groundwater, the water used in most homes and gardens, tends to be more alkaline. However, rainwater tends to be more acidic. If you live somewhere with lots of rainfall, your soil may be slightly more acidic. If you mostly water your garden or yard with water from a faucet, your soil may be more alkaline.
You can use commercial pH test strips or an electronic pH meter.
2. Increasing the pH
2-1. Pick a liming material.
If you have tested your soil and found that it is too acidic, you can raise the pH by adding a base. The most common materials used to increase the pH of soil are compounds made from powdered limestone, or lime, which you can find at most home and garden store. Standard lime comes in four types: pulverized, hydrated, granules and pellets. Depending on your soil type and the amount of moisture in the ground, one of these compounds may be a good option.
Pulverized lime is finely ground and more easily absorbed by the soil. However, it is more difficult to spread because it can clog the applicator.
Granular and pelletized lime are easier to spread. However, it is not as effective at altering the soil pH.
Hydrated lime should only be used with extremely acidic soils since it is more water-soluble and can quickly increase a soil’s pH.
Some lime sources contain micronutrients like dolomite, which is a mixture of calcium and magnesium carbonates. However, you should only use dolomitic lime if your soil is magnesium deficient. Do not add more magnesium to soils that are already high in it.
2-2. Think about using wood ashes.
The ash of burned trees is also quite basic and can add micronutrients like calcium, potassium, phosphate, and boron. Wood ash is not as effective as lime. However, it can dramatically increase a soil’s pH over time. Because of this, you should monitor the soil closely as you apply wood ash.
Keep the ash from coming into contact with any plant roots or germinating seedlings because it may damage them.
Wood ash works well in sandy soil.
2-3. Apply the liming source.
In order to get the best results, you will want to till the liming material into the soil about two to three months before planting (usually in the fall or winter) so that there is plenty of time for the pH to change. The lime should be tilled into the soil’s the root zone or the top 7 inches (18 cm) of soil.
You can apply the lime by hand if you have a small enough piece of land. You can also use a spreader to apply liming material to a yard.
You can use a rake or a rototiller to work the liming material into the soil.
Because lime is not very water-soluble, tilling it into the soil will maximize its effect.
2-4. Water the soil regularly.
Lime will have little effect on dry soils, so you will need to apply water regularly. Water activates the lime and helps it seep into the soil. Use a garden hose or sprinkler to apply water.
How often you water the soil depends on the size of the plot of land and the amount of moisture already in the soil. Too much watering can leech other minerals out of the soil.
3. Decreasing the pH
3-1. Use organic materials.
Over time, organic matter, such as pine needles, compost or composted manure, can lower your soil’s pH. However, this can take many years and is only applicable if you have long-term gardening goals. This is a good option for organic gardening.
Organic matter is also useful for improving a soil's drainage and aeration.
Because of the amount of organic matter used and the time needed to break it down into usable soil, this application is best for small plots.
3-2. Consider applying sulfur.
Another way to increase your soil’s acidity gradually is by adding sulfur. The effectiveness of sulfur depends on a number of factors, including moisture, temperature, and bacteria. Because these factors can be unpredictable, the ability of sulfur to lower a soil’s pH can take several months.
You can buy sulfur at most home and garden stores. Avoid using powdered sulfur because it is too fine for acidifying soil.
The increase in acidity is due to a biological reaction involving bacteria.
3-3. Think about adding aluminum sulfate.
This compound instantly makes the soil more acidic due to a chemical reaction involving aluminum. Because of this, many amateur and small-scale gardeners prefer aluminum sulfate to organic compounds or plain sulfur. However, because it alters the pH of the soil so quickly, it can be more difficult to control the soil acidity.
You can buy aluminum sulfate at most home and garden stores.
Because aluminum sulfate creates a chemical reaction in the ground, as opposed to a biological one, some farmers and gardeners are less inclined to use it over materials that produce acidity through a biological reaction.
3-4. Till the materials into the soil.
You will need to till the organic compounds, sulfur and aluminum sulfate into the soil to be effective. Organic compounds may need multiple applications depending on the soil pH. Be sure to test the soil before reapplying.
Avoid over applying the sulfur or aluminum sulfate.
3-5. Rinse your plants after application.
If the sulfur or aluminum sulfate gets on the leaves of your plants, you will need to rinse it off with a hose. Failure to rinse them off can result in burns to the leaves and damage to your plants. Watering your plants will also help the compounds set.

1,371 | How to Adjust Sprinkler Heads | 1. Adjusting a Sprinkler Spray Head
1-1. Turn the sprinkler on to see what adjustments you need to make.
Check the sprinkler for water distribution and see if it’s missing parts of your lawn. Make sure to have the water source at the level you’d set it to if you were actually watering your lawn. Observe how much coverage your sprinkler is providing before making your adjustments.
Give the sprinkler a few minutes until you’re sure you’ve seen how it covers the grass.
1-2. Adjust the arc clockwise to reduce the amount of water coverage.
Grab the edge of the nozzle with your thumb and forefinger and turn it to the right to reduce the arc of water. Make this adjustment to water one specific section of your lawn.
By turning the arc clockwise, you’re reducing the sprinkler arc and allowing the sprinkler to focus on a smaller section of your lawn.
1-3. Twist the arc counter-clockwise to up the amount of water coverage.
If you want your sprinkler to cover both sides of your lawn, turn the nozzle head to the left. Place your thumb and forefinger on the nozzle head and twist it until you get a full fan-like arc.
The arc measures how wide the spray goes.
1-4. Turn the screw in the nozzle head clockwise to reduce the radius.
The radius measures how far the water sprays from the sprinkler itself. To adjust it, use a flathead screwdriver and insert into the screw in the middle of the nozzle. Turn the screw to the right to shorten the spray distance.
By shortening the spray distance, you can water the grass right in front of your sprinkler more completely.
1-5. Turn the screw counter-clockwise to increase the radius.
If you want to water a patch of grass that’s far away from your sprinkler, place the flathead screwdriver in the screw and twist it to the left. The more times you twist the screwdriver, the farther the spray will travel.
Once you’re unable to twist the screwdriver, you’ve reached the sprinkler’s radius limit.
2. Fixing Rotor Heads
2-1. Install the wrench into the raised arrow to adjust the spray.
Your rotor head sprinkler should come with a two-sided adjustment wrench. The Allen wrench side is used to adjust the spray radius. Find the raised arrow on top of the spray nozzle and place the Allen wrench inside of it. Spin the wrench clockwise to decrease the spray radius.
There’s a hole next to the raised arrow. This is where the Allen wrench goes.
2-2. Turn the wrench counter-clockwise to increase spray.
To increase your sprinkler coverage, put the Allen wrench inside the hole by the raised arrow and twist it to the left to get a longer spray. Make this adjustment when you need to water plants that are a few feet away from your sprinkler head.
2-3. Insert the other side of the wrench into the nozzle head to adjust the arc.
The other side of the wrench is called the “Plastic T”. It goes into the other hole on top of the nozzle head. This hole has a plus and minus sign next to it. When you insert the Plastic T, spin it slightly so it sits flush in the hole. Spin the wrench to the plus-side to increase the sprinkler’s coverage.
To decrease the sprinkler’s coverage, spin the wrench to the minus-side.
3. Testing Impact Sprinklers
3-1. Turn the water flow up or down to affect the spray distance.
This is the easiest way to adjust how far your sprinkler sprays. Twist the knob of your water source to the right to increase the water flow. Turn it to the left to decrease water flow.
The knob for the water source should be located on your back porch.
3-2. Adjust the diffuser screw-in to shorten the spray distance.
The diffuser screw-in is a nail located on the side of your impact sprinkler. To twist it, hold the sprinkler head with your offhand and turn the diffuser screw-in to the right to lower the spray distance.
To increase the spray distance, twist the screw-in to the left.
3-3. Use the deflector shield to adjust the arc of the water.
The deflector shield is a flat piece of metal that sits just above the diffuser screw-in. To lengthen the water distance, keep the deflector shield up as high as it can sit. To shorten the distance, push the deflector shield down a few notches.
The further you pull the deflector shield down, the more the water distance lowers.
3-4. Flip the trip pin up to get a full 360-degree spray pattern.
The trip pin is a piece of metal that sits on the side of the impact sprinkler. It has a thin top and is bent in the middle. To create a 360-spray pattern, flip it up and snap it into place.
A 360-spray pattern allows you to relax while your sprinkler waters your yard for you.

1,372 | How to Adjust String Tension on a Guitar | 1. Changing Your Strings
1-1. Use heavier gauge strings if you want more string tension.
Online or at a guitar shop, look for strings with the heaviest gauge — they'll have the highest number range, and typically include the word "heavy" on the package. When you put these strings on your guitar, they'll feel stiffer and be much more difficult to fret or bend.
Generally, the higher the gauge, the more tension your strings will have when they're tuned to pitch.
If you're a heavy strummer or play rhythm guitar in a heavier genre, such as punk or metal, you'll likely do better with a heavier string gauge.
1-2. Switch to a lighter gauge if you want less string tension.
Most beginner guitars already come equipped with relatively light strings. However, if you still find those difficult to play and want less tension, a lighter gauge might do the trick.
A pack of 8s is typically the lightest guitar string you can find. Some brands make strings with different materials so that they feel even lighter, even if they're the same gauge. You might want to experiment with that as well.
Lighter gauge strings do tend to lose tension more quickly, so you might find that you need to retune your guitar more often while you're playing.
1-3. Try electric guitar strings on an acoustic guitar to go even lighter.
Electric guitar strings, generally, are lighter than acoustic guitar strings. If playing your acoustic guitar is giving your fretting hand a workout, you might find that electric guitar strings feel better.
If you put electric guitar strings on an acoustic guitar, you'll likely notice a decrease in sound quality. However, if you're still just learning, you can switch back to heavier strings once your fretting hand starts getting stronger and you develop more confidence in your playing.
1-4. Move up or down one gauge at a time to start.
Guitar strings come in gauges ranging from extremely light (0.008 - 0.038) to heavy (0.012 - 0.054). Moving up or down even one gauge can feel tremendously different and take some time to get used to, especially if you've been playing for a while with the original gauge.
Because different brands use different names for gauges, guitarists commonly refer to them by the smallest number in the range. For example, if you say that you want a "pack of 10s," you're asking for a pack of strings with gauges that range from 0.010 to 0.046.
For example, if your guitar came with 10s and you think those strings are too heavy, you might drop down to 9s. Play on 9s for a few weeks and if they still feel too heavy, drop down to 8s.
1-5. Get your guitar set up again if you change by more than one gauge.
While you can complete a guitar setup yourself, you'll typically be better off taking it to an experienced guitar tech or luthier. You might save some money doing it yourself, but you also risk causing serious damage to your guitar if you've never done any guitar repair before.
A basic guitar setup involves adjusting the truss rod and saddle height so your strings have proper relief, action, and intonation, all related to the distance between the strings and the frets. Since different string gauges have different thicknesses, this changes that distance.
When your guitar was initially set up, it was likely set up to work with the gauge of strings that originally came on it. If you only go up or down by one gauge, say from 10s to 11s (or vice versa), your guitar setup should be fine. But if you go up from 10s to 12s, you likely need a new setup.
2. Making Your Guitar Easier to Play
2-1. Adjust the truss rod to correct neck relief.
Use a hex key to turn the truss rod (typically accessible from the headstock of your guitar) to change the curve of your neck. Neck relief is highly subjective and depends on your playing style. However, if you play with a light to moderate touch, you'll typically be more comfortable with less relief.
Many guitarists will adjust their truss rod themselves. However, if you're a beginner, get a guitar tech or a more experienced guitarist to help you. If you tighten the truss rod too much, you can snap the neck of your guitar.
2-2. Lower the height of your saddle to make strings easier to fret and bend.
Measure the distance between the string and the fret at the 12th fret. If you want the strings to be closer to the fret, turn the bridge screws to the left to lower it. If you want the strings further away from the fret, raise the height of the saddle by turning the bridge screw to the right.
Lowering the height of your strings also makes it easier to fret notes because you don't have to push them down as far. Higher strings require more effort from your fretting hand.
If you have a Fender guitar, you can adjust the bridge height of each string individually.
2-3. Change the height of the strings at the nut.
Use a file to increase the depth of the notches in the nut where your strings sit. If you're doing this yourself, be careful — you can't replace any part of the nut that you've filed away if you're unhappy with it. Typically, you're better off getting an experienced guitar tech or luthier to make this adjustment for you.
You can also look for a different nut with a lower profile and simply swap your guitar's nut out with that. Generally, this will help your strings sit closer to the frets, so they're easier to play.
If you want to increase the height of your strings at the nut (which would increase string tension), you can add a shim underneath the existing nut or buy a new nut with a higher profile.
2-4. File down the frets to reduce action even further.
If you're still having difficulty playing your guitar, take it to a luthier to have the frets filed down. Don't attempt this repair on your own, even if you have some experience working on your guitar. Filing frets requires a specific set of tools and precise measurements. If you get them uneven, you'll ruin your guitar.
If the luthier files down your frets, this lets you lower the action even more, which will ultimately make your guitar easier to play.
Only do this as a last resort. If you end up wanting to change the height of your frets again later on, your only recourse may be to have them replaced entirely, which can be an expensive repair.
3. Choosing a Properly Sized Guitar
3-1. Find a neck size and shape that fits your hand and playing style.
Slim V-neck guitars are usually designed so that you can loop your thumb around to the fretboard, which makes them very easy to play, especially if you have smaller hands. For larger hands, look for a guitar with a wider neck and a deeper curve.
Wider necks are also typically more comfortable for fast playing or finger-picking because they give you more room to maneuver.
If you've just started learning the guitar or are shopping for your first guitar, you won't have much to go on in terms of your playing style — but you likely still have an idea of the type of music you'd like to play. Focus on a neck that feels good in your hands and will enable you to one day play the type of music you're most interested in.
3-2. Try a reduced-size guitar if the body is too big for you to handle.
Smaller guitars tend to be easier to play because they're not as heavy and fit in your hands and arms more easily. However, they also have a shorter scale, which means they have lower string tension than full-size guitars.
If you're a smaller-statured person or have smaller hands, a reduced-size guitar might be a more comfortable fit.
Keep in mind that you can also find full-size guitars with shorter scales. If string tension is your biggest concern, focus on scale length rather than the overall size of the guitar.
3-3. Play different scale lengths to compare comfort and playability.
The scale of a guitar is the length of the vibrating part of the string, generally measured from the nut to the bridge. As the scale gets longer the string tension increases.
Guitars with a longer scale also have a greater distance between the frets. If you have larger hands, you might find that a longer scale guitar is more comfortable.
The scale length of a guitar has little to do with the type of music you play. You can play any style on any scale — the question is how comfortable the instrument is for you to play.
3-4. Go with a shorter scale guitar if you want the lowest string tension.
With a short-scale guitar, you get lower tension even on strings with heavier gauges. If you don't enjoy playing on the lightest gauge strings, you might find a short-scale guitar more accommodating.
Short-scale guitars also tend to be quieter instruments that don't require a lot of effort to play. This makes them good if you're a beginner who's still working on your hand strength and flexibility.
While you can play any kind of music on a shorter scale guitar, the lower tension makes this guitar particularly well-suited to a looser style of playing that includes lots of bends and vibrato.
3-5. Use a longer scale guitar for higher string tension.
With a longer scale guitar, your strings will be tight and stiff. These guitars are typically best if you have a little experience playing guitar and prefer to play in a hard, driving style, such as hard rock or heavy metal.
You might also prefer a longer scale if you have a heavy hand. The higher string tension means your strings won't fall out of tune as often.
Tips
Sore hands are common for beginners, especially if you're learning on an acoustic, and may have nothing to do with string tension. Stretch your hands and strengthen the muscles in your fingers so they'll adapt to guitar playing.[18]
X
Research source
Most guitar string manufacturers have a string tension calculator on their website that you can use if you're a more advanced guitarist and want to create a custom set of strings with balanced tension that matches your preferences and playing style.[19]
X
Research source
If you're a beginner, experiment with different string tension as your playing advances. You might discover that your preferences change as you become a more skilled and confident player.
Warnings
If you want to adjust the action of your guitar to make it easier to play, take it to an experienced guitar tech or luthier. If you attempt to do this yourself and have no experience with guitar repair, you could irreparably damage your instrument.
Find the gauge of strings you like best before you do anything about the action. Otherwise, you might have to adjust the action all over again. If you're getting a guitar tech to make these adjustments for you, multiple adjustments can be costly.[20]

Don't attempt this repair on your own, even if you have some experience working on your guitar. Filing frets requires a specific set of tools and precise measurements. If you get them uneven, you'll ruin your guitar.\\nIf the luthier files down your frets, this lets you lower the action even more, which will ultimately make your guitar easier to play.\\nOnly do this as a last resort. If you end up wanting to change the height of your frets again later on, your only recourse may be to have them replaced entirely, which can be an expensive repair.\\n3. Choosing a Properly Sized Guitar\\n3-1. Find a neck size and shape that fits your hand and playing style.\\nSlim V-neck guitars are usually designed so that you can loop your thumb around to the fretboard, which makes them very easy to play, especially if you have smaller hands. For larger hands, look for a guitar with a wider neck and a deeper curve.\\nWider necks are also typically more comfortable for fast playing or finger-picking because they give you more room to maneuver.\\nIf you've just started learning the guitar or are shopping for your first guitar, you won't have much to go on in terms of your playing style — but you likely still have an idea of the type of music you'd like to play. Focus on a neck that feels good in your hands and will enable you to one day play the type of music you're most interested in.\\n3-2. Try a reduced-size guitar if the body is too big for you to handle.\\nSmaller guitars tend to be easier to play because they're not as heavy and fit in your hands and arms more easily. However, they also have a shorter scale, which means they have lower string tension than full-size guitars.\\nIf you're a smaller-statured person or have smaller hands, a reduced-size guitar might be a more comfortable fit.\\nKeep in mind that you can also find full-size guitars with shorter scales. If string tension is your biggest concern, focus on scale length rather than the overall size of the guitar.\\n3-3. Play different scale lengths to compare comfort and playability.\\nThe scale of a guitar is the length of the vibrating part of the string, generally measured from the nut to the bridge. As the scale gets longer the string tension increases.\\nGuitars with a longer scale also have a greater distance between the frets. If you have larger hands, you might find that a longer scale guitar is more comfortable.\\nThe scale length of a guitar has little to do with the type of music you play. You can play any style on any scale — the question is how comfortable the instrument is for you to play.\\n3-4. Go with a shorter scale guitar if you want the lowest string tension.\\nWith a short-scale guitar, you get lower tension even on strings with heavier gauges. If you don't enjoy playing on the lightest gauge strings, you might find a short-scale guitar more accommodating.\\nShort-scale guitars also tend to be quieter instruments that don't require a lot of effort to play. This makes them good if you're a beginner who's still working on your hand strength and flexibility.\\nWhile you can play any kind of music on a shorter scale guitar, the lower tension makes this guitar particularly well-suited to a looser style of playing that includes lots of bends and vibrato.\\n3-5. Use a longer scale guitar for higher string tension.\\nWith a longer scale guitar, your strings will be tight and stiff. These guitars are typically best if you have a little experience playing guitar and prefer to play in a hard, driving style, such as hard rock or heavy metal.\\nYou might also prefer a longer scale if you have a heavy hand. The higher string tension means your strings won't fall out of tune as often.\\nTips\\nSore hands are common for beginners, especially if you're learning on an acoustic, and may have nothing to do with string tension.

On the other hand, if you feel like the strings don't have enough tension and they feel too loose and sloppy, switch to a higher gauge string or go with a longer scale guitar.

1,373 | How to Adjust Suspenders | 1. Putting the Suspenders On
1-1. Attach the suspenders to the back of your pants before putting them on.
Lay your pants out on a flat surface. If your suspenders have clips, open them by pressing on the metal where it meets the fabric. Insert the fabric at the top of your waistband between the open jaws and release the metal jaws to close around the fabric. If you have button suspenders, slide the button on the back of your belt loop through the slit in the fabric.
Clip suspenders are much more common than button suspenders. If you aren’t sure which type you have, look at the end of the straps. If the straps have metal pieces, you have clip suspenders. If the ends have pieces of fabric with slits in them, you have button suspenders.
If you have Y-shaped suspenders where there is only strap on the back, attach it to the middle of your waist line. For standard suspenders, clip each strap 6–12 inches (15–30 cm) away from the center belt loop on the back based on what is comfortable for you. If you have a broad back and you’re taller, start closer to the 12 in (30 cm) mark. If you’re on the shorter side, 6–8 in (15–20 cm) is probably going to be more comfortable.
The buttons for button suspenders are typically located inside of the waist line. On some pants, they will be on the exterior side between your belt loops.
1-2. Put your pants on and let the straps hang behind you.
Make sure that the horizontal slide adjusters are facing the right direction before putting your pants on. The slide adjusters are the horizontal parts of metal that you use to adjust the suspenders. These adjusters should face out when you’re wearing suspenders, so they’ll face the back of your legs as they hang behind you. Readjust the clamps on the back of the waist line as needed and put your pants on.
If your pants start sliding down, feel free to do this while sitting down.
1-3. Slide the straps over your shoulders and attach them to the front of your pants.
Reach behind you and grab the suspender straps. Slide them over your shoulders and turn them as needed to make the fabric flat against your skin. Clip or button your suspenders to your waist line in the front.
If you have clip suspenders, it’s up to you where to attach them on your waist line. Typically, the suspender straps should rest on, or just outside of, your nipples.
If you have button suspenders, look for the buttons on the front that are similar in shape and size to the buttons on the back of your pants.
2. Adjusting the Straps
2-1. Lift the clamp on each slide adjuster to unlock the straps.
Apply pressure to the side of each clip and push it up and away from you. The clamps will click and pop open. This means that your straps are now unlocked and you can adjust the tightness of each strap.
Some suspenders have belt clips instead of clamps on the slide adjusters. You do not need to unlock these straps. Belt clip suspenders tend to be easier to adjust, but they’re generally considered less formal than standard suspenders.
2-2. Adjust the position of the slide adjuster by sliding it up or down.
The location of the slide makes it easier to make minor adjustments, so slide it up or down based on what’s comfortable and where you want to make your adjustments from. Pull each slide adjuster up or down on the fabric to change its vertical position on each strap.
Most people put them 6–8 inches (15–20 cm) below the chest, but this is completely up to you based on what feels and looks good.
Keep both slide adjusters at the same height.
You cannot move the slide adjusters around when they’re locked.
2-3. Raise the fabric under the clamp up to loosen the strap.
Hold the slide adjuster in place with one hand and grab the fabric under the slide adjuster with your other hand. Slide the fabric up through the slide adjuster to loosen the strap.
On suspenders with belt clips, you can move the fabric underneath the slide adjuster freely by forcing it through the belt clip. You cannot move the belt clip freely without changing the tightness of the suspenders.
2-4. Bring the fabric under the clamp down to tighten the strap.
To tighten the suspender straps, hold the slide adjuster in place with one hand. Grip the fabric under the slide adjuster with your other hand. Pull the fabric up through the slide adjuster to tighten the strap.
If the strap feels tighter on your back after doing this, lift your suspender straps up and set them back down to reset the tension.
2-5. Close the clamps on the slide adjusters to keep the straps in place.
Once your straps feel comfortable but tight, lock them in place to keep the strap from loosening. Press the clamp down until you hear a click. Once the suspenders are locked, the straps will stay in place.
If you have belt clips instead of clamps, you do not need to do this. This style of suspender is known to loosen up from time to time.
Tips
Suspenders with thinner straps tend to be trendier than thicker straps, which are usually 1.5 in (3.8 cm) or wider.
It is considered unstylish to wear suspenders and a belt at the same time.
If you’re wearing a suit, your suspenders should generally match the color of your suit jacket. You can mix it up and go for complementary color combinations if you’re going for a trendier look.

1,374 | How to Adjust Timing | 1. Understanding Ignition Timing
1-1. Learn if your car needs to be adjusted or not.
Modern cars that are controlled by electronic ignitions don't need to have their timing adjusted, but old-style 4-stroke engines require that the timing be adjusted periodically to optimize the efficiency of the engine, making sure that the spark fires at the appropriate moment in the ignition cycle.
If you hear telltale signs of the timing of your car not being quite right, such as pinging, backfiring, or if the car runs too rich or too lean, you will need to either take it to a mechanic or adjust the timing yourself.
1-2. Understand the ignition cycle.
The four "strokes" in the 4-cycle engine refer to the process of intake, compression, power, and exhaust. The timing of the ignition refers to the point between the compression and the power strokes at which the spark plug fires, creating the combustion that results in your horsepower, forcing the piston down into the cylinder.
When the piston comes up during the compression stroke, just before the piston gets to the top of its compression stroke (which is called "top dead center"), the spark plug should fire. Over time, this tends to get misaligned somewhat, resulting in a less-than-optimum spark plug firing time. The distance before the "top dead" center is the ignition timing, and it's represented by a row of graded numbers on the balancer or flywheel through an access hole.
1-3. Learn the ignition timing number.
Look for the ruler-style row of numbers on the front of the engine's harmonic balancer (or flywheel), which should have numbers above and below zero. Typically, when your car comes from the manufacturer, ignition base idle timing is set to a manufacture specification before top dead center. The timing advances as the engine's speed accelerates, however, resulting in a variable that will need to be periodically adjusted using a timing light.
Numbers to the left of zero on the timing tape refer to the piston as it travels down, while numbers to the right of zero refer to the piston's upward motion. Moving the wheel right is called "advancing" the timing, while moving the wheel left is "moving back" the timing.
2. Checking Your Timing
2-1. Hook up your timing light or timing gun.
Hook your timing gun up to the power and ground terminals on your car's battery, and hook the sensor that accompanies the timing gun to your number one cylinder spark plug wire. Follow the instructions particular to the timing light you're using to hook it up properly.
The "gun" works by illuminating the timing marks in a strobe fashion as it spins, allowing you to see the point at which the spark plug is firing on the timing index. When the spark plug fires, the sensor sends a signal to the light, which strobes in the gun, illuminating the numbers at the proper moment.
2-2. Have a helper rev the engine.
To check your timing number and see how it is firing, have someone rev the engine while you illuminate the timing numbers with your light. You obviously want to make sure the car is in neutral, and keep your hands a safe distance from the engine as it revs.
2-3. Shine the light directly onto the harmonic balancer and find the number.
Though the wheel is turning, the light should seem to "freeze" it at a particular number. This is the timing number. Note the number of degrees to the right or left of zero.
As the RPMs increase, the point at which the spark plug is firing should also increase somewhat. This is normal, because ignition works on a curve, allowing for the speed increase and adjusting the timing accordingly.
To check for total timing, you want to be sure to rev the engine to at least 3500 RPMs. This will allow you to make sure the curve of the ignition timing is being set, as well as the initial timing.
2-4. Account for vacuum timing, if necessary.
If your car features vacuum timing advance in addition to mechanical timing, and you'll need to loosen the distributor adjustment bolt before you start the engine. Next, remove the vacuum advance hose from the carburetor and plug it with a rag to check your timing.
Vacuum timing works by making minor adjustments at at low RPM by rotating slightly to adjust for the timing.
2-5. Adjust the timing, if necessary.
Now that you've found your ignition timing number, how do you know if you need to adjust it? All models of cars will have differing timing values, depending on the year it was manufactured and the variety of transmission used. To learn whether or not you need to adjust your timing, find the optimum timing number for your make and model and adjust if necessary.
If you don't know your timing number, talk to a licensed mechanic or employee at your local auto parts store to consult their manuals and find the proper timing number.
3. Adjusting the Timing
3-1. Loosen the bolt that secures the engine's distributor enough so that the distributor can be turned.
To adjust your timing, all you need to do is turn the distributor housing one direction or the other, depending on whether or not you want to advance or move back the timing.
If the rotor turns clockwise, you'll advance the timing by rotating the distributor counterclockwise, and vice versa. It'll take some touch to get it right, so it helps to have someone to rev the engine, check the number, and twist the distributor.
3-2. Adjust while the engine is at idle speed.
Grab the distributor firmly and rotate it slowly to one side or the other. Continue rotating until the timing mark is in the correct position. Align the timing marks by continuing to move the distributor and checking with your timing light. When you've got it set where you want it, lock it back down by tightening the distributor bolts. Reconnect vacuum hoses.
3-3. When in doubt, total timing should be somewhere between 34 and 36 degrees.
A typical small-block Chevy's timing curve needs to be set somewhere in this range for maximum performance, when the engine is being revved at 3500 RPM. At this point, the timing should stop advancing and should remain steady.
Total timing minus your base timing number should meet your engine specification for total advance degrees. If the number is not as specified then you may have a distributor mechanical advance problem.
3-4. Tighten the distributor bolt when you are satisfied the timing is set correctly.
Tips
Clean the timing mark index on the harmonic balancer and mark the top dead center mark with a white or yellow paint marker to make it easier to view.
It is always a good idea to clean your car's parts after you remove them and check for wear before reinstalling them.
Remember that you are working under the hood of your car with the engine both off and on. Be sure to take the necessary safety precautions such as wearing close-toed shoes and gloves and not wearing loose clothing that could get caught in a moving part under the hood of your car.
Warnings
The distributor is handling high ignition voltage. A damaged distributor or worn spark plug wires can deliver a painful shock when handling it with the engine running.
Be sure to allow your car's engine to cool before beginning any work on removing parts that might be hot.

1,375 | How to Adjust Toilet Tank Handles | 1. Steps
1-1. Look at the bigger picture.
The flush handle is just one part of the system called the 'flush mechanism', which allows water to flow from the tank to the bowl in a way that creates a flush. Problems that you notice in the handle are often due to a part else where in the mechanism, so its important to know how they all fit together. So go ahead and carefully remove the tank lid and peek in. There are 5 parts that make up the flush mechanism for you to identify.
The Flush Handle is what you push down on to create a flush. It is the effort arm of the flush lever.
The Trip Lever is the bar inside the tank, and attached to the Flush Handle. Pushing down on the handle makes the Trip Lever pull up on Flapper Chain. It is the load arm of the flush lever.
The Flush Lever Nut is the lock nut inside the tank that holds the Flush Lever in place where it enters the tank.
The Flapper Chain is the chain that connects the Trip Lever to the Flapper. When the Trip Lever is raised, the chain allows it to pull on the Flapper.
The Flapper is the part covering the Flapper Valve near the bottom of the tank. It is pulled up by the Trip Lever to let just enough water flow through the valve.
1-2. Examine your flush handle.
The problem you feel or see in the handle is very rarely a problem with the handle itself. Look at how your handle sticks out of the tank. If it looks too far in or out, or if it is wobbly, you might either have the wrong type of flush lever or a loose flush lever nut. The handle will be mounted one of six ways: on the front, side, or corner of the tank, and may be on the left or right side. If your flush lever seems to fit incorrectly, check the Handle product name or number online to see if it is compatible with your mount and tank type.
1-3. Examine the flush lever nut.
Grasp the lock nut with your hand, and, from your perspective, turn it clockwise, from your left to your right, until it feels tight. This will keep your flush lever from becoming wobbly, which could cause an incomplete flush. If it is broken or stripped, it will have to be replaced.
1-4. Shut off the water supply.
This may seem like common knowledge to some, but every plumber has forgotten this step at least once. Find the water shutoff valve, which is the almost always near the floor to the left of the toilet when you are facing it. Turn its head clockwise, from left to right, until it stops to shut off water supply to the toilet.
1-5. Drain the water.
Now that the water supply is off, no more water should flow in to refill your tank. Press on the flush handle to let most of the water out into the bowl. There will be some left in the bottom of the tank however, as the flapper valve is not on the floor of the tank. You can remove this water by soaking it up with sponges or towels, or by using a siphon of some sort. You now have full access to your tank system and a decreased risk of soaking your bathroom.
1-6. Examine the flapper chain.
There are a few types of flapper chains, but they all serve the same basic function. Make sure that it is connected to flapper and trip lever, it is not broken, and none of its links are bent out of shape. If the links have been bent, try to bend them back carefully with needle nose pliers. If it has simply come disconnected, find the hook or closing loop connector on the ends. Connect the more angled hook or the closing loop to one of the holes in the Lever, and the other end to the loop on the flapper. Move the Lever connector to different holes until you get as close as possible to about a half inch, or 1.27 cm, of slack. If the flapper chain has a flapper chain float, make sure its attached to the chain by the circle clips on either side of it. Adjust it closer to the flapper to gradually increase the size and duration of the flush it they are normally to short or weak.
1-7. Examine the trip lever.
Make sure the lever is not notably too long, broken, or bent up and down. Some Trip Levers are meant to be trimmed down or bent horizontally in order to fit effectively in different types of tanks. If it is metal and bent, try to bend it back with a pair of pliers or an adjustable wrench. If it is plastic and too long, you can try to trim it down with a hacksaw. If, while the Lever is at rest, the chain is taught still, attempt to bend the Lever closer or you must replace the lever or chain. Push the Handle down and watch how the rising of the Lever affects the chain and flapper. The chain should start slightly slack, and become taught after the lever raises approximately a half of an inch. After that, the flapper should raise with the lever.
1-8. Examine the flapper.
If, by this time, you are still having an issue with water level, refill speed, flush size, or the chain not moving, the problem, if it lies within the flush mechanism, will most certainly lie within the Flapper. There are a multitude of Flappers, but they all end up with the same problems and require the same fix. If the tank water level is constantly low, takes a very long time to refill, or flushes are incomplete, your flapper might be leaking. If the these problems occur when the chain is slack and the flapper is at rest, you should first examine and adjust the refill mechanism for the long refills and low tank water level, but replace the flapper is they persist.
1-9. Buy and install replacement parts.
Make sure you check new parts for compatibility within the remaining parts and toilet. There may be parts that classify as 'OEM', standing for 'Original Equipment Manufacturer' and 'will-fit'. If it is an OEM, it means that the toilet company for one toilet brand decided to have it incorporated with an existing part from a part manager under the toilet company's brand. If it is will-fit, the company of that brand made that product specifically for that brand of toilet. This means that you can find OEM parts to be almost identical and cheaper than the will-fit parts. However, the will-fit parts sometimes out perform the OEM part. If you have a choice, decide upon which would be best.
1-10. Turn the water supply on.
Now that you have successfully adjusted and improved your flush system, its time to allow the water to flow through it once again.
1-11. Wash your hands.
Toilets aren't clean, you know?
Tips
Most people will tell you that the water should be turned off first, but it is not necessary before you examine the Trip Lever, and it may be helpful to note how your flushes affect the water level before and after Flush Lever Nut adjustments.
You may turn the water on and off between steps to check changes in flushing, but note that the water will run into the bowl if the Flapper is not sealed properly on the Flapper Valve.
If you cannot flush the water with the Flush Handle, pull on the Flapper Chain or the Flapper to open the Flapper Valve and release the water.
Warnings
Move the tank lid with care, as they are quite expensive and can break easily.
I know that DIY is your style, but please search for other ways to make a siphon for the leftover tank water that don't include the risk of swallowing it.
Be gentle with the Flush Handle Nut, as its threading is reversed, and it is usually made of a softer plastic that is known to occasionally break or strip if you use a tool.
If you are using or are planning to use a tank cleaner, check to make sure that it will not corrode your parts.
Avoid using tools upon plastic pieces of the toilet, as the plastic is often cheap and brittle
Do not turn the water supply back on if you have removed the Fill Valve or Fill Valve Cap, as the water can then enter the tank fast enough to create a toilet fountain.
Do not try to bend a plastic Trip Lever, or saw a metal Trip Lever.

Examine the flapper chain.\\nThere are a few types of flapper chains, but they all serve the same basic function. Make sure that it is connected to flapper and trip lever, it is not broken, and none of its links are bent out of shape. If the links have been bent, try to bend them back carefully with needle nose pliers. If it has simply come disconnected, find the hook or closing loop connector on the ends. Connect the more angled hook or the closing loop to one of the holes in the Lever, and the other end to the loop on the flapper. Move the Lever connector to different holes until you get as close as possible to about a half inch, or 1.27 cm, of slack. If the flapper chain has a flapper chain float, make sure its attached to the chain by the circle clips on either side of it. Adjust it closer to the flapper to gradually increase the size and duration of the flush it they are normally to short or weak.\\n1-7. Examine the trip lever.\\nMake sure the lever is not notably too long, broken, or bent up and down. Some Trip Levers are meant to be trimmed down or bent horizontally in order to fit effectively in different types of tanks. If it is metal and bent, try to bend it back with a pair of pliers or an adjustable wrench. If it is plastic and too long, you can try to trim it down with a hacksaw. If, while the Lever is at rest, the chain is taught still, attempt to bend the Lever closer or you must replace the lever or chain. Push the Handle down and watch how the rising of the Lever affects the chain and flapper. The chain should start slightly slack, and become taught after the lever raises approximately a half of an inch. After that, the flapper should raise with the lever.\\n1-8. Examine the flapper.\\nIf, by this time, you are still having an issue with water level, refill speed, flush size, or the chain not moving, the problem, if it lies within the flush mechanism, will most certainly lie within the Flapper. There are a multitude of Flappers, but they all end up with the same problems and require the same fix. If the tank water level is constantly low, takes a very long time to refill, or flushes are incomplete, your flapper might be leaking. If the these problems occur when the chain is slack and the flapper is at rest, you should first examine and adjust the refill mechanism for the long refills and low tank water level, but replace the flapper is they persist.\\n1-9. Buy and install replacement parts.\\nMake sure you check new parts for compatibility within the remaining parts and toilet. There may be parts that classify as 'OEM', standing for 'Original Equipment Manufacturer' and 'will-fit'. If it is an OEM, it means that the toilet company for one toilet brand decided to have it incorporated with an existing part from a part manager under the toilet company's brand. If it is will-fit, the company of that brand made that product specifically for that brand of toilet. This means that you can find OEM parts to be almost identical and cheaper than the will-fit parts. However, the will-fit parts sometimes out perform the OEM part. If you have a choice, decide upon which would be best.\\n1-10. Turn the water supply on.\\nNow that you have successfully adjusted and improved your flush system, its time to allow the water to flow through it once again.\\n1-11. Wash your hands.\\nToilets aren't clean, you know?\\nTips\\nMost people will tell you that the water should be turned off first, but it is not necessary before you examine the Trip Lever, and it may be helpful to note how your flushes affect the water level before and after Flush Lever Nut adjustments.\\nYou may turn the water on and off between steps to check changes in flushing, but note that the water will run into the bowl if the Flapper is not sealed properly on the Flapper Valve.\\nIf you cannot flush the water with the Flush Handle, pull on the Flapper Chain or the Flapper to open the Flapper Valve and release the water.\\nWarnings\\nMove the tank lid with care, as they are quite expensive and can break easily.\\nI know that DIY is your style, but please search for other ways to make a siphon for the leftover tank water that don't include the risk of swallowing it.\\nBe gentle with the Flush Handle Nut, as its threading is reversed, and it is usually made of a softer plastic that is known to occasionally break or strip if you use a tool.\\nIf you are using or are planning to use a tank cleaner, check to make sure that it will not corrode your parts.\\nAvoid using tools upon plastic pieces of the toilet, as the plastic is often cheap and brittle\\nDo not turn the water supply back on if you have removed the Fill Valve or Fill Valve Cap, as the water can then enter the tank fast enough to create a toilet fountain.\\nDo not try to bend a plastic Trip Lever, or saw a metal Trip Lever.\\n\", \"简要回答\": \"To most toilet-users, the toilet's handle is one of the few parts that they will directly interact with, perhaps second only to the toilet's lid and seat, which seems to be less appreciated and utilized by men, often to their spouse's dismay. This crucial mechanism, also known as the 'flush handle', serves a humble but crucial role in the rather unexpectedly complex system that is housed within the average homeowner's flushing gravity toilet: It is the effort arm of the flush lever, the part that releases the flushing water from the tank, to the bowl, and down the output pipe leading to the sewer, septic tank, neighbor's swimming pool, etc. The point is, the toilet handle allows people to move their bodily waste far away from themselves and others without having to risk coming in contact with it. However, there's more than just one type of toilet handle, and each will require a different touch in order to keep your porcelain throne in top shape.\", \"结构\": {\"方法\": [{\"编号\": 1, \"标题\": \"Steps\", \"步骤\": [{\"编号\": 1, \"标题\": \"Look at the bigger picture.\", \"描述\": \"The flush handle is just one part of the system called the 'flush mechanism', which allows water to flow from the tank to the bowl in a way that creates a flush. Problems that you notice in the handle are often due to a part else where in the mechanism, so its important to know how they all fit together. So go ahead and carefully remove the tank lid and peek in. There are 5 parts that make up the flush mechanism for you to identify.\\nThe Flush Handle is what you push down on to create a flush. It is the effort arm of the flush lever.\\nThe Trip Lever is the bar inside the tank, and attached to the Flush Handle. Pushing down on the handle makes the Trip Lever pull up on Flapper Chain. It is the load arm of the flush lever.\\nThe Flush Lever Nut is the lock nut inside the tank that holds the Flush Lever in place where it enters the tank.\\nThe Flapper Chain is the chain that connects the Trip Lever to the Flapper. When the Trip Lever is raised, the chain allows it to pull on the Flapper.\\nThe Flapper is the part covering the Flapper Valve near the bottom of the tank.

The handle will be mounted one of six ways: on the front, side, or corner of the tank, and may be on the left or right side.

1,376 | How to Adjust Valves on an Aircooled Volkswagon (VW) Beetle | 1. Steps
1-1. Determine valve clearance based on year:
1954 ~ 1960 (36HP) (Intake - .004") (Exhaust - .004")
1961 ~ 1965 (40HP) (Intake - .008") (Exhaust - .012")
1966 & Up (Intake - .006") (Exhaust - .006")
1-2. Assemble the required items:
19mm / 21mm wrench
13mm wrench
Medium sized flat bladed screwdriver.
feeler gauge (see above)
2 new valve cover gaskets
1-3. Remove both valve covers by placing the screwdriver under the center of the valve cover bails (wire clips holding on the valve covers) and prying downward.
If you have AC, you may need to slip a shop rag through the bail and give both ends a sharp snap downward to get the bail loose.
The bail will move downward releasing the tension on the cover and you'll be able to work the cover off. Some oil will drip down at this point, don't worry, it will be a small amount.
Once it finishes dripping, use a rag to clean it off the heat exchangers.
1-4. Remove the distributor cap.
The cap is held on by 2 clips, insert the screwdriver toward the top of the clip between the clip and the cap, gently pry outward and the clip will pop off the notches in the cap.
Don't remove the wires or the rotor inside the cap, just pull the cap up off the distributor and place it to the side suspended by the spark plug wires.
1-5. Use the 19mm or 21mm wrench to turn the engine over by the generator / alternator pulley bolt (bolt holding the upper fan belt pulley on).
If the belt is loose, it may slip as you turn the bolt, when this happens, grab both sides of the belt as it enters and exits the upper pulley and squeeze them together with one hand.
Use the wrench to turn the pulley with the other, this will increase the tension enough to turn the engine over by this method.
1-6. Start the valve adjustment with cylinder #1, the forward most cylinder located on the passenger side of the vehicle.
1-7. Place #1 cylinder at top dead center (TDC).
Do this by watching the distributor rotor.
There is a small notch (oriented at about 4 o'clock) cut into the top edge of the distributor where the cap meets the metal distributor body. Rotate the engine until the rotor is pointing directly at the notch.
When it is lined up, look down at the crankshaft pulley (large pulley at the lower end of the fan belt). There will be a notch cut on the inside edge of the pulley that lines up with the split in the center of the engine case. It's a good idea to paint the notch with a small amount of visible paint (whiteout works for this but doesn't last). Line the notch up with the split, your engine is now at TDC for cylinder #1.
1-8. Using the feeler gauge, measure the gap between the adjusting screw and the top of the valve for both the intake and exhaust.
Sometimes the gauge won't fit between the adjuster and the valve stem, in that case break the lock nut loose on the adjustment screw, loosen the screw one turn and insert the feeler gauge.
If it requires more than one turn to get the gauge inserted, double-check TDC.
1-9. Once the gauge is inserted in to the gap, tighten the adjusting screw gradually while sliding the gauge back and forth until there is a noticeable “drag".
1-10. Hold the screw in its location with a screwdriver and tighten the nut with the 13mm wrench.
Do not over tighten the lock nut.
It should be tight, not overly tight.
1-11. Once you have completed both the intake and exhaust valves for cylinder #1, you are ready to move to the next cylinder.
1-12. You must relocate each cylinder to TDC point.
At the rear of the car using the 19mm or 21mm wrench, turn the engine so the crankshaft (large) pulley turns 1/2 turn or 180 degrees.
There will be another notch on the pulley exactly 180 degrees or halfway around from #1's TDC point.
Line the notch up with the split, your engine is now at TDC for cylinder #2.
1-13. Repeat the adjustment procedure on cylinder # 2.
1-14. Rotate the crankshaft another 1/2 turn counter-clockwise until the original notch is lined up with the split in the case, adjust cylinder #3.
1-15. Repeat the adjustment procedure on cylinder # 3.
1-16. Rotate the crankshaft another 1/2 turn counter-clockwise and adjust cylinder #4.
1-17. Replace the distributor cap, ensure the cap clicks into the locating notch in the distributor housing, and set the hold down clips.
1-18. [[Image:Adjust Valves on an Aircooled Volkswagon (VW) Beetle Step 18.jpg||center Remove any traces of the valve cover gasket from the head and valve covers.
Place the new gasket into a valve covers and place the cover on the head.
Lift up the bale till it clicks into the notch in the valve cover, A screwdriver may be required to get it the last of the way on.
1-19. Clean the bottom of the engine, remove all oil residue and recheck the oil, add as necessary.
1-20. Start the engine and listen for loud tappet noise (clicking at idle).
If it is present, you may have mis-adjusted one of the valves.
1-21. Check for oil leaks.
Warnings
The adjustment of each cylinder's valves must be done at top dead center for that cylinder. Failure to place the engine in a specific location will result in maladjusted valves and possible engine damage if it's run.
A correct one adjustment will last over several 10.000 mls : the only valves to correct the adjustment will be mostly the both of cyl. #3 due to higher thermic problems. Respecting this aspect an engine can run for several 100.000 mls without problems, regular oil changing incl.

1,377 | How to Adjust a Water Pressure Regulator | 1. Find the water pressure regulator on your supply line.
Look for the regulator on the line that supplies water to your home.
Usually, this line comes in through the basement or the crawlspace, or wherever your water heater is stored. The water pressure regulator is a bell-shaped piece of hardware that’s attached to the main water line.
The water pressure regulator is used to lower the water pressure as it comes into your home. Most urban water lines start at 150 to 200 pounds per square inch (psi), which is way too much pressure for a residential home.
2. Check out the specifications on the water pressure regulator.
The label on the regulator will tell you the ideal psi for your home.
After you find the water pressure regulator, take a moment to read the label on the side or the back. Write down the optimal psi, which is usually between 40 and 60. This will give you a guideline for how low or high you want to adjust your own water pressure.
Setting your water pressure too high can lead to leaking pipes and even explosions. Be sure your water pressure stays within the optimal psi to avoid any damages to your home.
3. Attach a water pressure gauge to an outdoor faucet.
Use a water pressure gauge to find the current pressure in your home.
You can buy a water pressure gauge online, or you can find them at your local hardware store. Attach the gauge to a threaded faucet, like an outdoor hookup or a utility sink. Run the tap for about 30 seconds, and then write down the pressure on the gauge.
For residential homes, optimal water pressure is usually between 40 to 50 psi. If yours is above 50, you can lower it; if it’s below 50, you can raise it.
4. Loosen the locknut with a wrench.
Unscrew the top locknut to access the adjusting bolt.
Take a look at the water pressure regulator: you’ll notice a locknut at the very top. Grab a wrench or a pair of pliers and turn the locknut clockwise to loosen it.
Old locknuts tend to loosen over time. If you notice that your water pressure is really high, it may be because your locknut is loose. You can replace it with a new locknut to tighten your adjusting bolt if you need to.
5. Turn the bolt clockwise to increase the pressure.
Use a wrench to loosen the bolt.
If your goal is to increase your water pressure, grab a wrench and place it around the adjusting bolt. Turn it clockwise in short quarter turns to adjust the pressure little by little.
It’s better to adjust slowly than trying to increase the pressure too quickly. You can always go back and increase the water pressure more if you need to.
6. Turn the bolt counterclockwise to reduce the pressure.
Use a wrench to tighten the bolt to reduce pressure.
Place your wrench around the adjusting bolt, then slowly tighten it in quarter turns to reduce your water pressure. Go slowly to adjust the pressure little by little.
7. Check the water pressure gauge again.
Look at your water pressure gauge to see how much it changed.
Once you’ve made your adjustments, head back to the tap that has your water pressure gauge and run the water for about 30 seconds. If your pressure is where it needs to be, then you’re good to go!
If you need to make a few more adjustments, turn the tap off and use your wrench to tighten or loosen the adjusting bolt again.
8. Tighten the locknut to secure the water pressure regulator.
Secure the adjusting bolt in place with the locknut.
Once your water pressure is right where you want it to be, use a wrench or pliers to turn the locknut counter clockwise to tighten it again. Keep turning the locknut until it just barely touches the top of the adjusting bolt to keep it in place.
Pressing the locknut and the bolt head too close together can damage them.
9. Call a professional if your water pressure doesn’t change.
You may need a professional plumber’s help if your regulator is broken.
Sometimes, low or high water pressure can indicate a problem within your water main. If you’ve adjusted your water pressure regulator and it fluctuates, drops, or raises on its own, call a plumber to come out and take a look.
You may also need to replace your water pressure regulator. A professional can determine how old it is and if it needs to be replaced.

1,378 | How to Adjust Water pH | 1. Adjusting pH for Fish, Plants, Pools, and Drinking
1-1. Treat your drinking water if it’s acidic or basic.
The water that you drink should be neutral, with a pH value at (or very close to) 7. If you’ve tested the pH of your drinking water and found that it’s acidic or basic, make adjustments to balance the water’s pH. If the drinking water is acidic (low pH number), add pH drops or tablets to neutralize the acid. Alternately, if your drinking water is basic (high pH number), add a few drops of lemon juice, which is naturally acidic.
If you’d like the pH level to be permanently adjusted, you can have a permanent water filtration system installed. If your water is basic, install a neutralizing filter or a soda ash/sodium hydroxide injection system.
If your water is acidic, professionals from a local home-supply store can install an acid-injection system to your house’s water supply.
1-2. Change the pH of tap water for your houseplants or garden.
Most houseplants thrive when given slightly acidic water, between 5.5 and 6.5. If you’ve measured your tap water and found that it’s basic (or too acidic), you’ll need to adjust the water’s pH level before watering your plants. Lime or wood ash can be added to a 1 gallon (3.8 L) container of water to raise the pH. To lower the pH, add phosphoric acid or a tablet designed to lower water pH.
If you’re unsure about the ideal pH level for the specific type of plant you’re watering, check online or at a local plant nursery. Some plants are very pH sensitive and need water at an exact pH level. For example, onions thrive when given more basic water at a pH of 6.5-7.0.
Consult your local plant nursery to determine the exact amount of pH-altering substances to add. You can also buy lime, wood, ash, and phosphoric acid or other pH-lowering substances at the nursery.
If you repeatedly water plants with water outside of the 5.5–6.5 range, they will begin to wither and die.
1-3. Add peat to your fish tank to adjust the pH.
Fish are very sensitive to the pH in their water and can die if the water becomes too acidic or too basic. Most species of fish thrive in relatively neutral water, close to 7 on the pH scale. If the water has become too basic, add peat moss to lower the pH. If the water is too acidic, add 1 teaspoon (4.9 mL) of baking soda per every 5 gallons (19 L) of water to raise the pH.
Look online or visit a local pet store to find out the specific water-level pH needs of the breeds of fish you have. For example, if you’re keeping koi fish, they prefer basic water with a pH range between 7.5 and 8.2.
You can purchase clumps of peat at your local pet store. Put 1 clump of peat into a mesh bag, and place this inside of your fish tank’s water filter. The peat will lower the acid level over time.
Rapid changes in pH can have a harmful effect on your fish. Remove the fish from your tank before adjusting the pH.
Test the pH level in your fish tank both before and after making an adjustment. Also test pH before and after altering pH levels in pools or drinking water, as per the relevant section of this article.
1-4. Adjust the pH in your pool.
Swimming pools should be maintained at a slightly basic pH, between 7.2 and 7.8. The pH in pools tends to rise on its own, so you’ll likely need to lower the pool pH from time to time. Pool manufacturers make chemical substances for this purpose. The 2 most common are sodium bisulfate and muriatic acid. Either substance should be added directly to the pool water.
For more detailed instructions on raising or lowering the pH level in your pool, consult the manufacturer’s recommendations for your specific model.
You can purchase sodium bisulfate (also called “dry acid”) or muriatic acid at any pool supply store.
2. Doing Water pH Experiments at Home
2-1. Add 1 teaspoon (4.9 mL) of baking soda to an 8 oz (230 g) glass of water.
Baking soda is basic, with a pH value of 9. Drop 1 teaspoon (4.9 mL) of it into a glass of water, and then stir briskly with a spoon or whisk. Keep stirring until all of the crumbs of baking soda have dissolved. Then, measure the water’s pH again using a litmus strip.
If you started with neutral water (pH 7), the water’s pH should have increased up to about 8.
2-2. Add 1 teaspoon (4.9 mL) of lemon juice to a glass of water.
Mix the 2 liquids together using a spoon. Then dip a strip of litmus paper into the water. Wait a few seconds, and note how the pH level of the water has changed.
Since lemon juice is acidic, with a pH value of 2, the pH level of a neutral glass of water should have lowered to a 6 or 5.
2-3. Experiment with various other basic and acidic materials.
Many common liquids and dissolvable substances found around the home will alter the pH level of water. Dissolve or mix a small amount of one substance at a time into a glass of clean water, and then test with a litmus strip. If you’re performing a science experiment, make a chart on which you can record the pH values of water with different substances added, each to a separate glass of water. Try adding:
Coke.
Red wine.
Milk.
Liquid soap or shampoo.
3. Measuring Water pH with Test Strips
3-1. Purchase pH testing strips.
pH testing strips—also called litmus strips—are thin, small sheets of paper, each about 2 inches (5.1 cm) long by ⁄2 inch (1.3 cm) wide. They are coated with a chemical solution which changes color when exposed to basic or acidic substances. pH strips can be purchased at most health-food stores or at any science supply store.
You can also purchase pH strips at major online retailers, or at most pet-supply stores.
3-2. Dip 1 pH strip in a sample of water for 10 seconds.
Place about 1 inch (2.5 cm) of the pH strip into water. Dip either side; the entire strip is pH sensitive. Be sure to keep a firm hold on one end of the strip, though, so that it doesn’t slip into the water you’re planning to measure.
For example, draw a glass of water from your tap if you’re trying to ascertain the pH of the drinking water.
Or, if you’re trying to adjust the pH level in a fish tank, dip a strip into the water at the top of the tank.
Alternately, you can use a water dropper to place 1 or 2 drops of water directly onto the center of the litmus strip.
3-3. Observe what color the pH strip turns.
Once the pH strip has been submerged for at least 10 seconds, pull it out and look at the end. The pH strip will have changed color to indicate the presence of base or acid in the water.
If the color of the strip doesn’t change immediately, wait a few seconds.
3-4. Compare the pH strip to a pH color indicator.
Your pH testing kit should have come with a color chart. The chart indicates the color that litmus paper will turn when exposed to a basic or acidic substance. Match the color of the pH strip to a color on the chart, and you’ll have a good idea of the water’s pH.
In broad terms, a red litmus strip indicates highly acidic water, yellow indicates mildly acidic, green indicates mildly basic, and purple indicates highly basic.
3-5. Gauge pH levels using a digital probe reader for more accurate data.
Litmus strips are a quick and effective gauge of pH levels, but are not the most precise method of measurement. A digital probe reader (often called a “pH meter”) is a much more accurate device. Unlike test strips, it will determine the pH of a liquid to 2 decimal places. To use the pH meter, submerge the tip of the instrument in water until the display shows the pH reading.
pH meters are commonly used in science labs and can be purchased or rented through science-supply stores.
The pH meter may need to be re-calibrated between each usage. Follow the printed directions included with the meter for best results.
Tips
pH is measured on a scale from 0 to 14: substances with a pH value of 0 are extremely acidic, substances with a value of 14 are highly basic, and substances with a value of 7 are neither basic nor acidic.
Warnings
Take precautions if you’re experimenting with different acidic and basic substances. Protect your eyes with safety goggles, and wear rubber or latex gloves to cover your hands. Some substances, like hydrochloric acid (pH 1) or sodium hydroxide (pH 14) are caustic and can burn your skin or eyes.

To lower the pH, add phosphoric acid or a tablet designed to lower water pH.\\nIf you’re unsure about the ideal pH level for the specific type of plant you’re watering, check online or at a local plant nursery. Some plants are very pH sensitive and need water at an exact pH level. For example, onions thrive when given more basic water at a pH of 6.5-7.0.\\nConsult your local plant nursery to determine the exact amount of pH-altering substances to add. You can also buy lime, wood, ash, and phosphoric acid or other pH-lowering substances at the nursery.\\nIf you repeatedly water plants with water outside of the 5.5–6.5 range, they will begin to wither and die.\"}, {\"编号\": 3, \"标题\": \"Add peat to your fish tank to adjust the pH.\", \"描述\": \"Fish are very sensitive to the pH in their water and can die if the water becomes too acidic or too basic. Most species of fish thrive in relatively neutral water, close to 7 on the pH scale. If the water has become too basic, add peat moss to lower the pH. If the water is too acidic, add 1 teaspoon (4.9 mL) of baking soda per every 5 gallons (19 L) of water to raise the pH.\\nLook online or visit a local pet store to find out the specific water-level pH needs of the breeds of fish you have. For example, if you’re keeping koi fish, they prefer basic water with a pH range between 7.5 and 8.2.\\nYou can purchase clumps of peat at your local pet store. Put 1 clump of peat into a mesh bag, and place this inside of your fish tank’s water filter. The peat will lower the acid level over time.\\nRapid changes in pH can have a harmful effect on your fish.

1,380 | How to Adjust Your Alerts on Waze | 1. Steps
1-1. Open up Waze.
The icon generally looks like a text-message smiley face icon in the center of a blue-filled box.
1-2. Open up your Waze settings.
Tap the magnifying glass in the bottom left corner.
Tap the gear icon at the top left corner (to the left of your profile picture) of the menu box that displays.
1-3. Tap the "Display & map" option, which can be found as one of the choices under the "Advanced settings" label.
1-4. Tap the "Details on map" choice.
This can be found between "Map color scheme" and "Car on map".
1-5. Look at all the choices you are given.
Although some are more necessary than others, you will be given choices such as (Other) Wazers, Traffic layer (color coded), Speed cams, Map Chats, Police, Crashes, Traffic jams, Hazards, Road constructions, Closure and Road goodies. Although you may want to keep some of them on some may just be too much and may actually impact your drive.
Road goodies include bonus points from completing special bonus Waze-driving events or reaching certain milestones.
Map chats are seldom found in some areas but are necessary if a Waze Map Editor comes to it. If you aren't a Waze Map Editor, you may not want to keep this turn on, but it can't hurt you either way since you can't reply directly within the option box.
Traffic layer is a color-coded filter designating areas of high traffic that have been reported by other Wazers like yourself who have driven in or around this area and might even be why you have this app in the first place. With the help of other Wazers, areas of higher traffic is labeled and by turning this off you'd be better off using other navigation aids than this app.
Police, Crashes, Traffic jams, Hazards, Road construction and Closures are also good to keep on and abreast about, but can sometimes be overkill in some cities.
1-6. Tap or slide the switch to the right of the label designating which alert you'd like to wipe from being displayed on the map.
1-7. Repeat that step for as many others as you'd like.
1-8. Close out of the menu.
Tap the < in the top left corner to exit back to the Settings menu, or to close the whole "Details on map" settings and get back to the map in one tap, tap the X in the top right corner.

1,381 | How to Adjust Your Bike Seat | 1. Adjusting Seat Height
1-1. Know that a seat at the correct height leads to comfortable, even pedal strokes.
You know your seat is at the right height if you can keep your hips stable on the bike instead of rocking them back and forth to reach the bottom of the pedal stroke. When your foot is at the lowest point while pedaling, you want your knee to be slightly bent, not locked out completely straight or curved.
Your knee should be bent roughly 25 degrees. This feels similar to standing upright in an athletic position—just a slight bend is enough.
If you do not have access to measuring tape, use this as your guideline for adjusting the seat height by hand: knee slightly bent, hips square while riding, and comfortable ability to pedal.
1-2. Measure your pubic bone height.
Get some adhesive tape, a metal measuring tape, and 2 paint sticks or rulers. Trap the end of the measuring tape between the paint sticks and tape them together. Plant your bare feet flat on the floor, 10 inches (25 cm) apart. Insert the paint sticks between your legs perpendicular to your hips and pull them straight up until you hit your pubic bone. Hold the sticks firmly in place, with one hand in front of your crotch and the other behind your rear. Have a friend pull the measuring tape down to the floor and measure the distance from your pubic bone to the floor.
For an accurate measurement, your friend should position the measuring tape midway between your feet. It may be helpful to mark off the 10 inches (25 cm) on the floor so that you can position your feet and the tape correctly.
Measure at least 2-3 times to make sure you get an accurate reading.
If you took the measurement in inches, convert it to centimeters. You can then calculate your saddle height by subtracting 10 to 10.5 centimeters from your pubic bone height. For example, if your PBH is 84 centimetres (33 in), your saddle height would be 73.5–74 centimetres (28.9–29.1 in).
The saddle height measurement is from the bottom bracket (where the cranks attach to the frame of your bike) to the top of the saddle.
1-3. Learn how your seat post adjusts.
Seat posts are loosened and adjusted at the junction where the seat post meets the bike frame. A quick-release lever at the base of the seat post can be pried opened and adjusted by hand. If there is a small bracket with a screw in it, you have a bolted seat post: use an Allen key or adjustable wrench to loosen the bolt just enough to move the seat post.
1-4. Adjust the seat height to your measured length.
Gently slide the seat post up or down to reach your ideal measurement. It can help to nick the post at the right height, so you can find this adjustment again if the seat slips or someone borrows the bike.
1-5. Tighten the seat firmly.
Either press the quick-release lever back down to its locked position, or re-tighten the bolts with your Allen key or adjustable wrench until there is no movement. You do not need to get it so tight that you can't undo it later. Basic hand tightness will be enough for many bikes.
If you're not sure how much to tighten the seat, check your owner's manual or the manufacturer's website for torque specifications. This is especially important if your bike has a carbon fiber seatpost or frame.
1-6. Check your measurement on a test ride.
Head out into the driveway and go for a slow test ride. Make sure you can easily reach the pedals and get onto the bike, and your knees are not locked. Try standing while you pedal to make sure you can comfortably get out of the saddle. Make sure that the seat is facing straight ahead or your riding position will be awkward and uncomfortable.
Place the ball of your foot on the pedal when you ride. There should now be a slight bend (25 degrees) in your knee when the pedal is at its lowest point. This is your optimal seat height.
If you have clip pedals or cages, make sure you use them on your test ride—they will affect your ride.
Everyone has a different body type—your pubic bone height measurement should be used as a starting point. You should then adjust the bike to fit you comfortably.
1-7. Troubleshoot any issues by moving the seat slightly up or down.
If you have knee pain, the biggest cause is usually your seat height. Depending on where the pain is, you likely have different problems. However, if the pain does not go away with seat adjustments, you should see a doctor.
If the pain is on the back of your knee, the seat is
If the pain is on the front of your knee, the seat is
Your hips should be sturdy, not rocking, while you pedal. If you slide your hips to each side with your pedal strokes, your seat is too high.
2. Adjusting Seat Placement
2-1. Know that the angle and forward position of a bike seat will affect your riding comfort.
The height of your seat isn't the only thing that matters. Seats can be slid forward and backward and angled up or down to get rid of sore spots and make a more comfortable ride. To test for the perfect fore/aft position of the seat:
While riding, stop your feet so that one pedal is at the 3:00 position (completely forward). Your foot should be flat.
Imagine a straight line coming down from the front of your knee to the ground.
This line should intersect through the middle of your pedal. In other words, your knee should be right over your pedal when in the 3:00 position.
2-2. Loosen the bolt underneath the seat to change forward/backward seat position.
On the back of the seat, pointing down at the back wheel, is a small bolt that controls the seat placement. It connects to a bracket that clamps onto small metal tubes that hold the seat in place. Loosen this bolt by turning it counter-clockwise to lower the pressure on the clamps that keep the seat in place.
2-3. Make sure the seat is far enough forward for a comfortable ride.
You should be able to comfortably reach your handlebars, and your knee should be over the pedal when your foot is at 3:00 in the pedal rotation. A good test is to try standing as you ride. If your seat is in the right position, you should be able to stand up easily without pulling or pushing on the handlebars. If you experience any of the following problems, slide the seat forward or back while the bolt is still loose:
Trouble standing or reaching for the bars and finger numbness can mean the seat is too far back.
Shoulder pain and trouble feeling comfortable going down hills can mean your seat is too far forward.
2-4. Make sure that your seat angle is level with the floor.
Use a carpenter's level to make sure the seat is flat—this evenly distributes your weight for more comfortable riding. That said, if you experience discomfort in your crotch you can adjust the seat a little, though no more than 3 degrees in either direction.
Women should typically tilt the seat slightly down for more comfort.
Men should typically tilt the seat slightly up for more comfort.
2-5. Loosen the bolts on the side of the seat to change the seat angle.
This bolt, usually on the right of the seat, allows you to easily change the angle of the seat and then tighten it in place again. Some older seats have 2 small bolts underneath the seat, one in front of the seat post and one behind, that are needed to change the seat angle. You must tighten one side to push that side up while loosening the other, almost like a see-saw.
Never make large adjustments to your seat angle. Check your seat height and forward position first, then adjust the angle slightly, if at all.
2-6. Visit a bike shop if you'd prefer a professional seat fitting.
If you're having trouble getting your seat height and angle adjusted correctly, go to your local bike shop and ask if they have a fit studio. They can help you adjust your seat more precisely so that you get a safe and comfortable fit.
Some fitting studios have sophisticated technology that can detect pressure points between your body and the saddle, allowing for extremely precise adjustments.
Tips
Bike frames come in many different sizes and styles, which can affect your riding position and comfort. A bike shop can help you identify a bike that's right for you and get it adjusted properly.
If your seat is too low, pedaling will quickly become exhausting. If your seat is too high, you are overextending your legs and rocking your hips, which could put you at risk for injury.
It is best if you adjust the seat height while wearing the shoes you plan to ride in.
Warnings
Always inspect your bike before you ride it.
Riding an ill-fitting bicycle puts you at risk of repetitive-stress injuries.
Do not raise your seat above the warning line printed on the seat post.

To test for the perfect fore/aft position of the seat:\\nWhile riding, stop your feet so that one pedal is at the 3:00 position (completely forward). Your foot should be flat.\\nImagine a straight line coming down from the front of your knee to the ground.\\nThis line should intersect through the middle of your pedal. In other words, your knee should be right over your pedal when in the 3:00 position.\\n2-2. Loosen the bolt underneath the seat to change forward/backward seat position.\\nOn the back of the seat, pointing down at the back wheel, is a small bolt that controls the seat placement. It connects to a bracket that clamps onto small metal tubes that hold the seat in place. Loosen this bolt by turning it counter-clockwise to lower the pressure on the clamps that keep the seat in place.\\n2-3. Make sure the seat is far enough forward for a comfortable ride.\\nYou should be able to comfortably reach your handlebars, and your knee should be over the pedal when your foot is at 3:00 in the pedal rotation. A good test is to try standing as you ride. If your seat is in the right position, you should be able to stand up easily without pulling or pushing on the handlebars. If you experience any of the following problems, slide the seat forward or back while the bolt is still loose:\\nTrouble standing or reaching for the bars and finger numbness can mean the seat is too far back.\\nShoulder pain and trouble feeling comfortable going down hills can mean your seat is too far forward.\\n2-4. Make sure that your seat angle is level with the floor.\\nUse a carpenter's level to make sure the seat is flat—this evenly distributes your weight for more comfortable riding. That said, if you experience discomfort in your crotch you can adjust the seat a little, though no more than 3 degrees in either direction.\\nWomen should typically tilt the seat slightly down for more comfort.\\nMen should typically tilt the seat slightly up for more comfort.\\n2-5. Loosen the bolts on the side of the seat to change the seat angle.\\nThis bolt, usually on the right of the seat, allows you to easily change the angle of the seat and then tighten it in place again. Some older seats have 2 small bolts underneath the seat, one in front of the seat post and one behind, that are needed to change the seat angle. You must tighten one side to push that side up while loosening the other, almost like a see-saw.\\nNever make large adjustments to your seat angle. Check your seat height and forward position first, then adjust the angle slightly, if at all.\\n2-6. Visit a bike shop if you'd prefer a professional seat fitting.\\nIf you're having trouble getting your seat height and angle adjusted correctly, go to your local bike shop and ask if they have a fit studio. They can help you adjust your seat more precisely so that you get a safe and comfortable fit.\\nSome fitting studios have sophisticated technology that can detect pressure points between your body and the saddle, allowing for extremely precise adjustments.\\nTips\\nBike frames come in many different sizes and styles, which can affect your riding position and comfort. A bike shop can help you identify a bike that's right for you and get it adjusted properly.\\nIf your seat is too low, pedaling will quickly become exhausting. If your seat is too high, you are overextending your legs and rocking your hips, which could put you at risk for injury.\\nIt is best if you adjust the seat height while wearing the shoes you plan to ride in.\\nWarnings\\nAlways inspect your bike before you ride it.\\nRiding an ill-fitting bicycle puts you at risk of repetitive-stress injuries.\\nDo not raise your seat above the warning line printed on the seat post.\\n\", \"简要回答\": \"Having your bike seat adjusted to the right height is essential for a comfortable ride, efficient pedaling, and avoiding injury.

1,382 | How to Adjust Your Cabinet Drawers | 1. Preparing For Adjustment
1-1. Remove the contents of the drawers.
Begin by removing the contents of the drawers that need adjusting AND the cabinet below.
You will need access to the inside of the cabinet to assess the adjustments that need to be made.
1-2. Open and close the drawer slowly, assessing the problem.
While doing so, check to see if it binds at the top against the face frame as you close it.
If not, open and close the drawer very slowly to see if the guide wheel drops or “pops” off the track at any point.
If neither issue occurs, then your width adjustment is probably OK.
Open and close the drawer again, doing so very slowly. If the drawer glide on one side of the drawer or the other begins to lift off the guide wheel, near the face frame of the cabinet (when the drawer is nearly closed), then an adjustment needs to be made.
This will be covered by the following steps.
1-3. Close the drawer completely.
All four edges of the drawer face should touch against the face frame (or all protective bumper pads, if applied).
If the drawer is out of alignment, there will be a growing gap starting from the point where the edge of the drawer face touches the face frame.
1-4. Remove the drawer from the cabinet.
Pull the drawer open all the way until it stops.
Then, while pulling slightly, lift from the drawer face end and the drawer should clear the track and come right out.
2. Fixing A Drawer That Binds At The Top
2-1. Check for the presence of bent plastic guide brackets.
Some glides are secured to the inside edge of the face frame with a screw and mounted into a plastic bracket that is attached to the inside rear of the cabinet.
Sometimes with this type of mounting, the glides can become slightly bent or twisted.
Check to see if this is the case. If so, remove the glide screws and the glide, then use a little pressure or twisting to return the glide to shape, if possible.
This should be very simple. If too bent, then both the right and left glides will need to be replaced, as they are sold only in a set.
2-2. Replace overly bent guides.
Be sure to replace the damaged, useless glides.
Take one to your home center to get a proper replacement.
They cost about $6 to $8 for a set.
The good news, however, is that this type of damage is usually very “fixable” and replacement is not needed.
2-3. Remove the drawer and set it aside.
More often, your glides will be mounted on wood rails that run from the backside of the face frame to the inside rear of the cabinet. The glide can be adjusted at several points along the railing and are usually mounted with 3 or four screws per rail.
If your drawer binds at the top, against the face frame, this is a fairly simple adjustment.
2-4. Loosen the screw that holds the glide.
Use the Phillips screwdriver to loosen the screw that holds the drawer glide to the inside of the face frame.
Loosen it only. Do not remove it.
This screw is located in a vertical oblong hole in the glide to allow for up and down adjustment.
2-5. Slide the glide downward.
With the mounting screw loosened, slide the drawer glide downward and retighten the screw.
Repeat the same process with the drawer glide at the opposite side of the drawer space.
Do any necessary fine-tuning to the glides and tighten the screws to secure the glides.
2-6. Adjust the mounting brackets if necessary.
If the glides are mounted in a bracket at the inside rear of the cabinet, the mounting bracket typically has elongated slots for adjustment.
Loosen the mounting screws enough to adjust the bracket.
Tighten ONE screw enough to secure the bracket so you can test the adjustment.
When satisfied with the adjustment, you may tighten all screws.
NOTE: Because of the way the glides are designed and mounted, it is very unlikely that a drawer would bind at the bottom.
3. Fixing a Drawer Glide Wheel That Derails
3-1. Identify a drawer with wheels that drop off the track as the drawer is closed.
Typical drawer glide designs consist of a pair of rails that are mounted to the drawer and a pair of rails that are mounted to the cabinet.
The drawer rails have a small wheel located at the end near the back of the drawer and the cabinet rails have a small wheel located near the face frame of the cabinet.
The drawer wheel travels along the track of the cabinet rail, while the wheel on the cabinet rail supports the track of the drawer rail.
Either the right or left cabinet rail has a “hooked” channel along the top edge to keep the drawer wheel securely in the track.
The corresponding drawer rail has a slightly “hooked” edge along the bottom to keep the drawer from slipping off the cabinet rail.
The rails along the opposite side of the drawer and cabinet do not have these “hooked” edges.
If the right and left rails are not parallel, then this is when the drawer is likely to drop off the track along that edge. You can usually feel this occur as you close the drawer.
You are also likely to feel a temporary bind and a “pop” of the wheel back onto the track as you open the drawer.
3-2. Check the position of your rails and wheels.
With the drawer fully closed, use a flashlight to look at the drawer rails and cabinet rails from inside the cabinet and below the drawers.
If the drawer has jumped the track, the drawer glide wheel along the “non-hooked” edge will be off or nearly off the track.
3-3. Adjust a minor derailment.
You can make the adjustment by loosening the mounting screws along on the cabinet rail mounting bracket at the inside rear of the cabinet.
Nudge the bracket inward until the glide wheel on the drawer is properly traveling along cabinet rail.
Then, secure it in place by tightening the bracket screws.
3-4. Fix a drawer rail that jumps off as the drawer is closed.
If the drawer rail jumps off the guide wheel at the face frame as the drawer is closed, then you have to use the following trick to realign the rail.
Remove the mounting screw that holds the rail to the face frame of the cabinet.
Take one or more of the ¾” washers and use as spacers between the face frame and the rail.
You can gage the number of washers you will need by comparing the thickness of a number of washers with how much the rail needs to be moved.
3-5. Align the washers with the hole where the screw will be replaced.
Since you have now increased the space between the rail and the face frame, you will need to use one of the longer screws described at the beginning of the tutorial.
Your drawer should now open and close without jumping the track!
Use this same trick if the cabinet glides are mounted to wood rails that run from front to back. You may use washers to adjust the back end of the glide as you did the face frame end of the glide.
4. Fixing a Glide Wheel That Lifts Off The Rail
4-1. Fix a wheel that lifts off.
Fixing a glide wheel that lifts of the rail when the drawer is closed requires a different solution than fixing a wheel that “jumps” the track.
This scenario is when the wheel lifts straight up off the track surface at either the front or back of the drawer.
This, too, is an easy adjustment.
4-2. Loosen the mounting screw.
If the wheel lifts off the track at the back of the drawer, simply loosen the mounting screw on the rail or the mounting bracket.
Then, slightly raise the rail until the wheel rides properly on the track.
Be sure not to raise it too much, or the opposite wheel will lift off its track.
4-3. Make any necessary small adjustments to align support wheel.
If the drawer glide lifts from the support wheel on the rail at the face frame, this will require a small adjustment.
However, the adjustment will be made at the rear end of the rail and not at the face frame.
4-4. Raise the right cabinet glide rail if the left drawer glide is lifted off the support wheel.
Raising the cabinet glide at the opposite corner will lower the drawer glide back onto the support wheel at the face frame.
Here is the “formula” to keep in mind: Raising right rear lowers left front; raising left rear lowers right front! Think in opposites!
When using washers or any other material for spacers, either run the mounting screws through the spacers or have two equal-size spacers “straddle” the mounting screws to avoid distorting the shape of the glide rail.
Distortion and twisting can cause binding—and that’s what we’re trying to adjust!

1,383 | How to Adjust Your Digital Camera's White Balance | 1. Steps
1-1. Understand what white balance is and how it affects your digital camera's picture.
Different kinds of lighting look the same to the human visual system (although once you, as a photographer, know that there is a difference, you'll look for and notice it everywhere!). Our brains compensate for it automatically, so that a white thing will look white under any light. But a subject in the shade is slightly bluer than the same subject in bright daylight, and incandescent lightbulbs are very orange compared to both.People who shoot film need to use coloured filters on their lenses (or use special films). A digital camera can digitally alter the colour information from its sensors to compensate for the different colours coming from various light sources. The setting which controls how and to what extent this is done is called the white balance. Apart from compensating for the colour conditions, though, the white balance control can be used to warm or cool colours for artistic effect.
Most cameras have a white balance control, and will have all or some of the following settings:
{"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/f\/f5\/White_balance_-_AWB_259.png","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/f\/f5\/White_balance_-_AWB_259.png\/100px-White_balance_-_AWB_259.png","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":193,"bigWidth":100,"bigHeight":42,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>\"AWB\" white balance icon, I made this\n<\/p><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Public_domain\">Public Domain<\/a> (<span title=\"This image consists solely of non-copyrightable elements, such as generic typefaces, handwriting, geometric shapes, or other elements that make this image fall below the threshold of originality in the United States.\" style=\"text-decoration-line:underline;text-decoration-style:dotted;cursor:help\">ineligible for copyright protection<\/span>)\n<\/p><\/div>"} . The icon for this is either "AWB" or "A". The camera will analyse the image and set the white balance automatically.
{"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/5\/54\/White_balance_-_Sun_2_576.png","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/5\/54\/White_balance_-_Sun_2_576.png\/400px-White_balance_-_Sun_2_576.png","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":460,"bigWidth":400,"bigHeight":400,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>\"sunny\" white balance icon, I made this\n<\/p><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Public_domain\">Public Domain<\/a> (<span title=\"This image consists solely of non-copyrightable elements, such as generic typefaces, handwriting, geometric shapes, or other elements that make this image fall below the threshold of originality in the United States.\" style=\"text-decoration-line:underline;text-decoration-style:dotted;cursor:help\">ineligible for copyright protection<\/span>)\n<\/p><\/div>"} . This is for shooting in direct sunlight.

You can also use this setting to get warm colours even in daylight. (The photograph at the top of the page compares Auto" with the Shade setting.)
{"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/3\/3f\/White_balance_-_Flash_-_2_686.png","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/3\/3f\/White_balance_-_Flash_-_2_686.png\/400px-White_balance_-_Flash_-_2_686.png","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":460,"bigWidth":400,"bigHeight":400,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>\"flash\" white balance icon, I made this\n<\/p><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Public_domain\">Public Domain<\/a> (<span title=\"This image consists solely of non-copyrightable elements, such as generic typefaces, handwriting, geometric shapes, or other elements that make this image fall below the threshold of originality in the United States.\" style=\"text-decoration-line:underline;text-decoration-style:dotted;cursor:help\">ineligible for copyright protection<\/span>)\n<\/p><\/div>"} . Flash light is slightly cooler than daylight, using this setting will warm the picture a tiny bit compared to the "Daylight" setting. This only applies for situations in which the flash is the sole source of lighting. If you're balancing ambient light and flash, and the ambient lighting also needs correction, then you might need to use coloured filters on your flash to match the ambient lighting and then use a white balance setting appropriate for the ambient lighting.

Light from tungsten bulbs is substantially more orange than daylight, so the camera compensates by adding blue to the picture.
{"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/b\/bf\/White_balance_-_Fluorescent_2_571.png","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/b\/bf\/White_balance_-_Fluorescent_2_571.png\/400px-White_balance_-_Fluorescent_2_571.png","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":460,"bigWidth":400,"bigHeight":400,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>fluorescent white balance icon.

{"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/b\/b3\/White_balance_-_Preset_-_Blue_31.png","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/b\/b3\/White_balance_-_Preset_-_Blue_31.png\/400px-White_balance_-_Preset_-_Blue_31.png","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":230,"bigWidth":400,"bigHeight":200,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>\"Preset\" white balance icon, I made this\n<\/p><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Public_domain\">Public Domain<\/a> (<span title=\"This image consists solely of non-copyrightable elements, such as generic typefaces, handwriting, geometric shapes, or other elements that make this image fall below the threshold of originality in the United States.\" style=\"text-decoration-line:underline;text-decoration-style:dotted;cursor:help\">ineligible for copyright protection<\/span>)\n<\/p><\/div>"} You take a photograph of something of a neutral colour under the lighting, then your camera effectively subtracts the colour of said image from your subsequent photographs. This is often the only way of getting good results under "energy saving" lighting. It can often get more accurate results under artificial lighting than the white balance settings dedicated to that kind of lighting.Setting this differs from camera to camera, so read your manual. You can either use a grey card or an ExpoDisc (or make your own 'ExpoDisc' with a coffee filter).

Nikon cameras call this "K"; on most cameras you can specify the temperature by spinning the front command dial.
Some compact cameras lack white balance settings entirely and put them as scene modes. You'll have to figure out the effects yourself. A "Foliage" mode will typically bias the colours towards green, "Sunset" will make them warm, "Fall Foliage" will also warm the picture.
1-2. Find the white balance control on your camera.
See your manual for details, but here are a couple of hints:
Digital SLRs will usually have a button on the top or back of the camera that says "WB". You hold the button down while spinning one of the control dials, to adjust it. (The cheaper Nikon digital SLRs omit this.)
{"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/2\/2c\/Nikon_D2H_white_balance_button_148.JPG\/460px-Nikon_D2H_white_balance_button_148.JPG","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/2\/2c\/Nikon_D2H_white_balance_button_148.JPG\/728px-Nikon_D2H_white_balance_button_148.JPG","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":304,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":481,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>white balance button on a Nikon D2H\n<\/p><p>Image from: Uploader<br>\nLicense: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Public_domain\">Public Domain<\/a>\n<\/p><\/div>"}
On your compacts, it's generally buried fairly deep in the menus, because they really don't want you messing with it, but you can get there. Hit the menu and it's generally in the camera or shooting mode, you'll find the setting white balance or WB and once again, press the button and choose which white balance you want to use.
If the white balance control does not do anything, or if you can't find it in your menus, it could mean you're in a "Scene" or Auto mode which locks out this control. Try shooting in a semi-automatic exposure mode, like Program.
1-3. Try your "Auto", "Daylight", "Cloud" and "Shady" white balance settings under daylight.
Most of the time the colours will be too cool in "Auto", and you'll also find that things will look much nicer in the other settings. This differs from camera to camera; some cameras (specifically camera phones) have terrible white balance algorithms in some settings.
1-4. Try using your "cloudy" and "shade" settings to get warm colours, even in daylight!
As said, these settings are intended to compensate for bluer light, but you can use them to warm your colours, too. Cameras have built-in colour correction algorithms, not built-in artists; they don't know that your photograph should be warm.
1-5. Use white balance trims to get your colours perfect.
You might find, for example, that under certain kinds of indoor lighting your camera almost gets the white balance perfect in its "Auto" setting, but could do with being a little cooler, or that your sunsets would be perfect if they were a little bit warmer. This is where white balance trims (called "hue adjustment" on some cameras) come in: it allows you to take one of the camera's white balance presets, and adjust them slightly warmer or cooler to get perfect results. On all but the cheapest Nikon SLRs, you can do this by holding the white balance button and spinning the front control dial. Many cameras lack this adjustment entirely.
Tips
Your white balance control cannot correct adequately for some light sources. Sodium lighting, as used in streetlamps in many parts of the world, gives out light in a very narrow range of the spectrum and so cannot be corrected without removing colour entirely. Try looking at a green car and a blue car under orange street lights: they'll look almost the same![5]
X
Research source
"Energy saving" light bulbs are a less extreme example, and most (possibly all) cameras lack a white balance setting to correct for it.
You can make your photo look like it was taken at night by setting the "Tungsten" white balance setting and deliberately underexposing your shot by anywhere from 1 to 3 stops. This is an old trick used in Hollywood called "day for night".[6]
X
Research source
The white balance control only has an effect on your image if you are shooting JPEGs. If you're shooting a raw format, then it merely gives a hint to your raw processing software as to how it should set your colour balance. You can tweak the colour balance of JPEGs in post too, but extreme colour shifts are best done either with raw files or in-camera.

Nikon cameras call this \\\"K\\\"; on most cameras you can specify the temperature by spinning the front command dial.\\nSome compact cameras lack white balance settings entirely and put them as scene modes. You'll have to figure out the effects yourself. A \\\"Foliage\\\" mode will typically bias the colours towards green, \\\"Sunset\\\" will make them warm, \\\"Fall Foliage\\\" will also warm the picture.\\n1-2. Find the white balance control on your camera.\\nSee your manual for details, but here are a couple of hints:\\nDigital SLRs will usually have a button on the top or back of the camera that says \\\"WB\\\". You hold the button down while spinning one of the control dials, to adjust it. (The cheaper Nikon digital SLRs omit this.)\\n\\n{\\\"smallUrl\\\":\\\"https:\\\\/\\\\/www.wikihow.com\\\\/images\\\\/thumb\\\\/2\\\\/2c\\\\/Nikon_D2H_white_balance_button_148.JPG\\\\/460px-Nikon_D2H_white_balance_button_148.JPG\\\",\\\"bigUrl\\\":\\\"\\\\/images\\\\/thumb\\\\/2\\\\/2c\\\\/Nikon_D2H_white_balance_button_148.JPG\\\\/728px-Nikon_D2H_white_balance_button_148.JPG\\\",\\\"smallWidth\\\":460,\\\"smallHeight\\\":304,\\\"bigWidth\\\":728,\\\"bigHeight\\\":481,\\\"licensing\\\":\\\"<div class=\\\\\\\"mw-parser-output\\\\\\\"><p>white balance button on a Nikon D2H\\\\n<\\\\/p><p>Image from: Uploader<br>\\\\nLicense: <a target=\\\\\\\"_blank\\\\\\\" rel=\\\\\\\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\\\\\\\" class=\\\\\\\"external text\\\\\\\" href=\\\\\\\"http:\\\\/\\\\/en.wikipedia.org\\\\/wiki\\\\/Public_domain\\\\\\\">Public Domain<\\\\/a>\\\\n<\\\\/p><\\\\/div>\\\"}\\nOn your compacts, it's generally buried fairly deep in the menus, because they really don't want you messing with it, but you can get there. Hit the menu and it's generally in the camera or shooting mode, you'll find the setting white balance or WB and once again, press the button and choose which white balance you want to use.\\nIf the white balance control does not do anything, or if you can't find it in your menus, it could mean you're in a \\\"Scene\\\" or Auto mode which locks out this control. Try shooting in a semi-automatic exposure mode, like Program.\\n1-3. Try your \\\"Auto\\\", \\\"Daylight\\\", \\\"Cloud\\\" and \\\"Shady\\\" white balance settings under daylight.\\nMost of the time the colours will be too cool in \\\"Auto\\\", and you'll also find that things will look much nicer in the other settings. This differs from camera to camera; some cameras (specifically camera phones) have terrible white balance algorithms in some settings.\\n1-4. Try using your \\\"cloudy\\\" and \\\"shade\\\" settings to get warm colours, even in daylight!\\nAs said, these settings are intended to compensate for bluer light, but you can use them to warm your colours, too. Cameras have built-in colour correction algorithms, not built-in artists; they don't know that your photograph should be warm.\\n1-5. Use white balance trims to get your colours perfect.\\nYou might find, for example, that under certain kinds of indoor lighting your camera almost gets the white balance perfect in its \\\"Auto\\\" setting, but could do with being a little cooler, or that your sunsets would be perfect if they were a little bit warmer. This is where white balance trims (called \\\"hue adjustment\\\" on some cameras) come in: it allows you to take one of the camera's white balance presets, and adjust them slightly warmer or cooler to get perfect results. On all but the cheapest Nikon SLRs, you can do this by holding the white balance button and spinning the front control dial. Many cameras lack this adjustment entirely.\\nTips\\nYour white balance control cannot correct adequately for some light sources. Sodium lighting, as used in streetlamps in many parts of the world, gives out light in a very narrow range of the spectrum and so cannot be corrected without removing colour entirely. Try looking at a green car and a blue car under orange street lights: they'll look almost the same![5]\\nX\\nResearch source\\n\\n\\n\\n \\\"Energy saving\\\" light bulbs are a less extreme example, and most (possibly all) cameras lack a white balance setting to correct for it.\\nYou can make your photo look like it was taken at night by setting the \\\"Tungsten\\\" white balance setting and deliberately underexposing your shot by anywhere from 1 to 3 stops. This is an old trick used in Hollywood called \\\"day for night\\\".[6]\\nX\\nResearch source\\nThe white balance control only has an effect on your image if you are shooting JPEGs. If you're shooting a raw format, then it merely gives a hint to your raw processing software as to how it should set your colour balance. You can tweak the colour balance of JPEGs in post too, but extreme colour shifts are best done either with raw files or in-camera.\\n\", \"简要回答\": \"{\\\"smallUrl\\\":\\\"https:\\\\/\\\\/www.wikihow.com\\\\/images\\\\/thumb\\\\/f\\\\/f5\\\\/Lewis_White_Balance_996.jpg\\\\/460px-Lewis_White_Balance_996.jpg\\\",\\\"bigUrl\\\":\\\"\\\\/images\\\\/thumb\\\\/f\\\\/f5\\\\/Lewis_White_Balance_996.jpg\\\\/728px-Lewis_White_Balance_996.jpg\\\",\\\"smallWidth\\\":460,\\\"smallHeight\\\":188,\\\"bigWidth\\\":728,\\\"bigHeight\\\":297,\\\"licensing\\\":\\\"<div class=\\\\\\\"mw-parser-output\\\\\\\"><p>Taken by <a href=\\\\\\\"\\\\/User:Caidoz\\\\\\\" title=\\\\\\\"User:Caidoz\\\\\\\">Caidoz<\\\\/a>.\\\\n<\\\\/p><p>License: <a target=\\\\\\\"_blank\\\\\\\" rel=\\\\\\\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\\\\\\\" class=\\\\\\\"external text\\\\\\\" href=\\\\\\\"https:\\\\/\\\\/creativecommons.org\\\\/licenses\\\\/by\\\\/2.5\\\\/\\\\\\\">Creative Commons<\\\\/a><br>\\\\n<\\\\/p><\\\\/div>\\\"}\\nThe white balance setting you choose can make or break a photograph. This setting allows you to compensate for the slight colour differences in different types of light, or make the colours warmer or cooler to match the intended mood of your photograph. Once you know how to use it, you'll wonder how you ever coped without.\", \"结构\": {\"方法\": [{\"编号\": 1, \"标题\": \"Steps\", \"步骤\": [{\"编号\": 1, \"标题\": \"Understand what white balance is and how it affects your digital camera's picture.\", \"描述\": \"Different kinds of lighting look the same to the human visual system (although once you, as a photographer, know that there is a difference, you'll look for and notice it everywhere!). Our brains compensate for it automatically, so that a white thing will look white under any light. But a subject in the shade is slightly bluer than the same subject in bright daylight, and incandescent lightbulbs are very orange compared to both.People who shoot film need to use coloured filters on their lenses (or use special films). A digital camera can digitally alter the colour information from its sensors to compensate for the different colours coming from various light sources. The setting which controls how and to what extent this is done is called the white balance. Apart from compensating for the colour conditions, though, the white balance control can be used to warm or cool colours for artistic effect.\\nMost cameras have a white balance control, and will have all or some of the following settings:\\n\\n{\\\"smallUrl\\\":\\\"https:\\\\/\\\\/www.wikihow.com\\\\/images\\\\/f\\\\/f5\\\\/White_balance_-_AWB_259.png\\\",\\\"bigUrl\\\":\\\"\\\\/images\\\\/thumb\\\\/f\\\\/f5\\\\/White_balance_-_AWB_259.png\\\\/100px-White_balance_-_AWB_259.png\\\",\\\"smallWidth\\\":460,\\\"smallHeight\\\":193,\\\"bigWidth\\\":100,\\\"bigHeight\\\":42,\\\"licensing\\\":\\\"<div class=\\\\\\\"mw-parser-output\\\\\\\"><p>\\\\\\\"AWB\\\\\\\" white balance icon, I made this\\\\n<\\\\/p><p>License: <a target=\\\\\\\"_blank\\\\\\\" rel=\\\\\\\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\\\\\\\" class=\\\\\\\"external text\\\\\\\" href=\\\\\\\"http:\\\\/\\\\/en.wikipedia.org\\\\/wiki\\\\/Public_domain\\\\\\\">Public Domain<\\\\/a> (<span title=\\\\\\\"This image consists solely of non-copyrightable elements, such as generic typefaces, handwriting, geometric shapes, or other elements that make this image fall below the threshold of originality in the United States.\\\\\\\" style=\\\\\\\"text-decoration-line:underline;text-decoration-style:dotted;cursor:help\\\\\\\">ineligible for copyright protection<\\\\/span>)\\\\n<\\\\/p><\\\\/div>\\\"} .

1,385 | How to Adjust Your Lantus Dose | 1. Recognizing When Your Dosage Should be Adjusted
1-1. Track any weight loss.
The amount of insulin you get in each dosage of Lantus is based on a lot of factors, including how much you weigh. If you've lost or gained weight, more than 1 lb (0.45 kg) or 1 lb (0.45 kg), it might be time to adjust your dose.
1-2. Keep an eye on changes in your physical activity.
The amount of physical activity you participate in can affect how much insulin your body produces on its own. If you begin or change a workout regimen, you might need an insulin adjustment.
You should also adjust your dose if you cease working out altogether.
1-3. Check with your doctor to see if your diabetes has progressed.
Your doctor can let you know at your initial diagnosis if they believe your diabetes might progress. If it does, and your body produces less insulin on its own, you'll need to increase your dose. Ask your doctor how frequently you should be tested to see if insulin levels have changed.
If you lose weight with no explanation, find that you have to urinate more frequently, have blurry vision, or feel tired all the time, your diabetes may have gotten worse.
There are a few factors that can cause your diabetes to progress, including weight gain and stress. If you've recently sustained an injury that makes moving harder, if you're not eating as healthy as usual, or if you have other health issues, you might gain weight.
1-4. Talk to your doctor if your hormone levels change.
Your hormone levels could change for a variety of reasons, but the most likely is if you take hormonal birth control. If you begin taking the birth control pill, make sure you discuss how it might affect your insulin dose.
Your hormone levels can also be affected by increased stress, changes in your thyroid, and digestive issues. If you're facing a lot of stress at work at home or notice that you have digestive issues like diarrhea or bloating, you should get your hormone levels checked.
Your doctor will likely ask you to come back a week or two after you've started the pill to test your hormone levels. This will give them a better sense of your exact levels and help them determine what your Lantus dosage should be.
2. Testing Your Dosage
2-1. Eat a healthy, low-fat dinner.
Stay away from takeout or overly fatty or processed meals (like pasta with cream sauce or frozen dinners) on the night you're going to test your dosage. Instead, choose lean protein like chicken or fish and a side or 2 of vegetables.
2-2. Exercise as you normally would in the evening.
If you normally exercise in the evening, you can still do so the night you're testing your dosage. However, keep the workout a little lighter than normal. If you overdo it on the exercise, it can affect your glucose levels and you won't get a true reading.
For example, if you normally go for a 30-minute run in the evening, cut it down to 20 minutes.
2-3. Perform a bedtime glucose level check.
Before you go to bed, and at least 3 hours after you've eaten dinner, you'll need to check your glucose levels. They should be between 80 mg/dL and 250 mg/dL to move forward with the test. Write down your reading.
If your glucose levels are below 80 mg/dL, have a snack and do the test another night. If your glucose levels are above 250 mg/dL, take a correction dose of insulin and try the test another night. Talk with your doctor if your levels are consistently outside of the target range, which is usually 80 to 130 mg/dL.
2-4. Check your glucose again in the middle of the night.
You'll need to set an alarm to wake yourself up in the middle of the night. If your sleep schedule requires you to sleep during the day, set your alarm for halfway between bedtime and when you wake up. When the alarm goes off, test your glucose level and write it down.
2-5. Test your glucose when you wake up the next day.
As soon as you wake up the next day, take another reading of your glucose level. Then compare your 3 readings: bedtime, middle of the night, and wake up. If they are within 30 mg/dL of one another, your dosage is probably fine. However, if they drop or rise more than 30 mg/dL between the tests, you'll need to see your doctor to have your dosage adjusted.
If your readings drop by more than 30 mg/dL, you'll need a decrease in your Lantus dose. If your readings rise by more than 30 mg/dL, you'll need an increase in your Lantus dose.
2-6. Monitor your glucose during the day.
It is also important to check your glucose levels during the day. Pay attention to your glucose levels before and after eating. Your levels should be between 80 and 130 mg/dL before meals and below 180 mg/dL 2 hours after you started eating a meal.
3. Adjusting Your Dosage
3-1. Set up an appointment with your doctor.
If your glucose levels are not within the appropriate range, you'll need to see your doctor to adjust your Lantus levels. Do not change your dosage yourself at home.
Make sure you continue to eat and take your insulin as you normally would. Don't try to artificially change your levels before you see your doctor, since it will affect the adjustment they make to your insulin.
3-2. Explain your health and lifestyle changes.
When you see your doctor, make sure you have written down your nighttime and daytime glucose levels. You should also share your lifestyle or health changes that you think might require an insulin change. Your doctor might test your glucose at the time, or ask you to come back for a test, to make sure your dosage is adjusted accordingly.
3-3. Adjust your dosage.
Your doctor will let you know whether you should change your dosage and by how much. They'll likely rewrite your prescription, so you get insulin in the proper dosage. Start using the new insulin immediately; don't wait until your old prescription runs out.
Check your insulin dosage regularly to ensure that your dose is correct.
If you notice that you start feeling depressed, drowsy, disoriented, or nauseated, your dose may be too high. See your doctor immediately if experience these symptoms
Warnings
Do not adjust your Lantus levels on your own at home. Getting too much or too little insulin can have serious health ramifications.

Ask your doctor how frequently you should be tested to see if insulin levels have changed.\\nIf you lose weight with no explanation, find that you have to urinate more frequently, have blurry vision, or feel tired all the time, your diabetes may have gotten worse.\\nThere are a few factors that can cause your diabetes to progress, including weight gain and stress. If you've recently sustained an injury that makes moving harder, if you're not eating as healthy as usual, or if you have other health issues, you might gain weight.\\n1-4. Talk to your doctor if your hormone levels change.\\nYour hormone levels could change for a variety of reasons, but the most likely is if you take hormonal birth control. If you begin taking the birth control pill, make sure you discuss how it might affect your insulin dose.\\nYour hormone levels can also be affected by increased stress, changes in your thyroid, and digestive issues. If you're facing a lot of stress at work at home or notice that you have digestive issues like diarrhea or bloating, you should get your hormone levels checked.\\nYour doctor will likely ask you to come back a week or two after you've started the pill to test your hormone levels. This will give them a better sense of your exact levels and help them determine what your Lantus dosage should be.\\n2. Testing Your Dosage\\n2-1. Eat a healthy, low-fat dinner.\\nStay away from takeout or overly fatty or processed meals (like pasta with cream sauce or frozen dinners) on the night you're going to test your dosage. Instead, choose lean protein like chicken or fish and a side or 2 of vegetables.\\n2-2. Exercise as you normally would in the evening.\\nIf you normally exercise in the evening, you can still do so the night you're testing your dosage. However, keep the workout a little lighter than normal. If you overdo it on the exercise, it can affect your glucose levels and you won't get a true reading.\\nFor example, if you normally go for a 30-minute run in the evening, cut it down to 20 minutes.\\n2-3. Perform a bedtime glucose level check.\\nBefore you go to bed, and at least 3 hours after you've eaten dinner, you'll need to check your glucose levels. They should be between 80 mg/dL and 250 mg/dL to move forward with the test. Write down your reading.\\nIf your glucose levels are below 80 mg/dL, have a snack and do the test another night. If your glucose levels are above 250 mg/dL, take a correction dose of insulin and try the test another night. Talk with your doctor if your levels are consistently outside of the target range, which is usually 80 to 130 mg/dL.\\n2-4. Check your glucose again in the middle of the night.\\nYou'll need to set an alarm to wake yourself up in the middle of the night. If your sleep schedule requires you to sleep during the day, set your alarm for halfway between bedtime and when you wake up. When the alarm goes off, test your glucose level and write it down.\\n2-5. Test your glucose when you wake up the next day.\\nAs soon as you wake up the next day, take another reading of your glucose level. Then compare your 3 readings: bedtime, middle of the night, and wake up. If they are within 30 mg/dL of one another, your dosage is probably fine. However, if they drop or rise more than 30 mg/dL between the tests, you'll need to see your doctor to have your dosage adjusted.\\nIf your readings drop by more than 30 mg/dL, you'll need a decrease in your Lantus dose. If your readings rise by more than 30 mg/dL, you'll need an increase in your Lantus dose.\\n2-6. Monitor your glucose during the day.\\nIt is also important to check your glucose levels during the day. Pay attention to your glucose levels before and after eating. Your levels should be between 80 and 130 mg/dL before meals and below 180 mg/dL 2 hours after you started eating a meal.\\n3. Adjusting Your Dosage\\n3-1. Set up an appointment with your doctor.\\nIf your glucose levels are not within the appropriate range, you'll need to see your doctor to adjust your Lantus levels. Do not change your dosage yourself at home.\\nMake sure you continue to eat and take your insulin as you normally would. Don't try to artificially change your levels before you see your doctor, since it will affect the adjustment they make to your insulin.\\n3-2. Explain your health and lifestyle changes.\\nWhen you see your doctor, make sure you have written down your nighttime and daytime glucose levels. You should also share your lifestyle or health changes that you think might require an insulin change. Your doctor might test your glucose at the time, or ask you to come back for a test, to make sure your dosage is adjusted accordingly.\\n3-3. Adjust your dosage.\\nYour doctor will let you know whether you should change your dosage and by how much. They'll likely rewrite your prescription, so you get insulin in the proper dosage. Start using the new insulin immediately; don't wait until your old prescription runs out.\\nCheck your insulin dosage regularly to ensure that your dose is correct.\\nIf you notice that you start feeling depressed, drowsy, disoriented, or nauseated, your dose may be too high. See your doctor immediately if experience these symptoms\\nWarnings\\nDo not adjust your Lantus levels on your own at home. Getting too much or too little insulin can have serious health ramifications.\\n\", \"简要回答\": \"Lantus is a common type of insulin prescribed to control diabetes.

1,386 | How to Adjust Your Seat Belt | 1. Adjusting Seat Belts with Shoulder Straps
1-1. Place your seat in the upright position.
Your seat belt won't work as effectively if your seat is reclining back. Look for a lever on the side of your seat. This is usually on the side facing the side door. Pull it up until your seat is as close to a 90-degree angle as possible.
1-2. Move the seat away from the dashboard.
The farther you're sitting from the dashboard, the safer you'll be in a collision. Move the handle under your seat, usually right in the middle, to move the seat forward or backward. If you're driving, make sure you can see well out of all windows and at least 3 inches (7.6 cm) above the steering wheel.
If you're vertically challenged, purchase an accessory specially designed to adjust your height in a vehicle. Pillows, books, and other quick fixes can slide and actually cause you to crash. Contact your local AAA club or auto insurance provider for assistance.
1-3. Sit up straight.
Place your hips and back firmly against the seat back. You shouldn't have any room between the backs of your shoulders and the seat. This is to make sure your seat belt fits snugly and keeps you in place during a crash. If you slouch, you're putting yourself at risk for serious injuries like strangulation.
1-4. Adjust the headrest.
The headrest is designed to keep your head from snapping back in a crash. Position it so that it's level with the tops of your ears and as close to your head as possible. Don't literally rest your head on the headrest while driving or as a passenger.
1-5. Wear the shoulder strap across your upper chest.
Don't slip it behind your back or under your arm. If you're pregnant, make sure the strap runs between your breasts and clear of your baby bump.
You can skip this step if you're in an older car whose seat belt only goes across the lap.
1-6. Adjust the lower strap across your hips.
Avoid placing it over your stomach. Make sure the belt fits snugly. If you're pregnant, adjust this belt below your baby bump to avoid fetal injury.
A word of warning to expectant moms: Avoid positioning devices like the “Preggy Pillow” or harnesses with shoulder straps only. Crash tests have shown them to be even harmful to you and your baby.
1-7. Click the seat belt latch into place.
Slide the metal end of the buckle into the latching device. You should hear a click. Make sure the belt is secure by tugging on it. If the belt doesn't come unlatched, the seat belt is secure.
2. Troubleshooting Common Seat Belt Problems
2-1. Untwist the seat belt, if necessary.
The belts should lie flat across your upper chest and your upper thigh areas. If your belt becomes twisted, fold it lengthwise so that it's flattened for about 12 inches (30 cm) below the buckle. Pull the buckle over the folded area and turn it the right way around.
This might require some patience, but it's well worth your time to protect your safety.
2-2. Fix an uncomfortable shoulder strap.
If the strap feels like it's cutting into your neck, try moving your seat forward or backward. Newer cars allow you to correct this issue with a restraint system. If all else fails, purchase a padded seat belt cover. You can find these in most big box stores.
2-3. Loosen a retractable seat belt.
If your belt is pulling you too tightly, part of it is probably stuck. Since each make and model is assembled differently, read your car user's manual for specific instructions. In many cases, pulling on the shoulder strap while the belt is unbuckled will do the trick. If this doesn't work and you're not trained in auto mechanics, take your car to your dealership if it's under warranty. If not, take it to a reputable mechanic.
Many of the fixes detailed online involve taking the seat belt apart. Don't attempt this unless you absolutely know what you're doing.
3. Adjusting Seat Belts on an Airplane
3-1. Straighten your seat back, if necessary.
Each airline has a different seat design, but you should find a lever on the side of your seat in many cases. Pull it up to bring the seat back up. If you can't find the lever, ask a flight attendant for help.
3-2. Fasten the seatbelt across your lap.
Most airlines still use seat belts that only go across your lap. Locate the buckle on one side and the latching device on the other. Straighten out each side, if necessary. Insert the buckle into the latching device. Make sure you hear a click. Pull the belt until it's snug across the tops of your thighs.
3-3. Keep your seatbelt fastened throughout the flight.
Do this even if the captain turns off the “Fasten Seat Belts” sign. If you decide to recline, make sure the belt stays snug across your lap. If you're using a blanket, place it between the belt and your body.
4. Adjusting Seat Belts with Child Safety Seats
4-1. Purchase a seat appropriate to the child's age and weight.
Use a rear-facing seat for an infant under 20 lbs. (9 kg). Buy a front-facing seat for a toddler between 20 and 40 lbs. (9-18 kg). Purchase a booster seat for a child between 40 and 80 lbs. (18-36 kg) and under 4 feet 9 inches (145 cm) tall.
Never place children in front-facing car seats or booster seats in the front seat unless the passenger-side airbag is turned off. Infants and toddlers should always go in the back seat.
4-2. Straighten the seat back, if necessary.
Look for a lever on the side of the seat facing the car door. In most models, lift it up to straighten the seat. Raise the seat back to a 90-degree angle.
4-3. Install the car seat.
Read your the car seat user's manual and follow the installation instructions. Depending on the style and model of your car seat, you might need accessories, such as a universal anchorage strap or a locking clip. If they don't come with the seat, consult your manual or he company website for information on ordering them.
4-4. Secure a rear-facing car seat into the backseat.
Insert the base first. Lace the bottom part of the seat belt through the belt path on the seat base. Fasten the seat belt and press the base firmly into the backseat. Finally, lock the carrier into the base.
Untwist the belt, if necessary, before fastening the seatbelt.
4-5. Buckle in a front-facing car seat.
Untwist the seat belt, if necessary. Thread the belt through the belt path on the car seat. Fasten the belt and press the car seat into the seat cushion to tighten the car seat. Make sure you can't move it more than 1 inch (2.5 cm). Read your user's manual for further instructions.
4-6. Fasten the child into the car seat.
Buckle the child into the seat according to the instructions in your user's manual. Seats for infants and toddlers usually have a tripartite harness that secures the child's shoulders, torso, and lap. Booster seats typically depend on car seat belts entirely.
4-7. Secure a booster seat.
Wait until the child is in the seat. Untwist the seat belt, if necessary. Then, bring it across the child's body and fasten it. Make sure the shoulder strap rests against the child's chest and that the lower belt rests on the tops of their thighs. Keep it away from their abdomen or throat.
If the booster seat has armrests, keep the lower belt below them.
Tips
If other people sit in your seat, be sure to re-adjust the strap to an appropriate height each time you drive or ride.
Warnings
Having air bags in your car doesn't replace the need for wearing a seat belt. Air bags prevent your head from hitting the dashboard or steering wheel, while a seat belt keeps you in your seat.[15]

1,387 | How to Adjust Your Sleep Schedule | 1. Changing Your Schedule
1-1. Alter your sleep schedule gradually.
If you normally wake up at 10 A.M. but want to start waking up at 5 A.M., this isn't going to happen overnight. Sleep specialists argue that the best way to change your sleep cycle is by making adjustments in 15-minute increments.
For example, if you normally get up at 8am, but want to start getting up at 5am, set your alarm for and wake up at 7:45 A.M. Do this for three or four days until you feel comfortable with time. Then shave off another 15 minutes. Do this until you reach your goal time.
If you're looking to change your sleep schedule sooner, try 30-minute increments.
1-2. Set your alarm to the time when you actually want to get up.
Avoid hitting that snooze button. While it can be difficult to get up earlier, snoozing doesn't improve the situation and can in fact make you more tired since it doesn't give you the most restful sleep. Instead, get up when the alarm goes off. You can also put your alarm on the other side of the room. That way when you wake up you'll have to go to the other side of the room to shut off your alarm.
1-3. Be consistent.
The key to effectively altering your sleep schedule is to be consistent. In other words, you need to stick to the sleep and wake times you set every day of the week - this includes weekends!
You can sleep in a little bit on weekends, but sleep specialists only recommend allowing yourself an extra hour or so (to a maximum of two hours). This will keep you on track for the upcoming work week.
1-4. Calculate your optimal sleeping time.
Most people require 6 to 8 hours of sleep every night, but the exact duration of necessary sleep differs from person to person. Determine at what time you need to fall asleep in order to wake up at your desired waking time.
One way of figuring this out is to keep a sleep log. Document the hours you sleep every night for a couple of weeks. Average them, then work backwards from there to determine what time you need to go to bed to get that average amount of sleep and get up at the time you desire. For example, if you usually sleep on average about 6 hours and you want to wake up at 5 A.M., you'll want to plan to fall asleep by 11 P.M.
Doctors recommend that you aim for at least seven hours of sleep every night.
2. Avoiding Food, Drink, and Stimulants
2-1. Fast overnight.
Eat a light dinner early on in the evening and then nothing. Harvard researchers have found that when you eat affects your internal clock; changing when you eat can be helpful in adjusting to changes in your schedule, whether due to work, life or travel.
Fast for approximately 12 hours before your desired waking time. Then, wake up at the desired time and eat a healthy breakfast containing protein. Fasting helps reset your internal rhythm clock to begin your day when you break the fast. This in turn helps set your new waking pattern in place.
Try to eat three regular meals spaced out evenly across the day. Make sure your diet is full of fruits, vegetables, and cereals. Avoid fatty foods, which can unsettle your stomach.
Don't eat the largest meal of the day within the three-hour period before bedtime.
Avoid all food and drinks during the fasting period. You can, however, have water.
2-2. Avoid stimulants after mid-day.
Depending on the size of your body, the amount you ingest, and your general health, the effects of caffeine can remain active in your body for up to 5 to 10 hours after initial consumption. Avoid coffee and caffeinated teas and sodas.
Nicotine should also be avoided because it is a stimulant and can keep you wired.
2-3. Avoid alcohol after dinner.
Alcohol is a depressant, which means it slows down your body. While this will help you fall asleep, alcohol also slows down your metabolism and interferes with your brain during its sleep cycles. You're likely to wake up more often if you've consumed alcohol before bed.
2-4. Avoid heavy exercise 1-2 hours before bed.
Doctors advise that you avoid a heavy cardio workout a few hours before you plan to go to bed; this can unsettle your circadian rhythm and make your sleep less restful. That said, light stretching and exercising, such as an evening walk, are probably useful in getting you ready to go sleep.
If you're someone who does intense exercises at night but sleeps well afterwards, then there is no reason to change your routine. Just know yourself.
3. Creating an Environment Conducive to Sleep
3-1. Wait until bedtime to sleep.
Naps are a great way to recharge your batteries when you have a stable sleep schedule, but they are counter-productive when trying to change sleeping patterns. Do not nap at all during the day so that you can fall asleep at the appropriate time later.
If you must nap, consider taking a power nap of not longer than 20 minutes.
3-2. Stay away from screens and monitors.
About an hour before bed, turn off all of your electronics and dim the lights of your phone and computer. Doctors note that our eyes are sensitive to the bluish light emitted by electronic screens.Bright screens are not only hard on the eyes but also trick your body into thinking it's still daytime and that your mind should still be active.
Instead of looking at a screen, read a book, write, or draw. Do something relaxing that calms you or makes you feel restful. You might consider turning down the lights while you do this activity.
3-3. Set the temperature of the room and your body.
Because the body drops in temperature when it falls asleep, you can trick your body into thinking it's time to sleep by simulating a temperature drop.
If it's cold outside, take a hot shower so that when you come out, your body experiences a temperature drop.
If it's hot outside, allow your room to heat up and then turn on the air conditioner.
3-4. Keep your room dark at night and light in the morning.
Sleep specialists note that our circadian rhythms are influenced by light and darkness. This means that many people have a hard time falling asleep when it's still light out, which happens in the summer thanks to daylight savings.
At night, shut your blinds and curtains. Turn off bright overhead lights. Consider getting a black out curtain which keeps any light from shining through. If it's still too bright or too much light is getting in, consider wearing a sleep mask.
In the morning, turn on all the lights once you awake. This will help kick start your body for the day.
3-5. Turn on white noise.
You can listen to some light music or put a fan on for some background noise.
Listen to the sounds of waves or rain; it will help calm your body and help you get a good night's sleep. Avoid music with lyrics or any songs you know really well because this might be too distracting for you as try to fall asleep.
You can also purchase white noise and other sound machines that have a variety of sounds for you to choose from.
Tips
If you've tried these suggestions and still can't fall asleep at the right time in order to get up when you want, you can try taking a melatonin supplement. Melatonin is a hormone that your brain makes at night and helps to bring on sleep. Be sure to take a dose less or equal to 5mg (you can cut them in half for a 2.5mg dose; more is not necessarily better). Most people should fall asleep 15-30 minutes after taking it.[12]

If you're trying to adjust your sleep schedule because you traveled to a different time zone, it usually takes 1 day per time zone you traveled across to adjust. For example, if you traveled across 7 time zones to reach your destination, it will take around 7 days to adjust to your new sleep schedule.[14]

1,388 | How to Adjust Your Tinder Age Range | 1. Finding the Tinder Profile Settings
1-1. Download the Tinder app.
Tinder is one of the most popular dating apps at the moment. It makes dating easier and fast, as you get to pick from the people near you and know pretty quickly if they could have any interest in getting to know you.
You "swipe" people you're matched with and select those who meet the preferences you set for age, distance radius, gender, and so forth. Swiping left means you're not interested; swiping right means you are.
You have to let the app have access to your Facebook account, although it will not publish things on your wall. It will allow the app to go through your photos and help you set your profile.
You'll get to chose your discovery preferences, which include the radius in which you'd like to swipe that is up to 100 miles and the age range. The most common age range on Tinder is 18-24, but there are people on the site of all age ranges.
1-2. Find the Tinder settings icon.
From the Tinder home screen, tap the menu icon to open your menu. The menu icon appears as three horizontal lines in the top left corner, just to the left of the Tinder logo. Tap on the tab.
This allows you to go into the app’s profile settings. The age range on Tinder goes from 18 to 55+.
In the menu, you should see your name and picture, Discovery Preferences, App Settings, Need Help?, Share Tinder, and Give Us Feedback. Tap "Discovery Preferences."
In Discovery Preferences, scroll down until you see a section called "Show Ages." This should be near the bottom. There will be many options on the page that appears; scroll down and look for one that says "Show Ages," at the bottom of the page.
Keep in mind that your profile should represent your interests, personality, and lifestyle.
You should clearly state the reason for being on the site.
It will prevent the people who are not right for you from messaging you and attract people who match your vision and goals.
2. Changing the Age Range
2-1. Use the age range slider.
In this section, there is a control bar and a number display indicating your desired age range. To adjust your desired age range, simply slide the two dots on your control bar either left or right.
Sliding a dot left or right decreases or increases its number respectively. The left-most dot controls your minimum desired age range, and the right-most dot controls your maximum desired age range.
So, if your current age range is 20-30 and you would like to include matches up to 35, slide the right-most dot towards the right until the numbers display 20-35. Once your changes are complete, tap the back arrow in the top-left corner to return to Tinder's home screen.
Click the top left hand corner where an "<" arrow is, and tap on it. you will be back at the main page, where a notification saying "Updated Profile" will appear, saving the Age Range and giving you new possible matches.
2-2. Find the settings on an Android.
In the Tinder app, you should see the Tinder logo on the top-left corner of the app. To the left of that logo, you should be able to see what appears to be half a button, or a small button with three small horizontal lines on top of each other. That's the menu button. Press it, and it'll open up a menu.
In the menu page, you should have your profile picture on top with a small "View Profile" button. Underneath this, is a list of menu items which you can press. They are "Discovery Preferences", "App Settings", "Need Help?", and "Share Tinder". Click on "Discovery Preferences." In the page that opens, you can see everything about your "people discovery" option.
To select the age range in which you see profiles around you, you need to adjust the "Show Ages" slider at the bottom of the page. Then, use it the same way. You can set the minimum and maximum ages on the slider itself, which ranges between 18 and 55+.
The starting age is edited by the first circular selection and the end age is edited by the second circular selection. Any changes in the slider are shown on the right hand side with the age range (e.g. 21-41). These changes will be automatically saved without a need to save it explicitly.
2-3. Know age range limitations.
The Tinder age range adjustment depends on your age and what you are looking for. Leaving the age range wider will allow you to meet more people.
If you are 30 and want to date, try to adjust the Tinder age around or above your age. It does not necessarily mean you will find your future spouse within this age group, but statistically you've got a higher chance to find people who are looking for similar things on Tinder. If you are under 18 you will only be able to see ages 13-17 max.
The lower limit is the first white bubble, and the upper limit is the second white bubble. Your age range is every age in between them. Slide each of these bubbles with your fingertip to control the minimum and maximum ages that will appear on your Tinder.
If you're underage, you can't see adults. If you're an adult, you can't find underage people.
3. Changing Your Age on Tinder
3-1. Change your age on Facebook first.
What if you want to change your own age? The age that shows on Tinder for you is pulled from a user's Facebook profile, meaning the only way to change the age on Tinder, is to change your age and birthday information on Facebook
After you log in to Facebook, click on “about” and scroll to your birth date within Facebook. Click “edit," and change your birth year.
Facebook is not going to let you change your age many times, though, but you will be able to do it at least once.
3-2. Delete and reinstall Tinder.
If you want to change your age on Tinder, you may need to reinstall the app after you’ve changed your age on Facebook.
To do this, click on app settings. Go to the bottom and click “delete account.” Remember that this will permanently delete all ongoing conversations, matches, and photos, and so forth. Tinder will ask if you want to delete your account. Click “delete account.”
On your phone, tap the tinder app lightly. Click the x in the top left hand corner of the Tinder icon. The app will now be deleted from your phone. Go back into Facebook and make sure your birth date has updated. Now download the Tinder app, and sign in again with your Facebook login, creating a new account. Your new Tinder age should appear on your Tinder profile.
Warnings
For some, Tinder is just an app for one-night stands; however, not all men and women using the app are looking for this. There is still a percentage looking genuinely for love.
Don’t lie about your age. It’s likely to come out later if you meet up with someone and cause problems.
Be extremely careful. Anytime you start conversing with strangers, there is potential for danger.

1,390 | How to Adjust Your Tinder Search Distance | 1. Finding the Distance Preferences Setting
1-1. Open up Tinder after downloading the app.
Make sure you are connected to the Internet and that your app is enabled to process location information, such as GPS.
To do this, go into the settings menu of your phone. Scroll down to "location services" or "location access" and you will see different functions, including GPS. Enable it.
{"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/1\/14\/Adjust-Your-Tinder-Search-Distance-Step-1Bullet1.jpg\/v4-460px-Adjust-Your-Tinder-Search-Distance-Step-1Bullet1.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/1\/14\/Adjust-Your-Tinder-Search-Distance-Step-1Bullet1.jpg\/aid4571607-v4-663px-Adjust-Your-Tinder-Search-Distance-Step-1Bullet1.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":388,"bigWidth":664,"bigHeight":560,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Fair_use\">Fair Use<\/a> (screenshot)<br>\n<\/p><\/div>"}
You are now ready to adjust the settings preferences within Tinder.
1-2. Find the Tinder gear logo.
In the upper left corner, tap just to the left of the "Tinder" logo. This is essentially the general control panel, which people use to change their profile settings. You can also go here to change the gender and age range of the matches you are seeking, as well as the distance radius.
This logo looks like a grey gear at the top left hand corner of the screen. This will open a menu. Now that the control panel is open, the first listed option is "Discovery Preferences." It has a green heart icon. Tap it.
You can also do this by scrolling left (swiping from the left of the screen to the right of the screen) anywhere on the app.You should see a distance slider that allows you to change the distance radius.
2. Using the Distance Slider
2-1. Change the distance slider.
Sliding to the right extends the distance of your Tinder search. Sliding to the left reduces the radius.
For example, a person’s personal settings might be set at 35 miles. It's more than enough for most people. That means you will be matched only with people currently within that circle around you. With the preferences panel open, you have access to general controls. Second from the bottom is a slider labeled "Search Distance."
Adjust the slider bar to suit your preferences, and hit "done" at the top right corner of the screen. Slide the icon under "Maximum Distance" to the desired search range between 1 to 100 miles.
2-2. Swipe with Tinder.
Tinder was among the first “swiping apps,” where the user uses a swiping motion to choose between the photos of other users. Tinder uses swipe right for potentially good matches and swipe left on a photo to move to the next one.
Here’s why you might want to frequently change your search distance. Let’s say, for example, that you are at the gym and want to find people who are active (or if you are at a show.) Set the radius as small as possible and then expand to 3 miles.
The reason you need to set a search range is to screen out potential matches who live too far away from you. Most people use Tinder to meet people who live near them or who are simply in the area they are at.
You’re less likely to get people interested in you with too far of a radius because most people don’t go on Tinder looking for long-distance relationships.
3. Figuring out Your Ideal Range
3-1. Consider how far you’re willing to drive to meet someone.
When you first hop onto Tinder, you're probably not thinking of anything related to your driving time. Once you get established though, you might have a fleeting thought along the lines of "I don't mind driving a lot!"
Be honest with yourself. 50 miles for a most likely mediocre date is a lot. I'm talking about 1 1/2 hours of driving to get coffee with someone who owns more cats than bars of soap. Don't do it; it's not worth it; you're better than that.
It's important that when you're setting up your profile, you take a minute to think about how far you're willing to drive. If you're younger, consider the other person might not have a car (meaning you're driving the whole way. Or they are).
3-2. Set the radius higher to get more matches.
A five-mile max distance means that any user who fits your age and gender will show up. If you set it to 1 mile, then Tinder will show you people within a 1-mile radius from where you are at that time.
When you change location, then you are moving the center of the radius and will find different people. One reason people change their distance radius is to get more opportunities because they've already seen most of the people closer to them. The default is 50 miles.
If you’re in a major city, you might want to reduce it to 15 miles; choose a longer distance if you live in a less populated area.
Tips
Be careful! There is always an element of danger any time you meet a stranger.
Change your search distance frequently if you’re looking to meet someone on-the-go.

1,391 | How to Adjust a Backpack | 1. Putting on a Backpack
1-1. Pack
The weight distribution in the pack makes a big difference in how the pack fits your body. Place lighter gear at the bottom, such as a sleeping bag, clothing, or light books. Place heavier gear on top of it, in the backpack’s center, and closer to your body. You can then place the lightest gear on top.
If you’re testing a backpack’s fit, at least fill it with some weight. A lighter backpack feels much different than a full one, and you won’t be able to adjust it accurately until you actually put it to use.
If you’re going on a trip, wait to adjust the backpack until you have finished packing it. When you’re wearing it, check the weight distribution to ensure it isn’t throwing you off-balance.
1-2. Loosen all straps on the backpack.
Disconnect any buckles that will get in your way, such as the ones on the hip and sternum straps. Then, to loosen the straps, find the buckles on each one. Pull each strap back through the buckles until you’re able to squeeze underneath the backpack’s shoulder pads.
For example, the shoulder straps will have buckles near the bottom of the shoulder pads. Pick up the tail ends of the straps and move them back toward the top part of the backpack.
1-3. Fit the backpack over your shoulders.
Lift it to slip your head between the shoulder pads. It won’t fit perfectly at this point, but it doesn’t have to. Just make sure it feels comfortable on your body and not too heavy.
A good backpack will be the same length as your torso. It should span from the base of your neck to your waist. If yours is the wrong size, it may be uncomfortable even after you finish adjusting it.
Check the backpack’s weight distribution as well. If you feel it pulling you backward, rearranging or removing some stuff may help.
Remember—you want the backpack to be a bit high up on your back.
1-4. Position the straps on your shoulders and waist.
Move the shoulder pads between your neck and shoulders. They should be spaced the same distance from your neck and wrap comfortably around the tops of your shoulders. Fit the waist belt near your hips. Make sure all of the other straps are accessible near your sides.
Both shoulder pads are meant to be used on all backpacks, including shoulder backpacks. If you only use one pad, the backpack’s won’t be well-balanced and it will put a lot of strain on your neck and back.
2. Connecting a Waist Belt
2-1. Place the waist belt padding on top of your hips.
Grab onto the ends of the waist belt at the bottom of the backpack. Pull both ends forward so they are in front of your stomach. Before securing the belt, raise it as needed so it rests comfortably over your hips.
The pads won’t close together. Instead, they will end above your legs, leaving a gap between them.
2-2. Snap the buckle halves together to secure the belt.
The buckle halves are on the ends of the waist belt. Pull both halves toward the center of your body to join them together. Keep the buckle in front of your body. It won’t be very tight yet, but it should still be centered over your stomach.
Let the belt buckle hang off of your waist until you finish tightening the strap. If it isn’t below your waist before then, check the belt’s positioning to make sure it is correct.
2-3. Tighten the waist belt by pulling the strap ends.
Use the loose straps hanging from the buckle halves. Pull them away from the buckle at the same time so the belt tightens evenly. Continue pulling the belt tighter until it rests lightly against your abs. It shouldn't press against your body or otherwise limit your range of motion.
Make sure the belt isn’t pinching you. If it feels too tight, feed the straps back through the buckles.
To fit the waist belt properly, try shrugging your shoulders. Tighten the belt while your shoulders are up. When you lower them, the belt will drop down as well to rest over your hips.
3. Securing Shoulder Straps
3-1. Pull the shoulder straps down until they are flat against your body.
Look along the bottom edge of each shoulder pad for a loose strap. Grab onto the straps and pull them straight down at the same time. Lowering the pads this way tightens them at the same time. Pull them down until they are about level with your armpits.
The shoulder straps should still feel comfortable, so loosen them if they pinch your back or shoulders. Push the straps back through the buckles to release some of the pressure.
If your backpack is the right size for your body, the straps will follow the shape of your shoulders. Get a different backpack size if you notice space between the padding and your shoulders.
3-2. Move the load lifter straps over your shoulders.
The load lifter straps are on the top part of the backpack, which will be behind your head. Take one in each hand and gently pull them forward at the same time. Position them on top of the shoulder straps.
Test the straps by taking a few steps forward. If you feel yourself being pulled back by the backpack’s weight, the straps may not be tight enough.
3-3. Adjust the load lifter straps until the backpack is tight against your body.
Check your balance after adjusting the straps. If you feel like the backpack is pulling you backward, then the load lifter straps may not be tight enough. Make them so the top part of the backpack is vertical, parallel with your head. To loosen the straps, push them back through the buckles.
As a rule of thumb, the load lifters form a 45-degree angle with the top of your shoulders. It isn’t easy to see while you’re wearing the backpack, so use a mirror or have someone else check it for you.
4. Fitting a Sternum Strap
4-1. Pull the sternum strap across your chest.
The final strap is the one right below your neckline. Look for the loose ends of the strap hanging from the shoulder pads. Pull them towards one another at the same time. Keep the strap about 1 in (2.5 cm) below your collarbone.
Note how pulling the sternum strap relieves some of the pressure from the shoulder strap. If the straps feel too tight against your body, go back and loosen the shoulder straps first.
4-2. Snap the belt buckle halves together to secure the strap.
Each end of the sternum strap will have half of the buckle. After fitting them together, rest the buckle flat against your body. Position the strap along the top part of your chest with the buckle in the center.
Make sure the buckle is well-secured and out of the way of your arms. Try swinging your arms a few times to test if the strap restricts your range of motion.
If the strap feels restrictive, undo the belt buckle. Check that is it positioned below your collarbone, but not as low as your armpits.
4-3. Pull the strap tight until the backpack rests against your shoulders.
The sternum strap pulls the shoulder pads closer together. As you pull the tail end of the strap toward one side, it will relieve some of the pressure on your body. Make sure the strap is well-secured but not able to constrict your movement or breathing. If you need to, loosen it by feeding the strap back through the buckle.
If you feel a little uncomfortable at this point, you can go back to the shoulder straps and loosen them a little further. The sternum strap affects the shoulder straps a little bit, so you may have to make further adjustments to them.
Always do the sternum strap last. Even though you may feel tempted to take care of them when tightening the shoulder straps, you won’t get the best possible fit that way.
Tips
Always start with the waist belt when adjusting a backpack. The waist belt bears most of the weight, so it has to be the right size and fit before the other straps can be fine-tuned.[14]

Research source
When walking with a backpack, lean forward slightly for balance. If you have to change your posture a lot, then your backpack is likely too heavy.[15]
X
Research source
After adjusting a backpack, walk around with it for a few minutes. Make sure the weight is on your legs rather than your neck and shoulders.
Warnings
If you use a backpack that doesn’t fit you well, it puts stress on your neck and back. This can lead to long-term problems like pain and poor posture.
Even the best hiking backpacks cannot support more than 20% of your body weight, and it’s 10% for school backpacks. If you need to carry more weight at one time, use another alternative, such as a rolling backpack, for safety.[16]

1,393 | How to Adjust a Bow Tie | 1. Tightening a Bow Tie
1-1. Grab the loop of fabric on each side of your bow tie knot.
One of the loops will be on the front of your bow tie, facing out. The second loop on the other side of the knot will be in the back of the bow tie, up against your shirt. Pinch each loop of fabric between your fingers so you have a firm grip.
1-2. Pull the loops of fabric out to the side and away from your bow tie knot.
As you pull the loops in the opposite direction from one another, the knot in the center of your bow tie will tighten. Stop pulling on the loops once your bow tie is tightened to your liking.
1-3. Grab the flat ends of your bow tie on either side of your bow tie knot.
One flat end will be in front of one of the loops of fabric. The other flat end on the other side of the knot will be behind the second loop of fabric.
1-4. Tug the flat ends out to the side and away from the knot.
Pull on the flat ends until they line up with the end of the loop of fabric that's on their side of the knot. Don't pull the flat ends of your bow tie out too far or you could untie your bow tie.
2. Adjusting a Bow Tie with an Adjustable Slider
2-1. Use measuring tape to measure the circumference of your neck.
Wrap the measuring tape around the center of your neck and note the measurement. Make sure the tape isn't too tight or your bow tie won't fit properly. You should be able to fit a finger between the tape and your neck.
2-2. Add 19 inches (48 cm) to the measurement you got for your neck.
That's how long your bow tie needs to be, from end to end, when it's untied. The extra 19 inches (48 cm) will give you enough fabric to make the knot and bow.
For example, if the circumference of your neck is 15 inches (38 cm), you would want to adjust your bow tie so it's 34 inches (86 cm) long when it's untied.
2-3. Adjust your bow tie with the slider until it's the right length.
If you're trying to make your bow tie shorter, slide the adjustable slider out away from the center of your tie. If you're trying to make your bow tie longer, slide the slider in toward the center of your bow tie. To make things easier, lay your bow tie on a flat surface next to measuring tape so you can see how long it is as you're adjusting it.
Once your bow tie is the same length as the measurement you calculated, it's ready to be tied around your neck.
3. Adjusting a Bow Tie with Measurement Holes
3-1. Measure the circumference of your neck with measuring tape.
Wrap the measuring tape around the center of your neck. Make sure the tape is flat against your neck and not bunched up or twisted. Note the measurement you get.
Don't measure your neck with the measuring tape wrapped too tightly around it or your bow tie will be too tight. You should be able to fit your finger in between your neck and the measuring tape.
3-2. Look for the corresponding measurement on the inside of your bow tie.
Lay your bow tie on a flat surface so the back of the bow tie is facing up. You should see a row of numbers going across the thin part of your bow tie. Find the number that matches the measurement you took of your neck.
For example, if your neck measurement was 15 inches (38 cm), look for the number 15 (38) on your bow tie.
3-3. Insert the t-hook on your bow tie into the hole next to the right number.
The t-hook will look like a small plastic or metal hook that's in the shape of a capital “t.” Once the t-hook is in the hole, gently pull on it to make sure it's secure. Now that the t-hook is hooked into the number that corresponds with your neck size, your bow tie should fit you when you tie it around your neck.

1,394 | Step-by-Step Methods for Adjusting a Carburetor | 1. Adjusting the Air and Fuel Mixture
1-1. Locate the air filter and remove it.
On most cars, you'll need to remove the air filter to expose the carburetor and adjust it. Open the hood and make sure the engine is off before locating the air filter and removing the assembly. Unscrew the wing-nut and any other connectors, and then remove the air filter entirely.
Depending on your make and model and the engine type, the air filter could be in any number of different places on the engine. Consult the owner's manual or the shop guide for your vehicle.
On most carbureted cars, the air cleaner housing is attached directly to the carburetor.
1-2. Find the adjustment screws on the front of the carburetor.
These often look like flat-head screws. There should be two screws on the front of the carburetor, which are used to adjust the air and fuel mixture.
1-3.
These often look like flat-head screws, and you can use a screwdriver to turn them, adjusting the amount of fuel and air mixing in the carb.
1-4.
Some carburetors, such as the Quadrajet found in most GM vehicles, have a special screw and require a specific adjusting tool. The Quadrajet uses a Double "D" carburetor adjusting tool.
Other carburetors may have a 4 corner idle mix adjustment and will therefore have 4 idle mixture screws.
1-5. Start the engine and let it warm to normal operating temperature.
Check the temperature gauge to know when it's at the appropriate running temperature. Then, listen to the sound of the engine to get some sense of the adjustments that need to be made.
will ping at higher RPM (revolutions per minute) when the throttle is open, as if you were flooding a gear. In this case, more gas needs to be added to the mixture.
won't necessarily make a change in sound, but you'll be able to smell it. In that case, reduce the amount of gas. An engine that runs too rich at idle will cause the plugs to be fuel-fouled, leading to a vehicle that is harder to start cold.
1-6. Adjust both screws equally and find the right mixture.
Adjusting the carburetor is a lot like tuning a guitar. Use a screwdriver to turn the screws equally, smoothly, and slowly until you find the sweet spot. Regardless of whether or not the engine is running too rich or too lean, bring it down to a very lean mixture by turning both screws a quarter-turn at a time, counter-clockwise, then slowly bringing them back up to an equal and smooth mixture.
Listen to the engine to know when you’ve found the right balance. The engine should purr smoothly once you’ve found the right mixture. Any raggedness or rattling is a sign of too lean a mixture. Keep turning until you find the sweet spot.
Use a scanner to check the air-fuel mixture of the vehicle to help you get the right adjustment.
1-7. Replace the air filter assembly
When you've got the carburetor adjusted, put the air filter back on and you're ready to roll.
If you need to adjust the idle speed as well, wait to put the air filter back on until you're finished.
2. Adjusting the Idle Speed
2-1. Remove the air filter to access the carburetor.
Make sure the engine is off before locating the air filter and taking it out. Unscrew the wing-nut and any other connectors, and then remove the air filter entirely.
Consult the owner’s manual or shop guide to find out the exact location of your air filter, since it can vary depending on your make and model and engine type.
On most carbureted cars, the air cleaner housing is attached directly to the carburetor.
2-2. Find the idle adjustment screw.
There is an idle speed screw that adjusts the opening of the throttle plate, and an idle mixture screw that limits the flow of fuel at idle. You want to adjust this second screw. As always, consult the owner's manual or shop guide for your make and model, if you can't find the screws.
2-3. Start the engine and let it warm to running temperature.
Just as you did with the fuel/air mixture, let the engine warm up some to make sure you're adjusting at actual running condition.
2-4. Turn the idle adjustment screw half a turn clockwise to tighten.
Turn the screw clockwise, no more than a half-turn, and listen to the engine. Most owner's manuals will have an optimum speed to set the idle, though you have some wiggle room if you prefer it higher or lower. Consult you owner's manual for the number and consult the tachometer as you adjust.
2-5. Listen to the car's engine for sounds of roughness and readjust if necessary.
It should take about 30 seconds for the engine to adjust to the change you made, so wait a bit before making another adjustment. Make slow turns and listen closely to the response.
2-6. Replace the air filter and finish the job.
When you've got the idle adjusted to the proper specifications, or to your own preferences, kill the engine and replace the air filter to finish the job.
Tips
Tightening the idle adjustment screw increases idling speed while loosening the screw decreases idling speed.
If after adjusting the idle mechanism, the engine does not run smoothly, go back to making air and fuel adjustments and repeat the steps for both air and fuel and idling adjustments.
If your car is equipped with a tachometer, you can use this as a tool to adjust idling speed (revolutions per minute or RPMs). Check your owner's manual for the correct RPMs.
Warnings
Remember that when you are working on a carburetor, you are working with a fuel source. Take all necessary precautions for working around gasoline, such as wearing gloves and protective eyewear.[10]
X
Research source
Keep in mind you are also working on a running motor. You can seriously injure yourself or damage your engine if you are not careful. Work slowly and thoughtfully and make sure your clothes don't have any hanging strings or cords that could catch in the engine.[11]

1,395 | How to Adjust a Compound Bow | 1. Changing the Draw Weight
1-1. Locate the limb bolts.
Look for the limb bolts near the center of your compound bow. The limb bolts lie in large circular knobs that attach the bow’s arms to the riser. These bolts must be manipulated to tweak the draw weight, or the amount of tension that is placed on the bow string as it is pulled.
The riser is the central part of the bow that connects to the limbs and other mechanical components.
1-2. Loosen the limb locking screws.
Certain compound bow models use a second set of bolts or screws to hold the limb bolts in place once they’re in the right position. These can usually be found on either side of the limb bolts. They can sometimes be undone with the same Allen wrench you’ll use to adjust the limb bolts, or they may require a separate screwdriver. Loosen the locking screws to allow the limb bolts to be adjusted.
1-3. Tighten or loosen the limb bolts to the desired weight.
Insert the short arm of an Allen wrench (most commonly a 3/16 size, usually included with the bow) into the bolt and make sure it is properly slotted. Then, turn the wrench either clockwise to tighten the bolt or counterclockwise to loosen it. Adjust the tension of each arm of the bow to the preferred weight. Do this for both limb bolts, turning each bolt the same amount.
Tighten or loosen the limb bolts one full rotation at a time. This will help you keep track of the level of tension in each of the limbs.
On most compound bows, one rotation of the limb bolt translates to roughly a pound and a half of weight.
Remember to adjust the tension equally on both limbs.
1-4. Test the bow’s pull.
Secure the limb locking screws if your bow has them. Hold the bow as you ordinarily would and pull back the bowstring to test the draw weight. If you’re satisfied with how it feels, you’re done. If not, continue tinkering with the draw weight until you get it how you want it.
You should be able to draw the bow in one smooth, controlled motion.
2. Finding the Right Draw Weight
2-1. Settle on a draw weight that matches your upper body strength.
The draw weight of the bow should be determined by your level of upper body strength. If the draw feels too heavy, or it becomes difficult to continue drawing the bow after multiple shots, the tension may be too high. An excessively heavy draw weight can wear you out and throw off your shot.
Light draw weights are more manageable, but sacrifice force and velocity when propelling the arrow.
A heavier draw weight doesn’t always equal a better shot. The force and trajectory can depend just as much on the type of arrow you’re using.
2-2. Take your draw length into account.
Draw length refers to the distance it takes to pull the bowstring all the way back. The longer the draw length, the more tension that is placed on the bow and the heavier the weight of the bowstring. Make sure your bow is properly calibrated to suit your body type and measurements. If need be, take the bow to a specialist to have it modified.
The draw length of the bow should correspond directly to your arm span.
Altering the bow’s draw length is more complicated, and may have to be done by a professional.
2-3. Consider how you’ll be using the bow.
Are you taking your bow hunting, using it for a sport competition or just practicing recreationally? Hunters may favor a heavier pull to ensure that their arrows have penetrating power. Competition archers, on the other hand, should aim to use a weight that lets them shoot over and over again without causing fatigue.
Competition archers shoot more frequently and might get tired using a heavier draw weight.
Bows with different specifications and mechanical advantages are made for different kinds of sportsmen.
2-4. Choose a weight that’s comfortable.
Above all, the draw weight you decide on should feel natural in your hands. Don’t let your ego tempt you into using too heavy a bow or specifications that don’t fit your individual style. Adjust your bow until it is balanced enough to draw, hold and release without difficulty.
Always go with what feels best. It may take a little time to figure out, but in the end your bow will be better calibrated to your unique proportions, and you’ll be more accurate as a result.
3. Adjusting the Bow to Suit Your Needs
3-1. Use an average draw weight for reference.
If you’re just getting started and aren’t sure what draw weight would be best for you, take a look at some average draw weights as they’re categorized by age and sex. Children generally start with a weight of around 20-30lbs; women weighing less than 170lbs and older boys fall around 30-40lbs; women weighing over about 170lbs, older boys, and men weighing 150lbs or less might use a weight anywhere between 45-65 lbs; men between 150-200lbs use an average of 60-70lbs; men over 200lbs might use up to a 100 pound draw weight.
Try out different bow sizes and draw weights to see which you handle best.
These are just average figures, and don’t reflect the abilities of an individual archer.
3-2. Draw and hold the bow for several seconds.
Draw back the bowstring just short of full extension and hold it for about ten seconds. If you begin straining or fail to keep the bow drawn, decrease the tension a little by loosening the limb bolts one rotation at a time. You should be able to hold the bowstring taut in the position just before the wall for a few moments without a struggle.
The point at which the bowstring can’t be pulled back any further is known as the “wall.” The wall of a draw is calculated to help you find the perfect amount of tension to take a shot.
Drawing and holding is a practical exercise, as you’ll be holding the draw to aim when shooting for real.
3-3. Draw the bow with your feet off the ground.
Some archers use this method to test how comfortable they are with their bow’s draw weight. Sit in a chair and raise the bow in front of you as if you were sighting a target. Now, pick your feet up off the ground and hold them up as you pull back the bowstring. Observe how easy or difficult this feels. Keeping your feet off the floor reduces your stability and shows you more clearly how much you’re relying on the muscles of your shoulders and back to draw.
This test slightly overestimates the role of the upper body in drawing, holding and shooting, giving you more control when your feet are on the ground.
3-4. Identify where the draw feels heaviest.
As you pull back the bowstring, make a note of at what point you encounter the most resistance. The bow will normally have the highest amount of tension right before you reach the wall. If it starts getting hard in the middle of the draw or sooner, the limb bolts may need to be loosed just slightly. Similarly, if the draw feels too fast or easy, tightening the limb bolts will result in a more forceful release.
Your draw should be one fluid movement, and the bowstring should not slow down at any point during the pull.
Tips
Every bow will be a little bit different. You might feel most comfortable with a 60lb draw weight on one bow, but shoot better with a 65lb draw on another model.
You will likely need to adjust your bow many times as you gain experience. Your preferences and abilities will change and improve the more you shoot.
Notice how you perform with your bow at a certain level of tension and make adjustments that will enhance your accuracy and speed.
Warnings
Be careful not to tighten the limb bolts too much. Doing this could cause the cams (the part of the bow that connects the limbs to the bowstring) or bowstring to break.
Consult your bow's manual to find out how many times the limb bolts can be safely turned in either direction. If they are tightened or loosened beyond the bow's capacity, it may damage it.
Be sure to secure the locking screws once you’re finished. Failure to do this can cause the limb bolts to disengage and the bow to come apart, which can be very dangerous for the person holding it and anyone else nearby.

1,396 | How to Adjust a Cookie Recipe for High Altitude | 1. Steps
1-1. Do not over-beat your eggs.
This will add too much air to the cookies. With high altitude baking, the low air pressure causes the air bubbles to expand faster. The cookies will rise quickly and then collapse, making them dry and brittle.
If your cookie recipe calls for egg whites, only beat them to a soft-peak.
1-2. Reduce the amount of sugar you use in your recipe by 1 to 3 tbsp.
(12 to 36 g) for each cup (191.6g) used. Reduce the sugar by 1 tbsp. (12 g) at 3,000 feet (914.4 m), 2 tbsp. (24 g) at 5,000 feet (1,524 m) and 3 tbsp.(36 g) at 7,000 feet (2,133.6 m).
1-3. Reduce the amount of baking powder or baking soda you use by 1/8 tsp.
(0.47 g) to 1/4 tsp. (0.94 g). Reduce baking powder by 1/8 tsp. (0.47 g) at 3,000 feet (914.4 m), 1/8 to 1/4 tsp. (0.47 to 0.94 g) at 5,000 feet (1,524 m) and a full 1/4 tsp. (0.94 g) at 7,000 feet (2,133.6 m). Metric reductions for baking soda are 0.54 to 1.07 g.
1-4. Increase the liquid in the recipe to counteract the dry flour.
Add 2 to 3 tbsp. (29.6 to 44.4 ml) of water for every cup (99.4 g) of flour used at 5,000 feet (1,524 m). Increase it a further 1 to 2 tbsp. (14.8 to 29.6 ml) at 7,000 feet (2,133.6 m).
If you are cooking at 3,000 feet (914.4 m), it is not necessary to increase the liquid unless your recipe calls for a large amount of flour.
1-5. Set your oven to bake 20 degrees Fahrenheit (6 to 7 degrees Celsius) hotter than the recipe suggests.
The batter will set faster in a higher temperature and retain a moist center. This step will also save the cookies from being too dry because they aren't under the hot element for very long.
1-6. Decrease the baking time by 1 to 5 minutes.
This will depend upon how long the cookies are supposed to bake as cookie recipes can call for cook times ranging from 5 to 20 minutes.
1-7. Check on the cookies to make sure they have been adequately baked at the higher temperature.
Tips
Some cookies and cookie bars are made with similar ingredients to cakes so that they have a similar consistency. If your recipe calls for shortening, reduce the shortening by 1 to 2 tbsp. (14.2 to 28.4 g) and add an egg.
High altitude cookies need to be adjusted far less than cakes, which require a large reduction in baking powder and sugar and the addition of water.

1,397 | How to Adjust a Crimping Tool | 1. Loosening the Adjustment Wheel
1-1. Look for the adjustment wheel on the crimping tool near the bottom handle.
The adjustment wheel is a small, notched disc located on 1 side of your crimping tool. It is held in place by a small screw that slots into the notches or through the middle of the wheel. Look on both sides of your crimping tool near the bottom handle to find this disc.
If you don’t see an adjustment wheel, your crimping tool is not adjustable. Some crimping tools self-adjust, so you don’t need to make any manual adjustments to them. These types of crimping tools will auto-adjust the crimping force as you squeeze the handles together to suit the sizes of the wires you are crimping.
1-2. Set your crimping tool on a flat surface with the adjustment wheel face-up.
Lay the tool flat on a work surface so that the side with the adjustment wheel is facing you. This will allow you to remove the screw that holds it in place and make adjustments.
Orient the tool so that the bottom handle with the wheel is closest to you to make it easier to adjust it.
1-3. Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the adjustment wheel’s locking screw.
Insert the tip of a very small Phillips screwdriver into the Phillips screw that holds the adjustment wheel in place. Turn it counterclockwise until you unscrew it all the way, then set the screw aside where you won’t lose it.
The screw is very tiny and easy to lose, so set it in a cup or dish where it will be safe from getting knocked onto the floor.
All adjustable crimping tools are adjusted the same way. No matter what brand of tool you have, you will have to remove the screw that holds the adjustment wheel in place to make adjustments.
2. Changing the Crimping Force
2-1. Turn the adjustment wheel towards the minus sign to decrease force.
Look closely at the adjustment wheel to spot the plus and minus signs that indicate which direction to move it in. Rotate the wheel 1 notch towards the minus sign to decrease the crimping force of your tool.
Some crimping tools might have numbers around the adjustment wheel instead of a plus and minus sign. If this is the case for your crimping tool, move the wheel to a lower number to decrease the crimping force.
2-2. Move the adjusting wheel towards the plus sign to increase force.
Look for the plus sign on the crimping tool’s adjustment wheel. Turn the wheel 1 notch in the direction of this plus sign to increase the crimping force of the tool.
If your crimping tool has numbers instead of a plus and minus sign, turn the adjustment wheel to a higher number to increase the crimping force.
2-3. Replace the screw that holds the adjusting wheel in place and tighten it.
Carefully insert the small Phillips screw back into the hole next to the adjustment wheel. Use your Phillips screwdriver to tighten it all the way to lock the adjustment wheel in place.
2-4. Test your tool and repeat the process if you want to adjust the force further.
Make a sample crimp on a scrap pair of wires. Leave your crimping tool at the current setting if you are happy with the crimp or repeat the process to make further adjustments by moving the adjustment wheel 1 notch at a time, testing it after each adjustment.
If you aren’t sure how to tell whether the crimping force is correct, try your tool out at a few different settings. Whichever setting crimps 2 wires together more neatly is probably the best for your purposes.
Tips
Always test your crimping tool out on scrap wire after you make adjustments to it before you use it on wires that you want to actually crimp to ensure that the crimping force setting is right.

1,398 | How to Adjust a Deployment Clasp | 1. Opening the Deployment Clasp
1-1. Place your watch flat on a clean surface.
The two leather straps should not be buckled together. A table or countertop are good options, but make sure you’ve wiped them first. Dirt will scratch the crystal face of your watch when you flip it over.
You could also lay a clean cloth across the surface and place your watch on top of that, for extra cushion and protection from scratching.
1-2. Pull on the metal buckle to begin opening a standard deployment clasp.
The deployment clasp is located where the watch buckle attaches to the leather strap. Firmly grasp the leather strap with one hand, then place the finger and thumb of your other hand on opposite sides of the metal buckle. Pull on the buckle, away from the strap.
It will snap open, revealing half of the metal deployment clasp.
1-3. Finish opening the clasp by pulling on the now-open section.
Keep one hand on the leather strap. With your other hand, grasp the flat, open piece of the deployment clasp and pull firmly away from the strap. This will open the deployment clasp completely.
At this point, the deployment clasp will be completely extended to its longest position.
The deployment clasp is made up of three hinged portions. This is known as a “butterfly clasp” because the two side pieces can flap back and forth like the wings of a butterfly.
1-4. Press the buttons on the buckle to open it, if it’s a push button clasp.
Certain watches are outfitted with push button deployment clasps, which are slightly easier to open than standard deployment clasps. Locate two small buttons on either side of the metal watch buckle. Press these buttons simultaneously with your thumb and forefinger, and the deployment clasp will spring fully open.
Push button buckles offer additional security and prevent the clasp from opening on its own.
Once open, push button clasps and standard deployment clasps are adjusted the same way.
2. Changing the Length of the Band
2-1. Pry open the metal buckle at the end of the deployment clasp.
The clasp is made of two hinged pieces of metal. Insert your thumbs into the space between the two flaps of the buckle and pull them apart. They should click open and reveal a small pin, known as the post.
The larger top flap is typically embossed with the brand name of the watch, while the bottom flap is smaller and unmarked.
If you are unable to open the flap with your fingers, use a penny or similarly-sized coin. Insert the penny between the branded top and the unmarked flap. Twist the coin to either side. The pressure should force the flap to drop open.
New watch buckles are often more difficult to open.
2-2. Thread the other leather strap through the now-open buckle.
Flip the watch over so the crystal face is pointing down. Slip the end of the strap without the deployment clasp into the buckle, between the two metal flaps.
Continue threading it through until the band has reached your desired length.
Note that the watch will look larger now than it will once the deployment clasp is closed again. Keep that in mind while adjusting the length of the strap.
2-3. Put the post through the desired hole in the leather strap.
The leather strap will feature a row of small holes through the center. Push the metal post through one of the holes, taking a best guess at which one will best fit your wrist if you don’t already know.
It will be easy to re-adjust the length of your watch band, so don’t worry about making it too small or too large at this point if you’re not sure exactly which hole to use.
2-4. Press the flaps of the buckle together to snap it shut.
Close the flap by pressing it back up toward the branded top bar. Fold the clasp thirds back up, pushing the top and bottom in between your fingers until you hear a click.
Pull gently on the deployment clasp to make sure the buckle is fully locked in place.
3. Wearing the Watch
3-1. Put on the watch and close the non-buckle side of the clasp.
Slip the watch over your hand and onto your wrist. Fold the non-buckle side of the deployment clasp closed and snap it shut with your thumb and forefinger.
You’ll hear a small click, which means that it is fully secured.
3-2. Slip the end of the leather strap through the leather loop and push down.
Grab the end of the leather band without the buckle and slide it through the small leather loop on the other band. Push it through until it lays flat against the other band, then push down gently against your wrist with your finger. The second half of the deployment clasp will snap shut.
You will hear another small click as the deployment clasp snaps fully shut.
At this point, the watch band is secure on your wrist.
The band should be tight enough to stay on your wrist without turning or slipping off your hand, but it should not be tight enough to dig into your skin or cut off any circulation.
3-3. Adjust the watch as needed by re-opening the deployment clasp.
If you need to make any adjustments, open the watch by either pulling up on the buckle or pressing the buttons on the buckle, depending on your watch type. Follow the same steps to adjust the length: Remove the watch from your wrist, re-open the buckle, and adjust which hole the post goes through. Then, put the watch back on and close the clasp.
Repeat as needed until you achieve the correct fit.
3-4. Use the deployment clasp to remove your watch.
Once the band has been adjusted to fit your wrist, you will not need to repeat these adjustments. Each time you want to wear the watch, open the deployment clasp and expand the band to its widest position. Slip the band onto your wrist, slide the leather band through the loop, and close the clasp.
Deployment clasps are designed to preserve the lifespan of watch bands by reducing wear on the leather straps.
Tips
Watches with metal links also feature deployment clasps. These types of watches cannot be adjusted at home, however. You’ll need to take it to a jeweler who can remove the correct number of metal links to fit the watch to your wrist.[12]

1,399 | How to Adjust a Door Closer | 1. Changing the Swing Speed of a Door Closer
1-1. Locate the tension adjustment screw at the end of the pneumatic cylinder.
Door closers consist of a pneumatic cylinder, which controls the speed of the door, and a bracket, which holds the cylinder to the door. Look at the end of the cylinder closest to the bracket, with the door closed, to see the adjustment screw.
Tightening and loosening the adjustment screw makes the cylinder close the door slower or faster.
Some door closers might have one screw, while others will have two.
1-2. Take the cover off the door closer if you can't find the adjustment screw.
Some door closers have a case that covers the cylinder and bracket. You might need to remove the cover to access the adjustment screw if you don't see it while the cover is on. Removable covers can be pried off gently, because they're held to the door closer by the power of suction alone.
Some covers are not meant to be removed. These have a clearly marked adjustment screw that is exposed on the outside of an end of the cover. If it's not obvious which screw is the adjustment screw, you will have to experiment by loosening or tightening screws one at a time, then closing the door to test it.
1-3. Turn the screw clockwise to make the door close slower.
Use a screwdriver to tighten the adjustment screw slightly if the door is closing too fast. This will change the speed of the pneumatic cylinder to slow the door down.
Make very minor adjustments—maybe 1/8 of a turn at a time—until you're happy with how the door closes.
Test the door by opening and letting the door close to see how much slower it closes. Keep making minor adjustments until the door closes at the desired speed.
1-4. Turn the screw counterclockwise to make the door close faster.
Loosen the adjustment screw slightly with a screwdriver if your door is closing too slowly. This will adjust the speed of the pneumatic cylinder to speed the door up.
Make sure not to completely unscrew the adjustment screw, or the cylinder could come apart and start leaking pneumatic fluid.
2. Making a Door Latch Firmly
2-1. Press up on the pin that holds the cylinder to the bracket to remove it.
Close the door completely and locate the pin that holds the pneumatic cylinder to the bracket. Slide it up and out to release the cylinder from the bracket.
Door closers have a pneumatic cylinder, which controls the swing speed of the door, and a bracket, which connects the pneumatic cylinder to the door. Look where the arm of the cylinder connects to the bracket to find the pin you need to remove.
Most door closers have 2-3 different holes that you can use to attach the cylinder closer to or further away from the bracket to adjust the closing pressure.
2-2. Put the pin in the hole furthest away from the cylinder to make the door latch.
Align the holes on the arm of the cylinder underneath the holes furthest away on the bracket. Slide the pin back in to hold the cylinder and the bracket together and make the door close harder and latch all the way.
Your door won't latch all the way if there is not enough pressure in the last several inches when it closes. Connecting the cylinder closer to the bracket creates more pressure in the final stages of closing so the door will latch firmly.
If the cylinder is already attached to the bracket through the hole furthest away from it, and the door still doesn't latch properly, then you will need to adjust the position of the bracket on the door.
2-3. Change the position of the bracket on the door if moving the pin doesn't work.
Loosen the screws that attach the bracket to the door. Slide the bracket further away from the cylinder, closer to the door handle, to create more closing pressure.
Most door closer brackets have slotted holes so you are able to slide them left to right to make adjustments without completely removing the screws.
If none of these adjustments works, then your door closer may be worn out and you will need to buy a new one to replace it. Look for a similar model so you can simply unscrew the old one and screw the new one back into the same position.

1,400 | How to Adjust a Double Bass Bridge | 1. Adjusting Your Bridge by Hand
1-1. Place the bass face-up on a flat, sturdy surface.
Find a large, open space in your home or practice area where you can lay your double bass flat on the ground. Always keep the bridge and strings face-up so the instrument isn’t damaged.
If you don’t have a lot of room in your home, place your bass on your bed.
1-2. Check that your bridge lines up with the notches in the F holes.
Take a close look at large, symmetrical F holes on both sides of your base. On the inner edge of each opening, look for a carefully etched notch—these notches form an invisible, horizontal line across your instrument, and represent where your bridge should be placed. Look at your bridge to see if it’s centered over this line, or if it needs to be adjusted.
The F holes are the large, curvy openings on the front of your bass that resemble a cursive F.
It’s okay if your bridge isn’t exactly straight—it’s easy to adjust!
1-3. Measure the vibrating string length with a ruler.
Check online or contact your luthier, or bass maker, and see what the vibrating length of your bass string is. Use this number as a guide when measuring the string from the tuning pegs down to the bridge.
The vibrating length of the string is the ideal length of the string between the top of the instrument and the bridge. If this section of string is too short, then your bridge has shifted forward and needs to be readjusted.
Some basses have a vibrating string length of about 41 ⁄2 in (105 cm).
1-4. Pinch the outside of the bridge with your thumb and middle finger.
Grip the outside edges of your bridge firmly to hold it in place. Keep your arm and hand tucked beneath the strings so you don’t hurt your bass in the process.
1-5. Push the bridge with the thumb of your opposite hand.
Place your fingers on top of the strings, centering your thumb next to the top of the bridge. Force the bridge backwards until it’s completely perpendicular to the base of the instrument.
Don’t use your fingers to pinch and adjust the bridge. Using your thumb is an accurate way to adjust your instrument without possibly harming the bridge piece.
Measure with a small ruler or other straight object to see if your bridge forms a 90-degree angle with the rest of the instrument.
1-6. Try to slide a small sheet of paper beneath the feet of your bridge.
Place the paper flat on your instrument, then try to push it beneath the bridge feet. If your bridge is completely sturdy and well-adjusted, you won’t be able to slide the paper beneath the bridge whatsoever.
If you can slide the paper beneath your bridge, you’ll need to make a few more adjustments.
1-7. Push on the bridge with your thumb to make any final adjustments.
Use both hands to tweak and adjust the bridge. Double-check the string length against your ruler or measuring tape for extra confirmation.
2. Using an Adjustable Bridge
2-1. Check that the height of your “G” and “D” strings is 5 to 6 mm (0.20 to 0.24 in).
Measure the gap between each bass string and the fingerboard. Keep in mind that the leftmost 2 strings (D and G), or the “G side” need to be 5 to 6 mm (0.20 to 0.24 in) above the fingerboard.
This is a good measurement for solo bass music. If you’re using orchestral strings, you can raise your strings to 8 or 9 mm (0.31 or 0.35 in) above the fingerboard, depending on how the strings feel.
2-2. Measure your “E” and “A” strings to see if they’re 7 to 8 mm (0.28 to 0.31 in) high.
Use a ruler to see how high your bass strings sit above the fingerboard. Check that your strings are around 7 to 8 mm (0.28 to 0.31 in) away from the fingerboard, or jot down what the current measurement is.
Use your own discretion when adjusting your strings. If a certain measurement feels more comfortable, go with that. When your strings have more tension, they tend to sound brighter.
2-3. Loosen the tuning pegs before making any adjustments.
Rotate your tuning pegs to the right to loosen the strings a little bit. You don’t need to loosen or unwind the strings all the way—just enough so your strings aren’t super tight and tense along the bridge.
Unlike other string instruments, double basses use special pegs for tuning and string adjustments. Turn these pegs to the left to loosen the strings, and twist them to the right to tighten the strings.
2-4. Rotate the wheels on your bass bridge to raise or lower your strings.
Look above the feet of your bridge to find adjustable metal rings. Test out these rings by turning them slightly, and see if your bridge goes up or down. Use these wheels as needed to lift and lower your strings along your bridge.
2-5. Double-check and tweak your string height before you play.
Measure between the string and the fingerboard to see how high your strings are hovering. If they seem a bit too high or low, make a few final adjustments with your bridge until you’re happy with the string height.
2-6. Tighten and re-tune the strings so you can play your bass.
Rotate the machine pegs counter clockwise to tighten the strings and add more tension to the instrument. Check that each string is in tune with a digital tuner so you can get back to playing your double bass!
Tips
If you’ve made adjustments and your bridge still seems unbalanced, measure how far the bridge feet are from the F holes in the bass. Keep in mind that both feet need to be equidistant from these holes.[17]
X
Research source
Warnings
The backside of the bridge, or the side that faces the floor when the instrument is upright, must always be straight. If the wood ever looks curved or warped, take your bass to a professional for repairs.[18]

If your bridge is completely sturdy and well-adjusted, you won’t be able to slide the paper beneath the bridge whatsoever.\\nIf you can slide the paper beneath your bridge, you’ll need to make a few more adjustments.\\n1-7. Push on the bridge with your thumb to make any final adjustments.\\nUse both hands to tweak and adjust the bridge. Double-check the string length against your ruler or measuring tape for extra confirmation.\\n2. Using an Adjustable Bridge\\n2-1. Check that the height of your “G” and “D” strings is 5 to 6 mm (0.20 to 0.24 in).\\nMeasure the gap between each bass string and the fingerboard. Keep in mind that the leftmost 2 strings (D and G), or the “G side” need to be 5 to 6 mm (0.20 to 0.24 in) above the fingerboard.\\nThis is a good measurement for solo bass music. If you’re using orchestral strings, you can raise your strings to 8 or 9 mm (0.31 or 0.35 in) above the fingerboard, depending on how the strings feel.\\n2-2. Measure your “E” and “A” strings to see if they’re 7 to 8 mm (0.28 to 0.31 in) high.\\nUse a ruler to see how high your bass strings sit above the fingerboard. Check that your strings are around 7 to 8 mm (0.28 to 0.31 in) away from the fingerboard, or jot down what the current measurement is.\\nUse your own discretion when adjusting your strings. If a certain measurement feels more comfortable, go with that. When your strings have more tension, they tend to sound brighter.\\n2-3. Loosen the tuning pegs before making any adjustments.\\nRotate your tuning pegs to the right to loosen the strings a little bit. You don’t need to loosen or unwind the strings all the way—just enough so your strings aren’t super tight and tense along the bridge.\\nUnlike other string instruments, double basses use special pegs for tuning and string adjustments. Turn these pegs to the left to loosen the strings, and twist them to the right to tighten the strings.\\n2-4. Rotate the wheels on your bass bridge to raise or lower your strings.\\nLook above the feet of your bridge to find adjustable metal rings. Test out these rings by turning them slightly, and see if your bridge goes up or down. Use these wheels as needed to lift and lower your strings along your bridge.\\n2-5. Double-check and tweak your string height before you play.\\nMeasure between the string and the fingerboard to see how high your strings are hovering. If they seem a bit too high or low, make a few final adjustments with your bridge until you’re happy with the string height.\\n2-6. Tighten and re-tune the strings so you can play your bass.\\nRotate the machine pegs counter clockwise to tighten the strings and add more tension to the instrument. Check that each string is in tune with a digital tuner so you can get back to playing your double bass!\\nTips\\nIf you’ve made adjustments and your bridge still seems unbalanced, measure how far the bridge feet are from the F holes in the bass.

1,401 | How to Adjust a Dual Adjustable Pulley | 1. Moving the Pulleys
1-1. Locate the adjustment button or lever on the pulley.
Check the backside or the side of the pulley. Look for a knob-like button or a lever that’s locked into place.
Some dual pulley machines may have a guard or cover over the button so it doesn’t accidentally get activated while you’re working out.
1-2. Pull the button or push the lever to disengage the pulley.
Hold the pulley with 1 hand and use your other hand to pull the button. You’ll feel a pin slide out of the slot locking it in place. If the pulley uses a lever, press the lever up to release the locking mechanism.
Releasing the locking mechanism means the pulley can drop to the floor, so make sure you’re holding onto it with 1 of your hands!
If you’re having trouble pulling the button or pushing the lever, use 1 hand to slightly lift the pulley to make it easier to disengage the lock.
1-3. Slide the pulley up or down to your preferred height.
Use your hands to raise or lower the pulley. When you’ve adjusted it to the height you want it based on the exercises you plan to do, keep it held in place.
For example, if you plan to do bicep curls, you’ll want to lower the pulley all the way to the floor. But if you want to do an exercise like tricep pushdowns, raise the pulley all of the way to the top. For an exercise like back rows, place the pulley so it’s even with your chest.
If the pulley uses a button, keep the button pulled out as you slide the pulley up or down so it doesn’t lock into place.
Most pulley machines have a numbering system on the pulley rail that you can use to choose a height.
1-4. Release the button or lever to lock the pulley in place.
Keeping the pulley held where you want it, let go of the button or press the lever down to lock it in place. Give the pulley a good wiggle to make sure it’s locked in and won’t come loose.
1-5. Change the height of the other pulley so they match.
Hold the pulley with 1 hand and pull the button or push the lever to disengage the lock. Slide the pulley up or down to line it up with the other pulley so they’re even. Release the button or push the lever to lock it in place.
If the pulley has numbered markings on the rail, use them to match the 2 pulley heights. For example, if the first pulley is set to a 5, adjust the other pulley so it’s also set to 5.
2. Changing the Weight
2-1. Find the weight stack on the interior of the machine.
Dual adjustable pulley machines use weight plates to add resistance to the cables. Check on the inside of the pulley machine or on the backside. Look for a stack of thin metal plates with numbered markings on them to locate the weight stack.
Most pulley machines will have weights listed in ascending order, or smallest to largest. For instance, the first plate may be labeled “5” for 5 pounds (2.3 kg), the second plate may say “10” for 10 pounds (4.5 kg), and so on.
2-2. Pull the selector pin out of the weight plate.
Look for a metal pin in the center of 1 of the weight plates. Pull the pin and slide it all of the way out of the plate.
Some pins are designed to be a little difficult to remove as an added safety measure. You may need to tug or yank on the pin to get it out.
Make sure you aren’t pulling on the cable or there isn’t a handle attached to the carabiner on the end. The weight of a handle can slightly elevate the plate and make it difficult to remove the pin.
2-3. Slide the pin into a different plate to adjust the weight on the pulley.
Look at the numbered markings on the front of the plates. Choose the weight you want to adjust the pulley system to and slide into the plate until it’s all of the way inside.
If you haven’t used the machine before, or you’re trying a new exercise, start low with something like 10 pounds (4.5 kg). If it’s too easy, you can always add more weight!
Some pins may snap or click into place when they’re fully inserted.
2-4. Adjust the weight on the other pulley so they match.
Find the pin connected to a weight plate and pull it out. Slide the pin into a plate with the same weight marking as the other pulley so they’re the same weight.
You want both pulleys to have the same amount of resistance so there isn’t an imbalance when you work out.
3. Using Accessories
3-1. Attach handles to the carabiner to use the pulley machine.
Dual adjustable pulley systems allow you to change the types of handles you use for different exercises and variations. Look at the rack on or near the machine and choose a handle. Connect the handle to the carabiner on the end of the pulley cable. Then, attach a matching handle to the cable of the other pulley so they match.
Choose handles that give you a strong and comfortable grip.
3-2. Connect a rope attachment to 1 pulley for arm exercises.
Many pulley machines include an optional rope attachment, which allows you to use 2 hands to grip it as a handle. Connect the rope attachment to 1 pulley and hold it with both hands to work different arm exercises.
For example, you adjust the pulley so it’s all the way down near the floor, and use the rope attachment for bicep curls.
You could also adjust the pulley so it’s head height and push down on the handles to work your triceps.
3-3. Wrap an ankle strap around your ankle for different leg exercises.
If there’s an ankle strap, wrap it around your ankle tightly so it’s secure. Adjust the pulley so it’s low to the floor and connect the strap to the carabiner on the pulley cable. Choose a weight and use the attachment to try different leg exercises.
For instance, with the strap attached to your ankle, stand next to the pulley so you’re facing it and carefully lift your leg behind you to work your hamstrings and glutes.
3-4. Use the bar on top of the pulley for pullups.
Many dual adjustable pulley systems have a crossbar at the top of the machine. Grip the crossbar with both hands and use it to do pullups. You could also hang from the bar and raise your legs to do hanging leg raises, which work your abs.
3-5. Place a weight bench between the pulleys for bench presses.
Adjust both pulleys so they’re all of the way down to the floor and slide a weight bench between them. Choose a weight and lie on your back on the bench. Grip both handles and push them up above your chest until your arms are straight. Lower your arms until your hands are even with your chest and then push them back up again.
For a good bench press workout, which works your chest and arms, aim for 3-5 sets of 8-10 repetitions.
Always choose a weight appropriate for you to avoid injury.
3-6. Store the accessories on the rack if there’s one attached to the machine.
Some dual adjustable pulley systems have a built-in storage rack located either on the side or the back of the machine. When you’re finished with an exercise, take off the handles or accessories and place them on the rack so they’re stored properly.
Tips
The main benefits of a dual adjustable pulley are the sheer amount of variations and options you have. Play around with different handles and exercises to find what works best for you.
Many dual adjustable pulley machines have placards attached to them with examples of exercises you can do with the machine. If you’re not sure what to do, or if you want to make sure you’re using the machine correctly, check out the placard.
Warnings
Don’t use weights that are too heavy for you to avoid straining or injuring yourself.
