How to adjust the lever position on your Bondtech LGX eXtruder?

The lever on the LGX eXtruder comes with 6 different positions for tensioning to filaments of varying rigidity. To tension the eXtruder to your filament, use the instructions below:
Please Note: The lever should be pushed all the way to the left (from the perspective of facing the LGX eXtruder) before moving the lever position into any of the positions shown below.
