Because there often are NO symptoms of a valve out of adjustment........until there is damage that can't be fixed with a simple adjustment. This is especially true of designs with multiple valves per port.

I think the recommended intervals are extremely short for the GZ. I intend to have mine checked at about 2X the recommended interval......sooner if there are symptoms.
