Usually a good place to start with air pressure is your body weight from lbs to psi. You'll probably adjust this every ride and mid-ride depending on conditions. But if you're quickly going over a rock garden, you don't want it to go so slow that the shock basically just compresses until there's nothing left. This is important to know because if you go off a big drop, you don't want your shock sproinging back suddenly and throwing you off the bike. Turning it to the left will make it faster, turning it to the right will make it slower (If you're facing the shock from the front of it like this). One extreme should have the shock returning much more slowly than the other extreme. Turn it all the way in the other directino and push on it again. Turn it all the way one direction and push on the seat of the bike. Typically you want it open for absorbing bumps, on propedal for climbing or smooth, flat riding. Having the blue lever to the left will make the shock open or "active". That stiffens up the initial part of the stroke (makes the shock stiffer, essentially). ProPedal is when your little blue lever is flicked to the right. I hope you've found enough information, but if you haven't: If you want a more firm ride turn it up to 3, if you want soft and plush keep it off. If it the shock feels like it is kicking, you need to slow the rebound (the kicking force will be greater with more air pressure) Your goal is have the rebound as fast a possible without it feeling like it is kicking. Now a starting point for the rebound for you weight I would say would be 2 clicks from the fastest for the rear. Keep adding/removing air until you reach 25% of the total distance. Measure that distance that is your sag distance. Now get off the bike, the o-rings will have moved. Now sit on the bike and act like you are riding it. So find I place you can sit on you bike and still be upright, I use a chair and keep myself balanced from that. Turn propedal off for the following steps. So thats 25% of the silver parts, they all have different lengths so you'll have to use a tap measure. Now sag is how much the shock gives just under your static weight. Now that being said You want sag around 25% on front and rear shock. If you don't have a shock pump stop reading and go buy one, no adjustments can be made without one.

From the sounds of I would go back to the shop and make them show you how to set it. So you might be putting more weight on your rear tire than your front, as compared to another person. There is alot of things to adjust, and those settings all depend on your weight as it is on your bike. The bike shop should have shown you this and set it up right the first ride.
