Default How to Adjust Ankey Sway Bar?

I just put in an Ankeny bar, to replace my Gendron bar. The principal sales point to me was the ease of adjustment.

But now that I have it in, I have no idea what rotating the blades does in the way of adjustment, or why.

Can anyone here fill me in?

Thanks.

I've had my ARE bar for 2 winters now. My only advice is lots of anti-seize on the bolts and blades.
Right now, I can only adjust one of the 2 blades. Both were seized but I was able to free one of them with my primitive hand tools and lots of WD40. Will work on the other one after Packwood NT/Pro when the car goes back into storage for another winter.
