Normally they are shipped with some tension on the springs, but same policy applies here as with many other such things ... never trust, always double check. Loosen the locknut so that it no longer has any effect and count the number of 360-degree turns of the main screw that it takes to completely unload the spring (you'll feel it, it's pretty easy). Then turn it in the number of turns that you want and snug up the locknut. Done.
AFAICT those instructions are generic to all such emulators regardless of design, which might not necessarily be appropriate for your actual forks and your actual preferences.
