Shimano Alfine 8 Internal Gear Hub Bearing Adjustment.

Hi all,

I'm building a bike with a new Alfine 8 hub and I'm wondering if I should adjust the bearing cones before installing it. It feels like it might be a little rough/tight. I can't find any information online regarding bearing adjustment.

Should I adjust it? If so, how? There appears to be an adjustable cone and lock-nut on each side. Any insight would be appreciated.
