Before assembly the disks need to be covered in Damping Grease. Each grease has its own vicosity.
If you are using the farnell grease then one side of two disks needs to be covered (ensure they face out to run on the square sections. If you are using the MUTR grease then half of one side will be enough. It is worth dry fitting the unit and holding it with tape whilst a test is made to ensure you are happy with the level of drag.
