Adjusting the Height-of-Cut

The height-of-cut is adjustable from 1 to 4 inches (25 to
102 mm) in 1/2 inch (13 mm) increments, by adding or
removing an equal number of spacers on the front and rear
castor forks. The height-of-cut chart below gives the
combinations of spacers to use for all height-of-cut settings.
