3. Measure carrier-frame height at location B
4. The height at location A must be 3 to 10 mm (1/8 inch
to 3/8 inch) lower than location B
5. If the carrier frame is not correct, move caster spacers
to make it an 3 to 10 mm (1/8 inch to 3/8 inch) pitch
(Figure 69).
6. Move spacers from the top or bottom to make the
correct pitch.
7. The tire pressure may also be adjusted slightly to make
an 3 to 10 mm (1/8 inch to 3/8 inch) pitch.
