3. Measure carrier frame height at location B
(Figure 78).
4. The height at location A must be a 1/4-3/8
inch (6 mm -10 mm) lower than location B
(Figure 78).
5. If the carrier frame is not correct, move caster
spacers to make it a 1/4-3/8 inch (6 -10 mm)

bottom to make the correct pitch.
6. The tire pressure may also be adjusted slightly
