2. Remove the tensioning cap from the spindle shaft
(Figure 20) and slide the spindle out of castor arm.
Put the two shims (1/8 inch [3 mm]) onto spindle
shaft as they were originally installed. These shims
are required to achieve a level across the entire width
of the cutting units. Slide the appropriate number
of 1/2 inch spacers onto the spindle shaft to get the
desired height-of-cut; then slide the washer onto
the shaft.

Adjusting the Skids
The skids should be mounted in the lower position
when operating in height of cuts greater than 2-1/2
inches (64 mm) and in the higher position when
operating in height of cuts lower than 2-1/2 inches (64
mm).
Adjust the skids by removing the flange bolt and nuts,
positioning them as desired, and installing the fasteners
(Figure 24).
