CASTER HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
AXLE HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
These models have five (5) axle positions; four (4) 1/2" caster spacers; one (1) 3/16" caster
spacer, and four (4) blade spacers.
NOTE: The axle positions are in 1/2" increments and the large caster spacers are
1/2" thick. Therefore, by adjusting the same number of 1/2" caster spacers as axle
hole positions the blades will retain the same front-to-back tip (rake).
