number of rear spacers needed for the desired
aggressiveness-of-cut setting; refer to
Chart (Models 03188, 03189, 03190, and 03191)

Important:
When set properly, the rear
and front rollers will contact the gauge
bar and the screw will be snug against the
bedknife. This ensures that the height-of-cut
is identical at both ends of the bedknife.
5.
Tighten the nuts to secure adjustment.
Note:
Do not overtighten the nuts. Tighten
them just enough to remove any play from the
washer.
