high or too low re-set as follows:
Insert the ball end setting tool
through the slot at the pivot end
of the main lever and insert end
of tool into the slot of the adjusting set screw in the secondary lever. Rotate
the set screw clockwise to increase height and anti-clockwise to reduce

main lever is released that the two fingers of the lever are positioned
between the two engraved setting-lines on the face of the gauge plate.
Re-adjust as necessary and when set remove the Height Gauge.
