1. There must be weight on the axle when making this adjustment, so leave
the machine on the ground. Alternately, the unit can be raised back up
onto the and then use the axle jack to raise up on the axle until the it
relieves slack from the springs. This procedure will make it easier to work
on the machine to make the remaining adjustments.

checked.
3. The included angle between the axle tube and the brake rotor disk is 60
4. If adjustment is required, turn the hub until you measure a 60 degree
angle with an adjustable protractor or template. Move the stop bolt out
until it contacts the axle pivot weldment.

NOTE: If stop bolt supplied with axle is not long enough to make adjustment,
replace it with a 1/2-13x2.50 hex bolt.
