3.10 Vertical Adjustment of Idle-Side Blade Wheel
1. Attach the alignment tool to the blade near the idle-side blade guide.
2. Measure from the bottom of the tool to the bed rail at both ends of the tool. If the measurements are
not equal (± 1.5 mm), adjust the idle-side blade wheel in the vertical plane.
See Figure 3-8. To tilt the idle-side blade wheel up, loosen the lower nut and adjustment screw
1/2 turn, loosen the nut on the upper adjustment screw and tighten the upper screw. Then tighten the
upper and lower nut.
To tilt the idle-side wheel down, loosen the upper adjustment screw 1/2 turn, loosen the nut on the
lower adjustment screw and tighten the lower screw. Tighten the upper and lower nut.
3. Recheck the vertical tilt of the idle-side blade wheel. If it is still incorrect, repeat the adjustment
procedure.
4. Check the position of the blade on the blade wheel.
