Add shims in order to provide a clearance of 0.13 mm (.005 inch) to 0.89 mm (.035 inch).Note: The shims that are required should be divided evenly between the upper wear strips and the lower wear strips.
Install the top retaining plate and install the bottom retaining plate.
Start the engine. Raise the blade, so that the blade will clear the ground. Sideshift the blade through the entire limit of travel. Measure the clearance between the wear strips and the blade. This will allow you to determine the location of the minimum clearance.
