Depth Stop (Fig. 1)

Depth stop is set at the factory for a new 14" (455 mm) wheel to prevent wheel from cutting into the supporting surface. To allow more depth of cut, use the 8 mm hex wrench provided (G) to loosen the depth stop bolt (M) and raise bolt to desired height and then turn jam nut (P) clockwise until seated firmly on the casting. Securely tighten the depth stop bolt before use.
