Leveling the Machine 

Using the supplied bubble level, a 19 mm wrench, and the stabilizer feet 
on the bottom, level the machine with the earth. Do this by placing the 
bubble level on the top of each side of the machine and adjusting the 
stabilizer feet as needed. During this, the stabilizer feet will be lowered and 
the casters raised in the air. The machine is level when the bubble is 
between the two lines, pictured below.
