gap within the specifications listed on the following blade
gap table. Do not shim the upper blades. Use only
Genesis shim kits.

Slowly close jaws until blades begin to bypass. Check
blade gap with a feeler gauge.
Cycle the jaws slowly and continue checking the gap at
several points along the entire length of the blades.
Note: The gap will be consistent along the entire length
of the blades if they have been rotated and shimmed
correctly.
If blade gap exceeds the maximum listed on the table
above, shim lower blades. Blades must be replaced when
shims exceed 0.060”.
Shimming Procedure
Loosen blade bolts.
Install shims between blades and adjustment plates as
needed to bring into tolerance.
Torque bolts to spec and recheck tolerances.
Do not use more than 0.060” of shims.
