2. Move the cutting unit into position in front of the

(Fig. 5). The distance should be 2-3/4 in. (70 mm). If
the distance is not 2-3/4 in. (70 mm), loosen the jam nut
securing the ball joint to the push arm and rotate the
ball joint in or out until the correct distance is attained
(Fig. 5). Do not tighten the jam nut at this time.
