Slight adjustments of the side bolts on the outer blade wheel
are usually all that is necessary to track the blade properly.

this procedure until the blade tracks on the blade wheels properly.

occured while adjusting the cant control.

serious injury. Be sure the blade housing and pulley covers are in
place and secure.
