1. The combined thickness of the left and right adjustment shims is obtained by the following formula.
Shim thickness (mm {in}) =B-A+ (0.01-0.03 {0.0004-0.0118 in})
2. If the combined thickness of the previously assembled adjustment shims is equal to the calculated
thickness, use the shims as they are.
3. If the combined thickness of the previously assembled adjustment shims is not equal to the calculated
thickness, or if the adjustment shims have to be replaced, select two appropriate adjustment shims from
the table below.
