5. Cutting edge of knife (A) should be behind rear guide (B) according to specification distance (C).

Specification

6. If top edge of knife (A) is less than specification behind guide (B), the belt is too short. Adjust idler upward in idler arm slot (D) until dimension (C) is according to specification when spring coils begin to separate.
