Adjusting Platform Float

Adjust gauge shoes and top link before adjusting platform float.

Use lightest float setting that allows platform to remain firmly on the ground without bouncing. The platform should follow uneven ground without gouging or scraping. An initial starting point should be within specifications at each end of platform.
