Checking Carrier Frame Front-to-Rear Pitch
(Floating Deck)
The carrier frame must have a pitch of 1/4 in. (6mm)
over the length of 24 inches (6.1cm) on the carrier
frame.
1. Measure out 24 inches (6.1cm) on the carrier
frame (Figure 149).
2. Measure carrier frame height at location A (Figure
149).
3. Measure carrier frame height at location B (Figure
149).
4. The height at location A must be 1/4-3/8 in. (6mm
- 10mm) lower than location B (Figure 149).
5. If the carrier frame is not correct, move caster
