IMPORTANT
The minimum size of the shim that contacts the
leveler frame (i.e., the top shim of each shim stack)
must be at least 4-1/2 x 4-1/2 in. (114.3 x 114.3
mm) to support the full width of the hoist cylinder /
storage prop weldment.
Use the thickest shim stock possible for stability
and weld penetration purposes. DO NOT use
multiple layers of 1/8 in. (3.18 mm) or thinner shim
stock.
