I have an r4330 that is not cutting evenly. Over a 6 inch width one side of the board is .02 inches thinner than the other. When I look in the manual it mentions adjusting "elevation nuts" but does not tell me what these are. All I can assume is that it is referring to the levelers for the wings, which doesn't seem helpful. The other solutions it offers for the problem just say "refer to qualified service professional". Can anyone please advise? I've not taken the head out yet, but I have gotten under it and looked around and I don't see any adjustments.

Thanks.

When you turn the crank to raise or lower the heads you are turning the four threaded posts at each corner of the head. On the top side of the head you see hex headed nuts through which the posts run. Similar nuts are on the bottom of the head, where the threaded posts exit. It is those "nuts" that are adjusted to raise or lower the head relative to the threaded post.
