chassis. Please use a level gauge to level the unit exactly horizontal. Make sure at least one of the spikes is fully tightened.

The feet are guided not only by a fine pitch thread but by a cylindrical fitting as well. Therefore, no locking of the spike is needed.

The maximum range of adjustment is 4mm.
