Easy! Just tilt the straight edge up. Easy to do with my system. If the backchecks wink, it's too high. Always start leveling with the keys below level. Then level with the largest punching and then progressively smaller until no clicking is heard when running your finger under the front edge of the keys and no winking at the backchecks. Your done!!! Just put both hands on the ends of the blocks holding the straight edge and tilt upwards. Just to make sure there is no excessive friction in the key bushings I tap lightly on top of each key to see if it returns to full level. Carl Meyer Assoc.
