New to me R4514.    Hard, impossible, to move the blade angle to zero with the adjusting wheel.    Hangs up at about 5 degrees.   

 

If I push on the “tilt plate” in the rear, that gets it “over the hump” and I can push it to Zero.   The wheel seems to move OK from there and gives normal resistance moving off of Zero.

 

What can the problem be?
