Shilen trigger adjustment?

I have a Time rifle that I bought used, and the gentleman told me it had a Shilen trigger. It's breaking at 6 oz and I would like to take it down to the 2 oz. Can someone tell me how I make that adjustment? I took the rifle off the stock and noticed two nuts on the front of the trigger group (one above the other) and a single nut on the rear of the trigger group. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
 
I'd bet if you called Shilen you'd be able to get an instruction sheet, I shot one for years, they're pretty good triggers.

I just had my Shilen trigger rebuilt and installed on my 40X by Shilen.. ALL Shilen triggers are guarenteed for life. You do not have to be the original owner..
Contact Mark Webster at Shilen, phone number is 972-875-5318. He is their trigger man. Explain your problem and he will have you send it back for checking, rebuilding if necessary and, if you send your barreled action, he will install it on your action and adjust it to the weight you want. All this way done to my 40X for nothing.. Shilen even sent the barrelled action back to me via UPS three day..

They are a great company that stands behind their product 100% and are great people to deal with..

Thanks Dave, I remember your original post about how good their customer service was, I was just hoping that I wouldn't have to use it. I have a match coming up in a couple of weeks and I still don't have this rifle tuned to where I want it, so sending it off for work is not really an option. I was hoping to just find out which screw adjusted what. I'll try calling Shilen this afternoon, hopefully they can help me over the phone. Thanks for the replies everyone.;)
 
Instructions

Just have Shilen fax or email you an instruction sheet. The Shilen is one of the easiest triggers to adjust. Just be careful you don't over do the sear adjustment. Better yet, that's the one adjust you need to leave as it was when it left the factory. The tools you will need, are a 1/4" openend wrench and a 1/32" allen wrench.
 
Cleaning

One other note on cleaning a Shilen trigger. Only use Lighter Fliud, and then blow it dry with compressed air. Be careful when using those canned air products for blow out computers, as you may get a ice in the trigger. The ice melts and then you have water. Not good. Always keep the can upright if thats all you have.
