rect tension and alignment.
NOTE: Tension adjustments should be made only after the track is
warmed up and limber.
1. Turn the engine off.

3. Place the recommended weight or downward pressure on the track
at the specified distance (see chart) ahead of the center of the rear
idler wheel.
NOTE: Measure at the point where the weight is hanging.
