TRACK
ALIGNMENT
AND
TENSION
(Both
Tracks)
Proper track tension must
be
maintained
to
attain maximum
performance
from
your
TX
Starfire machine.
If
the track
is
too
loose,
it
will
have
a tendency
to
chatter
as
the cleats
or
studs
scrape the inside
top
of
the tunnel.
If
it
is
too
tight,
a great
amount
of
pressure
will
be
applied
to
the slide rail wear bars,
resulting in
friction
drag and
loss
of
performance.
Improper alignment
will
cause
the track
to
run against one
side
of
the slide rail
or
the
other
causing dragging action and
also resulting in poor performance.
The proper tension
is
accomplished
by
the
following:
1.
Lift
rear
of
machine and support
it
off
the ground.
2.
Allow
the slide rail
to
apply pressure on track.
3.
Track should have
3/16"
to
1
/4"
of
gap
between
track and
lowest
point
of
slide rail at
midpoint
of
the track.
4.
Adjust
to
proper tension
by
either loosening
or
tight-
ening the adjuster
bolts.
NOTE:
Track tension and alignment are inter-related. Do
not
adjust one
without
adjusting the other.
