Track Tension and Alignment
Track tension and alignment are inter-related. Do
not adjust one without checking the other. Track
tension procedure must be carried out prior to
track alignment.
Tension
Lift the rear of vehicle and support with a mechan-
ical stand. Allow the slide to extend normally.
Check the gap half-way between front and rear
idler wheels. Measure between slider shoe and
bottom inside of track.
When using the track tension gauge (P/N 529
0215 00), slide U shape extrusion to proper de-
flection.

2. Extrusion
Insert pre-setted gauge between slider shoe and
track. Allow gauge to settle by forcing track up
and down. Track tension is as specified when
edge of gauge reaches lign.
