7.14 Track Tension Adjust
1. With the engine off and the key
removed from the ignition, locate
jam nut on track tension device
and clean the threads thoroughly
before proceeding. (fig. 7.14-1).
2. Using a wrench, loosen the jam
nut on the track tension device.
3. Once the jam nut is loose, turn
the tensioner until the track
tension is within specification
(figure 7.14-2).
4. Turn the tensioner the opposite
direction to loosen the track.
5. Once proper tension is achieved, retighten the jam nut on the tensioner.
Note: If the track tensioner is stiff, it may be helpful to apply a penetrating lubri-
cant onto the threads prior to adjusting tension.
