5.4 Saw Head Slide Pad Adjustment
There are eight nylon pads positioned between the saw head frame and vertical mast.
The spacing of the pads is factory set and rarely needs adjusting. To check the pad
spacing, perform the following steps.
NOTE: The pads on the engine side of the mast are referred to as the "inner" pads.
The pads on the control side of the mast are referred to as the "outer" pads.
NOTE: Shims are often used around the clamping bolts, between the C-frame support
bracket and the mast v-brace. The shims align the v-brace to the mast so that the entire
face of each slide pad makes contact with the mast. Be sure to keep these shims in place
when performing the following adjustment.
See Figure 5-4.
