TRACK TENSION ADJUSTMENT
(921023)
(Figure 42 and 43)
Check the track tension by applying pressure
on the track midway between the upper and
rear track rollers. Deflection should be
approximately 3/8" (9.6 mm) (Figure 42).
If deflection is excessive, tighten the track
tension.
If unit pulls to the left or right when a straight
path is desired adjust the track tension. If the
unit is pulling to the left, tighten the left track
adjuster. If the unit is pulling to the right,
tighten the right track adjuster.
To adjust (Figure 43):
1. Tighten the adjuster nut to tighten the
track tension.
Loosen the adjuster nut to reduce track
tension.
2. Check that unit tracks straight with no
pulling to either side.
