Allow the suspension to extend normally and
check gap half-way between front and rear idler
wheels. Measure between slider shoe bottom
and inside of track. The gap should be as given in
SPECIFICATIONS at the end of this guide. If the
track tension is too loose, track will have a tenden-
cy to thump.
NOTE: A belt tension tester (P/N 414 348 200)
may be used to measure deflection as well as
force applied.
