Alignment
WARNING
Before checking track alignment, ensure that
the track is free of all particles which could
be thrown out while track is rotating. Keep
hands, tools, feet and clothing clear of track.
Ensure no one is standing in close proximity
to the vehicle. Never rotate at high speed.
Start the engine and accelerate slightly so that
track barely turns. This must be done in a short
period of time (1 to 2 minutes).
Check that the track is well centered; equal
distance on both sides between edges of track
guides and slider shoes.
