The track adjustment procedure should be performed under the same conditions in which the machine is used. Packing must not be removed from the track, if packing conditions exist on the job.

1. Move the harvester forward a distance of twice its length. Allow the harvester to come to a complete stop when one of the track pins (A) is centered on the carrier roller (B).
2. Proper track tension is achieved when the distance between the track chain and track frame (C) is approximately 31.75 — 38.1 mm (1.25 — 1.5 in.).
3. When the track chain is too tight, loosen grease fitting (D) until grease escapes (compressing the track adjuster).
4. When the track chain is too loose, add grease to grease fitting (D) until the proper measurement is reached.
