ADJUSTMENT AND ALIGNMENT
1.
Loosen bolt (6). Tighten or loosen adjustment bolt (7) until distance of 37.00 1/8 inches (93.98 ±0.32 cm) can be
obtained between front of rear outer wheel (8) and front of front outer wheel (9). Tighten bolt (6).
CAUTION
Ensure that track-belt alignment and adjustment screws, located on each side of
the frame group, are tight prior to operation. Failure to tighten these screws will
allow the front and rear frame assemblies to move freely and damage the track
belt.
2.
Connect towing vehicle to trailer (refer to TM 9-2330-205-14&P).
NOTE
Trailer must be stopped in a straight line without making any steering corrections
or else belt alignment procedure will be affected.

Tow trailer (4) forward in a straight line on hard level surface for at least 100 feet (30.5 meters), then carefully stop
in a straight line. While towing, observe position of track belt guide blocks (5) as track belt (2) revolves around the
front and rear, inner and outer tire assemblies (3, 9, and 8).
