Check wheel alignment and adjust tracking
knob to bring both wheels into alignment as
much as possible. If wheels cannot be adjust-
ed coplanar, use Figure 118 to determine
how to proceed with alignment adjustments.
Wheels parallel and
aligned: No adjustment
needed.
Wheels parallel, but right or left wheel is
not coplanar with the other wheel: Move
the left wheel in or out.
Left wheel is not laterally aligned
with right wheel: Use blade tracking
knob to tilt left wheel.
Right wheel is not vertically
aligned with left wheel: Adjust rear
adjustment set bolts to tilt right

solutions to misalignment problems.
Shimming a Wheel
When the wheels are parallel but not coplanar,
one of the wheels must be shimmed out to bring it
into the same plane as the other wheel.
Tip: Standard washers work well for shimming a
wheel because they can easily be stacked to get
the desired depth.

DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!
2.
Adjust left wheel tracking so that it is parallel
with right wheel.
3.
With straightedge touching both rims of wheel
that does not need to be shimmed, measure
distance away from other wheel with fine ruler
(see Figure 119). Distance measured with
ruler is distance wheel must be shimmed.
Figure 119. Example of measuring distance to
shim wheel to make it coplanar with other wheel.
