FIGURE 8 – TRACK PLACEMENT
8. Adjust shoes to center the track around the
pipe by turning both adjustment screws on
each shoe evenly. Start by adjusting only
the top most and bottom most shoes to
center the track. Once those shoes are
firmly onto the work surface move on to op-
posing track shoes. Be sure to only tighten
opposing shoes in order to keep the track
centered. Repeat until all shoes are se-
cured firmly to the work surface.
Figure 8 shows the order to tighten the track shoes.
Start with the top and bottom shoes labeled "1".
Next move on to the opposing shoes labeled "2".
Lastly tighten the remaining shoes labeled "3".
The shoes only need to be adjusted
tight enough so that the track ring is
not loose. Over-tightening the ad-
justment screws will cause the shoes
to lose their ability to accommodate
pipe expansion.
