grease fitting adaptor about three turns to allow
grease to flow out of the cylinder.
WARNING: Never unscrew the grease fitting
adaptor completely to speed up the flow of
grease. The grease in the cylinder is under
high pressure.
2. As soon as the right track sag is obtained, tighten
the adaptor. See Track Tension Value.
