to lose it.

Loosen plug (4) gradually and check that oil oozes out

REMARK
When installing guide plate (2), install the same number and thickness of shims as removed shims (3).
The optimum condition may be obtained, if the clearance of the idler is adjusted at the same time. For the ad-
justment method, see "METHOD FOR ADJUSTING IDLER CLEARANCE (4-24)".

METHOD FOR ADJUSTING IDLER CLEARANCE

Since the idlers are forced to move forward and backward by an external force, guide plates will be worn out.
Wear of guide plates will cause the vibration of idlers from side to side or inclination of the idlers, and running off
of track links from the idlers or unevenly worn idler and links may result.
Adjust as follows.
