— If the wheels are properly aligned, the
straightedge will touch both inside gauge
blocks and there will be a 0.020"–0.040"
gap between the straightedge and the
outside gauge blocks, as shown in
Figure
46. If this is the case, skip to Step 9.
— If the wheels are not positioned as shown
above, determine which direction they
need to move in order to be correct, then
proceed to Step 7 to begin the adjustment
process.

Movement Direction—The bolt position
around the wheel shaft determines the part
of the wheel that will move when that bolt is
turned.
Moving Forward—To move part of the
wheel forward, loosen the appropriate lock
bolts the same amount that you will tight
-
en their neighboring adjustment bolts. (By
“appropriate” we mean the bolts that control
the direction that your wheel needs to be
moved.) In the case of the main drive wheel
adjustments, always loosen the jam nuts
before moving the adjustment bolts, and
always tighten the jam nuts after moving the
adjustment bolts.
Moving Backward—To move part of the
wheel backward, loosen the appropriate
adjustment bolt, then tighten the neighboring
lock bolt.
