TM 9-2350-261-10 ADJUST T130 TRACK TENSION — Continued 0076 00 NOTE Either drive pin punch or track and sprocket gauge may be used to check track tension. If using drive pin punch, do Steps 6 - 7. If using track and sprocket gauge, do Steps 8 - 9. 6. To check track tension using drive pin punch, insert drive pin punch between top of number two road wheel and bottom of track. If drive pin punch can be inserted freely and track touches top of number three road wheel, track tension is correct. 7. If drive pin punch can be inserted freely but track does not touch top of number three road wheel, track tension is too tight. Loosen track tension, see Step 11. If drive pin punch cannot be inserted freely, track tension is too loose. Tighten track tension, see Step 10. 8. To check track tension using track and sprocket gauge, position gauge lightly against bottom of track at centerline of second road wheel. Look through hole in gauge. If top of second road wheel can be seen (3/8 to 5/8 inch) and track touches number three road wheel, track tension is correct. 9. If top of second road wheel cannot be seen or track does not touch third road wheel, track needs adjusting. To tighten track tension, see Step 10. To loosen track tension, see Step 11. 0076 00-2
