ADJUSTING CARRIAGE ROLLERS - continued - TM-10-3930-647-14-P0367

If the thrust rollers are in good condition, place the out-

side caliper across the second set of carriage rollers.

Place the caliper on the side of the rollers near the back

of the carriage fork bar.

Remember that the carriage rollers are canted.

The caliper must be placed so that the maximum distance

across the set of rollers is measured.

Holding the caliper carefully, insert shims between the

roller side and caliper contact point until all clearance is

eliminated. Shims are 1/32nd inch thick, so in this case

three shims or 3/32nds of an inch clearance is indicated.

We need to increase the distance between rollers by

3/32nds of an inch. We'll do this by adding three shims

behind the rollers.
