See Figure 41.
If deflection is excessive, tighten the track tension.
If unit pulls to the left or right when a straight path is
desired adjust the track tension. If the unit is pulling to
the left, tighten the left track adjuster. If the unit is
pulling to the right, tighten the right track adjuster.
