    2001 Max IV chain ajustments

    After watching Mike's video on chain tension for a Max II,I notice mine is different . Is there any help for detailed Max IV chain adjustment?
    After jacking all six up,I adjusted idlers down to tighten slack. Top chain is tight bottom is slacked quite a bit .Not sure if I am to tight or to loose.

    Keep turning the tires to even up the tension. Always rotate the wheels after chain adjustment to make sure there are no really tight spots in the chain. I usually rotate and check tension as the chain rolls by.

    We usually lift one side at a time and turn two tires into each other so the bottom is tight . then we drop it and push the adjuster down and tighten it. Lots quicker than rotating tires (although liflod might have been saying the same thing). Noticed you joined this month, so you might not speak 6 WHEELERESE YET.
