SPLITTING WEDGE
As normal wear occurs, periodically adjust the bolts on
the slide plate (beneath the splitting wedge) as follows
to eliminate the excess space between the wedge plate
and the beam. See figure 16.
1. Loosen the three hex bolts on top of the slide plate
(beneath the splitting wedge).
2.
Back the two adjustment bolts on the side of the
slide plate out slowly until the wedge assembly will
slide on the beam. Tighten the lock nuts securely
against the base of the slide plate to hold the bolts
in this position.

Retighten the three hex bolts on top of the slide

the bottom of the reservoir tank, and drain the fluid in
to a suitable container. Refill using only Dexron II
