Do you mean adjusting the chain case for chain tension or do you mean adjusting the entire chain case to align the shafts as in blueprinting the chassis?

According to my SRV Manuel, which looks to me to be the same
8-15 mm (0.32 - 0.59) freeplay Torque locking nut to3.5 m-kg (25 ft lbs)
Now personalby, because I change gears in some of my sleds at times which means the chains will have either much more, or much less slack, or at times a different length chain is needed. What I shoot for is that the chain is never to tight to bind on the gears or tennsionor, or to loose to ratchet. A 1/2 in of flex in the movement works fine for me
