WARNING
Moving parts can cut and crush body parts. When performing the checks
and adjustments recommended on the following pages, stay clear of all
moving parts. Never perform track measurement or adjustments with the
engine running.
Track Tension
Track adjustment is critical for proper handling. Always maintain
correct tension and alignment.
Tension adjustments should be made only after the track is warmed up
and limber.
1. Turn the machine off.
2. Lift the rear of the machine and safely support it off the ground.
3. Place the recommended weight or downward pressure on the track
at the specified distance (see T rack Tension Data below) ahead of
the center of the rear idler wheel.
NOTE: Measure at the point where the weight is hanging.
4. Check for specified slack between the wear surface of the track clip
and the plastic slider (C).
If the track needs adjustment:
5. Loosen rear idler shaft bolt (D).
6. Loosen locknuts (A).
7. Tighten or loosen the
track adjusting screws ( B)
as necessary to provide
equal adjustment on both
sides of the track.
