NOTE: Allow the track to coast to
a stop. DO NOT apply the brake
because it could produce an inaccu-
rate alignment condition.
3. When the track stops rotating, check
the relationship of the idler wheels
and the edge of the track. If the dis-
tance from the rear idler wheels to
the edge of the track is the same on
both sides, no adjustment is neces-
sary.
4. If the distances from the idler wheels
to the edge of the track are not the
same on both sides, an adjustment is
necessary.
Adjusting
1. On the side of the track which has
the edge of the track furthest to the
outside of the rear idler wheel,
loosen the idler wheel bolt; then
rotate the adjusting bolt clockwise 1
to 1 1/2 turns.
2. Check track alignment and continue
adjustment until proper alignment is
obtained.
NOTE: Make sure correct track
tension is maintained after adjusting
track alignment (see Track Tension
section).

3. After proper track alignment is
obtained, tighten the idler wheel bolt
securely.
Always make sure the adjusting
bolts are snug against the axle and
the idler wheel bolts are tightened to
specifications. Failure to do so could
cause the track to become extremely
loose and, under some operating
conditions, allow the idler wheels to
climb over the track lugs forcing the
track against the tunnel causing the
track to "lock." If a track "locks"
during operation, severe personal
injury could result.
4. Field test the track under actual con-
ditions.
5. After the field test, check the align-
ment of the track. If additional adjust-
ment is necessary, repeat Adjusting
Track Alignment procedure.
Adjusting Shock
Springs
The shock springs are individually
adjustable for the driving style of the
operator.
NOTE: Equal adjustments should
be maintained on both ski shock
springs.
The front shock absorbers have a preload
0753-329
adjustment sleeve with five preload
adjustment positions to increase or
decrease coil spring tension.
To adjust the spring tension, rotate the
preload adjustment sleeve with a suitable
spanner wrench until the desired spring
tension is achieved.
