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 a 10 lb. weight on
the track approximately
16" ahead of the rear axle
to slightly preload the
track.
4. Check for 7/8" - 1-1/8"
gap between the wear surface of the metal track clip and the plastic
hi-fax (C) . Measure at a point 16" ahead of the rear axle.
If the track needs adjustment:
5. Loosen the rear idler shaft bolts (D) and locknuts (A).
6. Tighten or loosen the track adjusting screws (B) as necessary to
provide equal adjustment on both sides of the track.
7. Tighten the locknuts (A). Then tighten the idler shaft bolts (D) to
35 ft. lbs. (47 Nm).
NOTE: Always inspect track alignment after track tension
adjustment. Track alignment affects track tension.
Misalignment will cause excessive wear to the track and slide
rail. Excessive Hi-Fax wear will appear on units with track
tension set too tight. Refer to the Master Repair Manual for
track alignment procedure.
