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

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 rail slide.
