Track Maintenance
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 chart 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 Hi-fax (C).
