Adjusting Rear Track; Installing Snow Deflector Panels - Arctic Cat 2258-642R Operation, Installation, Maintenance And Parts Manual

Adjusting Rear Track

NOTE: Adjustments can be made by the ATV
owner if qualified to do so. If the owner does not
feel qualified, take the ATV to an authorized Arctic
Cat ATV dealer for this service.
NOTE: This procedure is appropriate for both
rear tracks.
1. Place the ATV on a flat surface.
2. Tighten the 5/8-in. adjustment nuts on both sides
of the rubber bushings just to slightly press the
rubber bushings against the A-arm bracket.
3. Tighten the 5/8-in. nuts until they "jam" firmly on
the ends of the spacer. Make sure the small wheels
are flat on the ground (horizontal).
NOTE: The nuts must be tightened equally so all
of the small wheels stay in contact with the ground
(horizontal) when the ATV is on a flat surface.
4. To adjust track tension (deflection), loosen the jam
nut on the adjustment pivot.

of 19 mm (3/4 in.) at 9 kg (20 lb) force is attained.
Do not over-tighten the track or performance loss
and/or component damage may occur.
6. Tighten the jam nut securely.
