TRACK SYSTEM BREAK-IN
Break-In Period
The break-in period for a new track system is four hours, or 50 miles (80
km). A proper break-in will result in more efficient performance and a
longer life for components. Follow these recommendations during the
break-in period:
• Perform the break-in inspections during the break-in period as
recommended. See the Break-In Inspection Chart below.
• Avoid operating in dry, clean, non-lubricated conditions (such as on
asphalt or on hay or straw fields).
• Operate the vehicle in a lubricated environment (water, mud, snow,
soft soil, sand, dust and similar terrain). Failure to operate in these
conditions during break-in can result in smoke and odor from rubber
components, as well as plastic deposits on the sprocket and/or frame.
• Operate below 6 MPH (10 km/h) when making sharp turns.
