Step 6: The full weight of your machine should
now be fully supported, both tracks should be off
the ground, and your rear drive chains should be

handles back and forth to confirm. Adjust as
needed.

ratchet with 3/8" socket, loosen the (8) Bolts se-
curing the (2) Removable Access Covers. Re-
move both covers and place to the side. Don't
worry about the nuts, they are welded to the back-
