Page 10: Dangerous Situations
DANGEROUS SITUATIONS DANGEROUS SITUATIONS When using a vehicle equipped with track systems, it is important to respect the following safety recommendations. It is strongly recommended that the safety guidelines provided below are followed to prevent any accidents and serious malfunctions that could affect the occupants, the vehicle or the track systems from occurring. - Page 11 DANGEROUS SITUATIONS Steep descents WARNING It is not advisable to change direction during steep descents. This can lead to a serious malfunction of the UTV’s steering system and track systems. During a steep descent, it is advisable to keep the handlebar in a forward direction and to begin turning when the UTV is on flat ground, thus to avoid subjecting the components of the vehicle and the system to any high stress.
- Page 12 DANGEROUS SITUATIONS Descending and being stuck in reverse WARNING If the rear track systems get stuck in the snow, avoid moving or towing the vehicle in reverse to ease it from its position , as this could lead to a malfunction of the systems.
- Page 13 DANGEROUS SITUATIONS Towing a vehicle out of the snow WARNING If your vehicle must be towed out of the snow, never tow it in the direction in which it sank. Tow the vehicle in the direction of the trail it left as it became stuck.
- Page 14 DANGEROUS SITUATIONS Driving over an obstacle Driving over a steep ridge WARNING It is not advisable to attempt to drive over an obstacle, such a tree trunk, a big rock or a steep ridge that could lodge itself between the front and the rear track systems and immobilize the vehicle.
- Page 15 DANGEROUS SITUATIONS Exceeding the anti-rotation stroke on rough terrain WARNING Never exceed anti-rotation stroke of the front and rear track systems, system or vehicle faillure may occur. It is recommended to drive on a surface on which the track system is always fully supported.
- Page 16 DANGEROUS SITUATIONS Sharp turns in locked 4x4 mode WARNING Never do sharp turns in locked diffential 4x4 mode on a sticky terrain without lubrification. The track system is designed to slip into the drive system, keeping the vehicle from being overloaded. NOTE: Somes vehicles don’t have unlocked 4x4 mode on the rear differential, for those vehicles avoid the current situation, take wider turns instead.

INSTALLATION, REMOVAL AND RE-INSTALLATION INSTALLATION, REMOVAL AND RE-INSTALLATION WARNING Never place body parts under the vehicle unless it is securely placed on appropriate stands. Severe injuries could occur if the vehicle collapses or moves. Do not use a lifting device as a secure stand. Always follow good shop practices. - Page 18 INSTALLATION, REMOVAL AND RE-INSTALLATION WARNING To avoid any injury to your hands during the manipulation of the systems, we recommend you to manipulate the systems at places indicated in following figure (near to hub and near to the anchoring of the anti-pivot). Installation Execute all tasks described in Installation Guidelines of the vehicle model.

Page 21: Adjustments
ADJUSTMENTS ADJUSTMENTS Angle of attack for front tracks systems NOTE: Before adjusting your kit, make sure the vehicle is on a hard and flat surface like concrete. No lifting device should be installed. To obtain the correct angle of attack on front tracks systems, perform the following : •... - Page 22 ADJUSTMENTS Figure 4 • Set the nut (2) shown on Figure 5 until the flat bar reaches 315 ± 5 mm above the ground. For right hand side, rotating the wrench towards A makes the system rotate towards C while rotating the wrench towards B makes the system rotate towards D (reverse for left hand side).
- Page 23 ADJUSTMENTS • Turn the nut (1) until it comes in contact with the spring, then compress the spring by turning this nut 1.5 turns (refer to Figure 6). Figure 6 NOTE: In certain rare cases, where the adjustment of the nut (article 1 on Figure 6) compressing the spring, is close to the end of the threaded rod, lengthen the assembly by loosening the locknut (article 3 on Fig-...
- Page 24 ADJUSTMENTS Figure 7 Basic Tuning (front track systems): • An adjustment of more than 315 mm measured with the flat bar, gives easier steering with wobbling effect at high speed. • An adjustment of less than 315 mm measured with the flat bar, gives harder steering and more stability at high speed.
- Page 25 ADJUSTMENTS Angle of attack for rear track systems To obtain the correct angle of attack on rear tracks systems, perform the following : Vehicles with rigid axle or trailing arm suspension • Loosen the nut (1) compressing the spring of the stabilizing rod (see Figure 8).
- Page 26 ADJUSTMENTS Vehicles with independent suspension • Loosen the nut (1) compressing the spring of the stabilizing rod (refer to Figure 9). • Turn the nut (2) until it comes in contact with both rubber damper and bracket (3). Then, compress the rubber damper by turning the nut (2) one turn.
- Page 27 ADJUSTMENTS NOTE: In some rare cases where the adjustment of the nut (1) compressing the spring is near the end of the threaded rod, extend the rod by unlocking the jam nut (item 3 on Figure 10) and unscrew the rod to obtain 19 mm max.
- Page 28 ADJUSTMENTS Alignment It is required to align the tracks when the vehicle is placed on the ground. Before the measurements, move the vehicle for- wards on a distance of approximately 3 meters. Use a tape for the following measurements. Measure A: Measure the distance which separates the external plastic wheels of the front axle on the front track systems.
- Page 29 ADJUSTMENTS Measure B: Measure the distance which separates the exter- nal plastic wheels of the rear axle on the front track systems. See Figures 13 and 14. Figure 13 ( Distance between the rear plastic wheels) Figure 14 ( Distance between the rear plastic wheels) The distance between the outside wheels of the front axle (Measure A) and the rear axle (Measure B) should be equal.
- Page 30 ADJUSTMENTS Figure 15 (Steering Mechanism) NOTE: Everytime you verify the measurements, move the vehicle back and forth on a distance of approximately 3 meters. Method of ajustment To adjust the UTV, first unscrew the nut (1) of the coupling rod of the vehicle's direction system (2), screw or unscrew the cou- pling rod of an equal number of revolutions on the both sides of the vehicle.
- Page 31 ADJUSTMENTS Rubber track tension Adjust the tension the rubber track by turning the adjusting nuts of the track tensioner. Adjust track tension. Figure 16 NOTE: The two nuts are screwed on against the other to clamp the tension adjustment. Free the two nuts on against the other and then loosen the track adjustment.

Page 40: Wear
WEAR WEAR Wheel Verify the wear of the wheels especially on the interior guidance strip (figure 22). The wheel must be replaced if the inner sur- face (article 1, figure 22) is perforated or when the thickness of the wheel rolling band reaches a thickness of 45 mm. A wheel that is excessively worn will not offer enough support for the track's guidance. - Page 41 WEAR Figure 23 Track Verify the wear of the track by inspecting the rolling path, the driving lug, the profile and the internal and external condition of the track's carcass. Make sure that the track’s internal structure are not visible at cuts or worn area. Too much wear could cause damage to the wheels and to the track's guide.
