Continuous Tracks

The snow thrower is equipped with an auto-tensioner on both
the left and right sides. The system is designed to maintain
constant tension on both tracks. However, if the snow thrower
fails to propel itself because the track wheel is "jumping" drive
lugs, the tracks are too loose and are in need of adjustment.
See an authorized Service Dealer to have the tracks properly
adjusted. See Figure 6-7.
