Track Installation

1. Slide the track over the drive sprocket at the rear
of the machine (fig. 4-23, 4-24).
2. Slide the front of the track into position for
installation (fig. 4-25).
3. Lubricate the inner front wheel and the inside of
the front portion of the track with a spray lubricant
(fig. 4-26).
4. Attach a ratchet strap to the upper front portion of
the track and the other end to one of the tow
hooks on the front of the machine (fig. 4-27).
5. Tighten the strap until the track is pulled upward
slightly and in position to slide over the inner idler
wheel at the front (fig. 4-27).
6. Pull all of the slack forward and make sure the
track drive lugs are properly meshed with the
sprocket to provide as much slack as possible for
installation.
7. If you have an assistant, have them pull the track
forward while you push inward on the track. Work
the track over the wheel and into place.
8. If you do not have an assistant, push the track
forward and inward in a quick forceful motion to
slide the track into place. The ratchet strap will
help to keep the track in place while you work it
over the idler (fig. 4-28).
