Track Tension - XTRA Lite / Xtra 10 / EDGE RMK

1. Turn the machine off.
2. Lift the rear of the machine and safely support it off the
ground.
3. Place a 10 lb. (4.5 kg) weight on the track at a point
approximately 16² (40.6 cm) ahead of the center of the
rear idler wheel.
4. Check for proper slack between the track clip wear surface
and the hi-fax (C). NOTE: Measure at the point where the
weight is hanging.

If the track needs adjustment:

5. Loosen rear idler shaft bolts (D) on both sides of the machine.
6. Loosen track adjusting bolt locknuts (A).
7. Tighten or loosen the track adjusting bolts (B) evenly as necessary to obtain proper track tension.
8. Tighten idler shaft bolts and adjuster bolt locknuts.
NOTE: Track alignment affects track tension. Misalignment will cause excessive wear to the track and slide rail.
Excessive Hi Fax wear will appear on units with track tension set too tight.
