Track Tension

Track adjustment is critical for proper handling. Always maintain cor-

rect tension and alignment.

NOTE: Tension adjustments should be made only after the track is

warmed up and limber.

1. Turn the engine off.
2. Lift the rear of the machine and safely support it off the ground.
3. Place the recommended weight or downward pressure on the track

at the specified distance (see chart) ahead of the center of the rear

idler wheel.

NOTE: Measure at the point where the weight is hanging.

WARNING

Moving parts can cut and crush body parts. When performing the checks and

adjustments recommended on the following pages, stay clear of all moving

parts. Never perform track measurement or adjustments with the engine run-

ning.
