checks and adjustments recommended on the following pages,

stay clear of all moving parts. Never perform track measurement

or adjustments with the engine running.

Track Tension

correct tension and alignment.
Tension adjustments should be made only after the track is warmed up

and limber.

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 on page 99) ahead of the center

of the rear idler wheel.

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

4. Check for specified slack between the wear surface of the track clip

and the plastic rail slide.
