Track Alignment

Periodically check that the track

is centered and running evenly

on the slide rails. Misalignment

will cause excessive wear to the

track and slide rail.
1. Safely support the rear of the

machine with the track off

the ground.

2. Start the engine and apply a

small amount of throttle

until the track turns slowly at

least five complete

revolutions. Stop the engine

and let the track come to a

stop (do not apply brakes).

3. Inspect track alignment by looking through the track window to

make sure the rails (+) are evenly spaced on each side. If the track

runs to the left, loosen left locknut and tighten the left adjusting

bolt. If the track runs to the right, loosen right locknut and tighten

the right adjusting bolt.

4. After adjustments are complete, tighten locknuts and torque idler

shaft bolts to 35 ft. lbs. (47.5 Nm).

5. Repeat steps 2 and 3 to verify proper alignment.
