Track Maintenance

I

f the track needs adjustment (continued):

8. Repeat the measurement on the other side of the track. NOTE:

Check more frequently when machine is new.

9. Start the machine and slowly rotate the track at least five

revolutions. Let the track come to a stop (do not apply brakes).

10. Check the track alignment and adjust as necessary.
11. Tighten the locknuts (A).
12. Tighten the idler shaft bolts (D) and torque to 35 ft. lbs. (47 Nm).

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 (A) are evenly spaced

on each side. If the track runs to

the left, loosen the left locknut and tighten the left adjusting bolt.

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

the right adjusting bolt.

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

idler shaft bolts to 35 ft. lbs. (47 Nm).

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