If your machine is equipped with a torque stop, periodically check torque stop

clearance. Before this procedure it will be necessary to ensure the clutches are

properly aligned. The torque stop clearance should be a minimum of .010″ to a

maximum of .030″ from the engine case. Adjust if necessary and lock jam nut.

Reverse Kit Maintenance

If your machine is equipped with reverse or if you have a reverse kit installed, it is

especially important to maintain track tension as specified on page 89.

If specified track tension is not maintained severe damage to the machine may oc-

cur, which can result in loss of vehicle control. Loss of control can result in severe

personal injury or death.

be required. Follow these recommendations:
