MAINTENANCE

WARNING

When performing the following checks and adjustments, stay clear of all moving

parts to avoid serious personal injury.

Track Alignment

A periodic check should be made to see that the track is centered and running

evenly on the slide rails. Misalignment will cause excessive wear to the track and

slide rail. NOTE: If excessive hi-fax wear occurs due to poor snow conditions,

additional wheel kits are available. Consult your dealer.

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.

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, be sure to tighten

locknuts and idler shaft

bolts. Torque to 35-40 ft. lbs.

(4.8-5.5 kg/m).

5. Repeat step 2 to verify

proper alignment.

Looking through

track window,

make sure the

rails are evenly

spaced on each

side.
