ACCESSORY INFORMATION
Figure 11-7. Measuring the tire.
Figure 11-8. Marking the tire.
Two tires that measure the same circumference when at
3 psi, should always be the same circumference when at
equal pressure. Check the tire pressure every 10 hours
and adjust so that front and rear tires have equal pres-
sure.
4. If tire sizing is strictly adhered to, all drive chains should
be left connected to the drive train for optimum
performance. If you are experiencing frequent drive
chain wind-up, remove tracks and re-check tires to
ensure that front and rear tire circumference is equal
with equal tire pressure.
5. Remove the air from the front and rear tires.

BEFORE INSTALLING THE RUBBER TRACK SYS-
TEM, IT IS CRITICAL THAT TIRE SIZING IS PER-
FORMED. PLEASE REVIEW AND ENSURE YOU HAVE
FOLLOWED THE PREVIOUS INSTRUCTION BEORE
PROCEEDING WITH THE FOLLOWING:
6. Lay the two assembled tracks on the floor.
7. Drive the vehicle forward on to the tracks leaving ap-
proximately 8" extending past the front tires.
8. Pull the remaining track around the rear tire and forward
to the front of the vehicle.
9. Deflate the front and rear (or all tires) for easier installa-
tion of the final track pin.
10. Join the two ends of the track and secure them in place
with C-Clamps as shown in Figure 11-9, so that the holes
of the hinge lacing line up.
Figure 11-9. Securing with C-clamps.
11. Insert the 825-56 Track Pin through one of the 108-23
washers and then through the hinge lacing. Be sure to
install the pin from the outside edge of the track so the
end with the cotter pin hole ends up nearest the vehicle
lower body.
12. Secure the Track Pin in the hinge with a 108-23 washer
and 100-100 cotter pin at end closest to the vehicle body.
13. Re-inflate the tires. Don’t forget to reinstall the valve
stems to all tires. Inflate the middle two tires to 5 psi.
Inflate front and rear tires only enough to tension the
track. Correct track tension is achieved when the gap
between the mid tires and the track is 1.5 to 2.5 inches.
Figure 11-10 & Figure 11-11. Front and rear tire pressure
may need to be as low as 2.5 psi to achieve this. If the
track is so tight that the gap is less that 1.5 inches, then
the 825-57 Track Extension may be required. This kit will
