GENERAL MAINTENANCE
BREAK-IN PROCEDURES
Although all systems on the POSI-TRACK are
tested at the factory to ensure proper operation,
there are a few items that require a break-in
period. Certain components need readjustment
and others require special care within the first
100 hours of operation. PROPER BREAK-IN
PROCEDURES ARE CRITICAL TO THE
LONG TERM RELIABILITY OF THE POSI-
TRACK. Extra care during this period will
pay-off down the road.
TRACKS
Proper track tension plays an important part in
the over-all performance of the POSI-TRACK.
A track run too loose can cause premature
track failure and cause the track to derail. Al-
though track tension is set properly at the fac-
tory, the tracks will need an adjustment after
break-in. Once the Kevlar
TM
and other special
materials in the track are pulled straight, mini-
mal adjustment will be required. The break-in
period of a track can range from just a few
hours to over 10 hours, depending on the track
and how the vehicle is operated.
The tracks on the POSI-TRACK are easy to
tighten. It takes only a few minutes and will
be well worth the time (See page 35 for track
tensioning procedure.) After the initial track
break-in, the tracks may not need to be tight-
ened for several hundred hours, however,
the
tracks should be inspected daily and tight-
ened as necessary.
CAUTION
Failure to perform the proper break-in
procedures will cause premature compo-
nent failure.
