Rubber Track Tension
Use the following procedure to make track tension adjustments.
CAUTION! DO NOT loosen the
tensioner assembly bolt when
adjusting track tension. This bolt is
used to assemble and align the
tensioner with the frame. If this bolt is
loosened, tensioner realignment
MUST be performed.
1. Loosen the tensioner rod jam
nut (1).
2. Turn the tensioner rod
adjustment nut (2) clockwise
or counter-clockwise as
needed to adjust tension to
the recommended
specification.
Tip: Higher rubber track tension
reduces the risk of derailing
and reduces drive “ratcheting”.
Lower rubber track tension
provides better performance,
better rolling and better fuel
economy.
3. When adjustment is complete, tighten the jam nut (1) securely
against the adjustment nut (2).
4. Operate the vehicle at a slow speed for approximately one mile (1.5
km). Evaluate track system performance and readjust as needed.
