Section 06 DRIVE SYSTEM
Subsection 08 (TRACK)
Allow the rear suspension to fully extend and
check gap halfway between front and rear idler
wheels. Measure between slider shoe bottom
and inside of track. The gap should be as given
in SPECIFICATIONS. If the track tension is too
loose, track will have a tendency to thump.
NOTE: The belt tension tester (P/N 414 348 200)
may be used to measure deflection as well as
force applied.

Alignment
WARNING
Before checking track alignment, ensure that
the track is free of all particles which could
be thrown out while track is rotating. Keep
hands, tools, feet and clothing clear of track.
Ensure no one is standing in close proximity
to the vehicle. Never rotate at high speed.
Start the engine and accelerate slightly so that
track barely turns. This must be done in a short
period of time (1 to 2 minutes).
Check that the track is well centered; equal
distance on both sides between edges of track
guides and slider shoes.
