Proper maintenance of the tracks will ensure a long and trouble free service life.
• Check the tracks daily for loose spikes or cleats.

tension on the machine. Failure to observe the
correct tension can result in loss of the tracks
during operation.
A Tension Kit, consisting of a grease pump
equipped with a pressure gauge, is included with
your machine and should be used to correctly
check and set the pressure. The maximum
pressure setting is 1850 psi.
