ADJUSTMENTS

NOTE: To make the following adjustments, position the

vehicle on a flat and level surface.

ANGLE OF ATTACK - FRONT SYSTEMS

To obtain the correct angle of attack on front Track

Systems, perform the following:
• Use handlebars to point tracks straight ahead.
• Temporarily apply pressure to the front of the track

to make stay flat on the ground.

• Stabilizing arm (

1

) must be attached to front anchor

bracket (

2

) mounted on vehicle. Figure 3.

Figure 3

• A Bubble Level (

1

) is attached to the inside of the

front  frames.  A  perfectly  centered  bubble  is

needed to adjust the angle of attack correctly. See

Figure 4.

.

Figure 4

NOTE: Before each measurement, temporarily apply

light pressure to the front of the track to make

sure that it stays flat on the ground.

•  Loosen jam nut (

1

). Adjust length of rod end (

2

)

by rotating the steering limiter support plate on

(

3

) the stabilizing arm. Use a 30 mm wrench to

rotate  support  plate  to  obtain  a  perfectly

centered bubble in the level. Refer to Figure 5.

NOTE: Stabilizing arms on front Track Systems

incorporate a steering limiter support plate (

3

)

that is bent. This plate should be positioned

inwards, towards the vehicle.

Figure 5

• When  angle  of  attack  is  correctly  set,  tighten

the jam nut (

1

) back against the stabilizing arm

to 40 N•m [30lb•ft] of torque. See Figure 6.

CAUTION:  Follow  the  recommended  torque  when

tightening  the  jam  nut.  Over-tightening  the  nut

might damage the rod end.

Figure 6

• Once the centered bubble in the level indicates

that the angle of attack is correct, double-check

the setting by validating the distance from  the

top of the back tires to the ground. Figure 7.
