ADJUSTMENTS
The table below shows the force (
1
) applied and
the deflection (
2
) which must occur to correctly
set track tension. Refer also to Figure 32.
BASIC TUNING
• Higher rubber track tension reduces the risk of
“derailing” and reduces drive “ratcheting”.
NOTE: Track tension set too high could cause
premature wear on system components and
is therefore not recommended.
• Lower rubber track tension provides better
traction, a smoother ride and better fuel
economy.
NOTE: The track tension testing tool shown below in
Figure 31 can be purchased through an
authorized Camso dealer. Part #2000-00-
3125.
