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

• Position a flat bar on top of rear wheels of front

track system and measure from the ground up

to flat bar as shown on 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 and obtain 

254 mm

 above

the ground. Refer to Figure 5.

NOTE: The 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.
