Check Track Tension
Check track tension at startup and every 10
hours and adjust as needed. Track is correctly
tensioned when measurement between track and
straight edges (2) is 1/2 in (13 mm).
To adjust:
1. Park machine on smooth flat surface.
2. Lay straight edge on top of track, spanning
from sprocket to front idler roller.
3. Clean track cylinder zerk (1). Pump MPG into
zerk until distance between track and straight
edge (2) is 1/2” (13 mm).
4. Test : Drive forward one track length and
check tension again.
• If tension is too loose, repeat step 3
above.
• If tension is too tight, loosen fitting on
grease cylinder and allow a small
amount of grease to discharge from
cylinder. Tighten fitting and test again.
Check Coolant Level
Check coolant level, with engine cool, at overflow
bottle at startup and every 10 hours. Maintain
coolant level at halfway point on bottle. If low, add
approved coolant.
IMPORTANT: See page 56 for information on
approved coolants.
