INSTALLATION OF TRACKS
1. Set tyre pressure at 25psi.
2. Position the wheels with the valves in the same orientation to assist with aligning the wheels to
the studs, ensuring the wheels and tracks are laying flat on the floor.
3. Attach the left and right end segments of the tool to the wheels as illustrated.
4. Slide the guide through both segments.
5. Install the scissor jack, with handle end pointing through the top of the track.
6. Tension the jack to extend the track assembly and stand the track upright.
7. Use two people to lift the tracks onto hub spigot; you may have to adjust the jack to suit.
8. Use an adjustable wrench to rotate the rear hub so the studs will line up with the wheel while
depressing forward/ reverse control lever. Do not start the engine.
9. Locate the rear wheel on the hub and studs and install one wheel nut to hold the wheel to
the hub.
10. Rotate the front hub with an adjustable wrench to line up the studs to the wheel while
depressing forward/ reverse control lever. Do not start engine. To do this, the jack may have to
be extended or retracted. If the tracks cannot be extended far enough using the scissor jack,
reduce the tyre pressure and extend the scissor jack further.
11. Install all wheel nuts and tighten to 135Nm (100 ft-lb).
12. Adjust tyre pressure to between 55psi and 75psi. Refer to the Tyre Pressure Section for further
tyre pressure information.
