Stopper Strap
The function of the stopper strap is to control the
transfer of vehicle weight during acceleration and
to control track lead angle.
The longer the belt, the more the weight will be
transferred to the track to provide a better trac-
tion. The shorter the belt, the lesser the weight
transferred to the track, thus maintaining a more
positive steering.
The longer the belt, the greater will be the track
lead angle. A shorter belt will reduce track lead
angle which may help when negotiating a particu-
lar snow condition.
Adjusting holes on the stopper strap allow to ad-
just it according to driver’s requirements, field
and/or snow conditions.

track tension must be readjusted to prevent
any possibility of operating vehicle with a
too loose or too tight track tension.
