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.

just it according to driver’s requirements, field
and/or snow conditions.
For normal use, locate bolt through 2
nd

NOTE: When towing a load, it is suggested to ad-
just stopper strap to a shorter length and stiffen
rear springs. These adjustment will improve
steering ability.
Deep Snow Operation
When operating the vehicle in deep snow, it may
be necessary to change position of adjustment
cams, stopper strap and/or driver’s riding position,

the snow. Operator’s familiarly with the various
adjustments as well as snow conditions will dic-
tate the most efficient combination.

ing synthetic grease (P/N 413 7115 00).
