Track Adjustment procedure for NT model Trackchairs
Track can be adjusted by loosening both bolts on the front idler wheels, inside and outside. Track
tensioners can be tightened with a 9/16 wrench by holding the lock nut and turning track tensioner bolts
clockwise an even amount. Adjustment is only needed if the track tension does not meet the below
spec. IT IS NOT NECESSARY TO OVER TIGHTEN THE TRACKS. Re-tighten front idler wheels, inside and
outside to 130 in./lbs
.
Elevate Trackchair with suitable lift or blocks, here you
see the K&L model MC455 fat jack. (Purchase on-line)
Locate track lug over frame as shown
Press down on track with 10 to 15 lbs. of force and observe location
of track lug. When properly tensioned the lug at the blue arrow
should just contact the frame with 10 to 15 lbs. of force. Rotate
track to check measurement at 3 different locations around the
track to confirm measurement
Use suitable spring tension gauge purchased
from your distributor/dealer #80500
