Turn the red On / Off switch on the right-hand guide handle to the “ON” position.
ATTENTION! For version with Briggs & Stratton 900, also move the red ignition
switch on the engine to the “I” position.

13. Steering and Braking Adjustment
If the Track Dumper does not steer left and right correctly, readjust the steering
Bowden cables on the left and right steering levers.
1. Loosen the lock nuts of the Bowden cable adjusting screws on the steering
levers.
2. Unscrew the Bowden cable adjusting screw to loosen them further.
3. Perform a test drive and check steering characteristics by alternately pressing
the left and right steering levers.
4. The steering brakes are correctly adjusted when approximately 2/3 of lever
travel steers the Track Dumper in the desired direction.
5. If the setting is too tight it will block the steering brake.
6. When both steering brakes are evenly adjusted, tighten the lock nuts on the
Bowden cables to prevent slip.
14. Track Tensioning
The crawler tracks can stretch and/or require tightening after some time.
How to Check the Track Tension
1. Park the Track Dumper on a flat, level surface.
2. Lift the top of the track in the middle by hand.
3. If the track can lift by more than 5-6cm relative to the horizontal, the tracks
should be tightened.
Retightening the Tracks
1. Start the engine and tilt the skip far enough forward that the clamping bolts are
easily accessible.
2. Stop the engine and remove the spark plug cap to prevent accidental engine
starting.
3. Position the gear lever in the “NEUTRAL” position.
4. Chock the Track Dumper to prevent unintended rolling back or forth.
5. Secure the skip against unintentional lowering (e.g. with a prop).
6. Loosen the locknuts on the tensioning bolts and wind the tensioning bolts
clockwise to increase the track tension.
7. While tightening, check frequently the track tension by lifting the top of the track
in the middle (as described above) and check the lift.
8. Tighten both tracks equally, and then secure the locknuts.
9. The correct tension is achieved when both tracks have about 3-4 cm lift in the
middle, relative to the horizontal.
