RUBBER TRACK TENSION
CAUTION: Track Tensioner assembly bolt (A) and
jam nut (B) must be loosened before adjusting
track tension. Figure 23.
Figure 23
To adjust track tension, turn tension adjustment
nut (
C
) clockwise or counterclockwise to obtain
the recommended track tension. See Figure 24.

CAUTION: Make sure to re-tighten Track Tensioner
assembly bolt (A) and jam nut (B) after completing
track tension adjustment.
The table below shows the force applied and the
deflection which must occur when track tension is
correctly set. Refer also to Figure 25.
BASIC TUNING
• A higher rubber track tension reduces drive
“ratcheting”.
NOTE: Track tension set too high could cause
premature wear on system components.
• A lower rubber track tension provides better
traction, a smoother ride and better fuel
economy.

NOTE: The track tension testing tool shown below in
Figure 26 can be purchased through an
authorized Camso dealer. The part number is
