Tyres
Tyre pressure should be maintained at 12 psi. It is recommended that tyres, as a minimum, should be
inspected for damage and have the pressure checked as part of a pre-season check.
Fasteners
Check fasteners regularly to minimise likelihood of equipment damage or accident resulting from
fasteners loosening.

Mechanical Adjustments
Drive Chain Adjustment
The drive chain tension can be adjusted by releasing the chain
tensioner retaining bolt and sliding the tensioner down or up
in the groove to take up the slack in the chain. Tighten the
retaining bolt when the chain is adjusted.
Floor Chain Adjustment
To increase the floor chain tension, undo the M24 nyloc nuts
and do up the M24 plain nuts until the desired tension is
reached. Tighten up the M24 nyloc nuts to lock and secure the
chain tensioner assemblies
Drive Wheel Adjustment
To compensate for wear on the ground tyre, the pressure can
be adjusted by releasing the retaining bolts and aligning the
plates to an alternative set of holes. Secure the retaining bolts
when the adjustment has been made. See Fig. 3.
