To perform this check, raise and block the front of
Mini-Skid Loader using the bucket tilt function, and
the rear of the Mini-Skid Loader with a suitable
lifting device. (See Fig. 4.9)
Check The Following Items (See Fig. 4.9A):
- Torques on 5/8” idler mount bolts (80 ft. lbs.)
- Idler wheels are unbroken and rotating freely.
Check idler wheel bolts to ensure tightness.
- For sprocket wear.
- Inspect tracks and springs for cracks and
premature failure.
- Sprocket bolt torque (80 ft. lbs.)

Ratcheting is the term given to sprocket/track
slippage. (When the sprocket spins inside the track).
This is a symptom of component failure and must be
diagnosed and corrected immediately.
