THE TRAC SECTION
TRACK ADJUSTMENT
The track belts are adjusted at the factory. The adjuster
bolt is torqued to 10 ft-lbs.
*
The track belt may stretch
and need further adjustment after a period of use.
To adjust the track, remove the battery cover, loosen the
two clamp bolts on top of the frame at each side using
the 3/4 size wrench provided. Lift the foot rest and turn
the adjuster bolt in front of the frame on each side
evenly. Tighten the adjuster bolts on each side to 10 ft-lbs.
*
After proper tension or
torque is obtained, re-tighten the clamp bolts.

TRACK REPLACEMENT
NOTICE: Track replacement should be done only on a flat hard surface.
TURN OFF THE JOYSTICK AND UNPLUG THE CABLE.
Remove the jack and
wrench pouch from under the battery cover.
Slide the jack under the front of the machine at an angle
toward the side you want to work on to the center axle. Place the center of the jack under
the axle. Turn the jack handle clock-wise until the side of the machine rises about 1 inch
off the ground. Lift the foot rest. Using the supplied multi-wrench, find the end marked
7/8. Turn the adjuster bolt on each side of the front frame counter-clockwise until the
adjuster bolts are loosened, about 2". Using the end marked 3/4, loosen the two clamp
bolts on each side of the frame top. Push both front wheels back near the end of their
slots. Pull out the drive pin in the rear wheel on the side you are working on and turn it
1/4 turn so that the wheel turns by hand. Slip the track on the wheels, making sure the
track center rib is in the grooves of all the wheels. Tighten the adjuster bolts on each side
to 10 ft-lbs.
*
Measure each side, front to rear axle, and adjust until equal. Re-tighten the
clamp bolts on both sides. Release the drive pin and turn the track/wheel to engage the
drive pin. Lower the jack, remove it and put it and tools away, plug the cable into the
joystick, and you are ready to go. Check track tension after approximately 20 hours of
runtime. Adjust accordingly.
* 10 ft-lbs is a handle 6 inches long with 20 pounds applied at the end of the handle. If
you are using the wrench supplied with the machine the handle is about 6 inches long.
