TIGHTENING TRACKS
With use, tracks tend to loosen. When operating with loose tracks,
they tend to slip over the driving wheel causing it to jump its
housing, thus damaging wear to the housing.
To check track tightness, proceed as follows.
1. Set the machine on a flat surface with compact ground, or on
asphalt or pavement.
2. lift the machine and set it on blocks or supports rated for the
weight of the machine so that the tracks are approximately 4”
off the ground.
3. Measure the track midline vs. the horizontal line. The reading
must not be more than 0,4”~0,6”.
If the distance is greater, proceed as follows.
1. Use the tipping handle to tip the hopper and set it on blocks or
supports rated for the weight of the box.
2. loosen locknut A.
3. Tighten bolt b until the correct tightness is restored.
4. Secure bolt b by tightening locknut A thoroughly.
5. Return the hopper to its original position.

Caution: Do not over-tighten your track. The adjustment
of the track and the brakes are linked. The braking
power will lessen the more the track is tightened.

If the adjustment bolt has no more adjustment left,
the tracks may have to be replaced.
0.4” ~ 0.6”
REPLACING TRACKS
Check the condition of the tracks periodically. If any track is
cracked or frayed, it should be replaced as soon as convenient.
1. lift up the hopper and insert a support rod for safety purposes.
2. lift the machine and set it on blocks or supports rated for the
weight of the machine so that the tracks are approximately 4”
off the ground. (See
