How do I check the tension on the tracks?

Tension is by measured by the slack between the track rollers and inside of the track.

When correctly adjusted, this slack should be 0.60-0.75 inches.

How do I tighten the tracks?

1. Remove the protective cap from the grease valve.

2. Support track assembly so the track clears the ground.

3. Apply a standard grease gun to the grease valve fitting (zerk) and slowly pump grease

to extend the track tensioner against the compression spring. Continue to pump grease

until the track slack is 0.60-0.75 inches.

4. The grease valve has a check valve behind the zerk to prevent grease from coming

back under pressure. If it is necessary to release track tension, turn the check valve

CCW one half turn and allow grease to expel. Retighten when complete.

5. Lower the track back onto the ground and replace the protective cap.
