ESU000199 TRACK ADJUSTMENT WARNING A broken track, track fittings, or debris thrown by the track could be dangerous to an operator or bystanders. Observe the following precautions: • Do not allow anyone to stand behind the machine when the engine is running. • When the rear of the machine is raised to allow the track to spin, a suitable stand must be used to support the rear of the machine. Never allow anyone to hold the rear of the machine off the ground to allow the track to spin. Never allow anyone near a rotating track. • Inspect track condition frequently. Replace damaged track guide clips. Replace the track if it is damaged to the depth where fabric reinforcement material is visible or support rods are broken. Otherwise, track damage and/or failure could result in loss of braking ability and machine control, which could cause an accident. • Never install studs (cleats) closer than three inches from the edge of the track. Track Deflection Measurement 1. Lay the machine on its side. 2. Measure the track deflection with a spring scale. Pull at the center of the track with a force of 100 N {10 kg (22 lb)}. NOTE: Measure the gap between the slide runner and the edge of the track window. Measure both sides. 8-18
