CAUTION: The X4S Track System by Camso is first and foremost designed to provide the
best performance in terms of traction and floatation in conditions of extreme terrain such
as deep snow and mud. The Track System is also designed for All-terrain and Side–by-
Side type vehicles that can ride at a maximum speed of 40 km/h (about 70 km/h on the
speedometer). Exceeding this speed when the terrain conditions are dry can cause
premature wear and or major breakdowns on the Track System. If breakage occurs due to
excessive speed, damage will not be covered under normal warranty. It is the user's
responsibility to abide by these terms of use.
CAUTION: Longevity of the Camso X4S Track System components is directly linked to the
way the System is used. Sportive driving, rapid direction changes and repeated fast turns
(especially on power steering vehicles) are not advised. These driving styles increase the
risk of derailing and can cause premature wear and or major breakdowns on the Track
System which will not be covered under normal warranty.
CAUTION: The Camso X4S Track System is designed for installation and use on a
specific range of All-Terrain and light Side-by-Side vehicles. Any installation and use on
a vehicle that is not on Camso’s application list, will not be covered under warranty.

SAFETY
USER NOTICE AND DISCLAIMER
The Camso X4S System was initially designed to
be used in winter conditions and was then adapted
to be used in fall and spring conditions.
This document holds important information
regarding driving an ATV or SxS equipped with the
Camso X4S System by Camso. It is mandatory
that every user takes the time to carefully read,
understand and then consult this reference
manual and user guide as well as the vehicle’s
owner manual as needed. When purchasing either
a new or used Track System, the user must obtain
all documentation related to the System, including
manuals and guides related to the vehicle on
which the System is installed.If need be, contact
the Camso products dealer nearest to you to
obtain any additional information. You may also
consult the Camso Web site at www.camso.co
and contact our technical support by email at
enduser[email protected].
Camso believes that there are certain risks related
to the installation and use of the System. Our
experience shows that the System is safe.
However, the user must be aware of the risks
related with driving an ATV or SxS and of the
particularities if the vehicle is equipped with this
type of System. The vehicle driver must, at all
times, respect all applicable laws and regulations,
the indications of the System manufacturer and
the indications from the vehicle manufacturer fixed
by law, namely when age restrictions exist and
vehicle base equipment is required (headlights,
flashers and brake lights, rear view mirror, etc.).
The user must always wear adequate safety
equipment, such as a helmet, safety glasses (or
visor), protective clothing, boots and gloves. It is
understood that driving while impaired or
intoxicated presents a danger for the ATV or SxS
user and others and is against the law.
The System consists of many moving parts,
including transmission wheels. If an object lodges
itself or becomes jammed into the System and
blocks the track, it is mandatory to stop the engine
and the vehicle and apply the security brake
before removing said object. By avoiding to do so,
the user exposes himself to sudden movement of
the vehicle or to breakage of a part or component
coming from the System, which could cause
severe injuries. It is also very important to wear full
length clothing and always avoid hanging or
stringy accessories.
Driving a vehicle equipped with such a System
requires particular precautions and a knowledge of
proper driving techniques of such vehicles. An
evaluation by the user of the conditions and terrain
(state of the ground, grade of hill, density of snow,
etc.) is equally essential.
An ATV or SxS equipped with a System cannot
compete and/or be used to perform stunts,
acrobatics or other exploits, as these could result in
loss of control or severe injuries.
Insufficient knowledge of the ATV or SxS during
down hill riding, climbs and crossing of obstacles
and turns can result in tipping or roll over, and can
cause severe injuries.
Carrying a passenger, a load or attaching a tow can
cause the ATV or SxS to be less stable, and affect
usability of the vehicle. Unless otherwise
prescribed by law and by the vehicle manufacturer,
you must not carry a passenger, loads or tow any
objects.
The installation of a System:
• Increases ground clearance.
• Changes the center of gravity.
• Increases the ATV or SxS width and weight.
• Reduces ground pressure.
These parameters will effectively change driving
characteristics of an ATV or SxS equipped with the
System.
Consequently, it is highly recommended that the
user adapt his driving style to the new
characteristics mentioned above. The driver
must always use caution when he crosses
obstacles, circulates through narrow paths, meets
vehicles coming in the opposing direction, etc.
As it was designed, the System will considerably
reduce the ATV or SxS top speed and can falsify
speedometer readings. Generally, the System
transmission wheel diameter is less than that of the
tire. Therefore, the vehicle speed will be less than
that actually displayed. Whether the vehicle is
equipped or not with the System, users must
always adapt the speed to actual driving
conditions. Users must never exceed speed limits
or drive faster than their capacities allow.
Excessive speed remains one of the main causes
of severe accidents on ATV and SxS.
Camso is proud to offer conversion kits for ATV
and light SxS within its wide range of products.
Camso X4S Track Systems are not only reliable,
but safe. However, there are risks inherent to
driving a vehicle equipped with the System. It is
therefore very important that a driver familiarize
himself with proper driving techniques of a vehicle
equipped with a System, and that he adapt his
driving to his level of experience and continually
evaluate operating conditions and terrain to safely
and efficiently make the best of the Camso X4S
Track System.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
HINTS AND TIPS
• Before leaving for an excursion, make sure to
bring with you the following: 13 mm, 14 mm, 15
mm, 16 mm, 17 mm, and 19 mm wrenches and
sockets, an ax, a shovel, a tow cable, a lifting
jack and an adjustable wrench.
• Generally, the slower you go, the better the
traction will be.
• If an excursion on unknown or remote terrain is
planned, make sure to have in your possession
a cellular or satellite phone, a first aid kit and
spare parts.
• If you drive off trails, always beware of hidden
obstacles.
• If you ride in deep snow, do not intentionally spin
the tracks (tracks are rotating but the vehicle is
not moving).This could cause the vehicle to get
stuck.
BREAK-IN PERIOD
CAUTION: A break-in period is necessary to allow
the components of the system to settle and adjust
themselves to each other.
During the break-in period (4 hours or 80
kilometers), follow these recommendations:
CAUTION: Avoid running under dry and clean
conditions. (For example: asphalt, hay or straw
field, etc.). Start sharp turns at very low speed: (10
km/h maximum real speed).
• A GOOD break-in period must be done in a
lubricated environment such as water, mud,
snow, soft soil, sand, dust, etc.
• A BAD break-in period can generate smoke,
odors of burned rubber as well as plastic deposits
on the sprocket and/or the frame.
CAUTION: Non-compliance with the usage
recommendations can lead to a warranty claim
refusal.
PRE-USE VERIFICATION
CAUTION: Before each ride make sure that the
System’s wheels and moving parts are free and that
they are not frozen or stuck on the frame.
CAUTION: Track systems installed on an ATV or SxS
project more snow, dirt, water, or mud than tires.
The owner/driver is responsible for adapting engine
and CVT air intakes to minimize the risks of
breakdowns and/or damage to mechanical
components.

WARNING
Driving a vehicle equipped with Track Systems is
different from driving a vehicle on wheels. It is
strongly recommended that the safety guidelines
provided below are followed to prevent any
accident and/or serious malfunction that could
affect the occupants, the vehicle or the Track
Systems.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
STEEP DESCENTS
CAUTION: It is not advisable to change direction
during steep descents. This can lead to a serious
malfunction of the vehicle’s steering system and
Track Systems.
CAUTION: During a steep descent, it is advisable to
keep the handlebars straight and to begin turning
when the vehicle is on flat ground, thus avoiding
subjecting the vehicle components and the System
to any high stress.
CAUTION: Reduce your speed at all times; Track
Systems installed on a vehicle do not have the
same absorption capacity as tires.
DESCENDING AND BEING STUCK IN
REVERSE
CAUTION: If the rear Track Systems get stuck in the
snow, avoid moving or towing the vehicle in reverse
to ease it from its position, as this could lead to a
malfunction of the Systems. If possible, move it in
the forward direction to free it from the snow.
CAUTION: It is advisable to remove the snow from
the top of the rear Track Systems and to compact it
behind the Systems, using your feet, to dislodge the
track. Shoveling remains the best alternative in this
situation.
CAUTION: Always operate in 4x4 mode, this
significantly reduces possibility of derailing in any
conditions.
WARNING
Allow for a greater braking distance and
periodically apply the brakes while driving to
prevent ice build-up on brake components.
WARNING
Adapt your driving style to surrounding conditions
(weather, traffic, etc.) and your driving abilities.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
DRIVING OVER AN OBSTACLE TALLER
THAN 30 cm [12 in]
CAUTION: It is not advisable to attempt to drive
over an obstacle taller than 30 cm [12 in], such as a
tree trunk, stump or big rock.
CAUTION: If the situation occurs, insert a log or a
rock to lower the height of the obstacle and
facilitate driving over the obstacle.
CAUTION: In loaded / working mode (100 kg and
over), reduce significantly your speed and be extra
careful on rough terrain.
CAUTION: Never exceed vehicle cargo and tow
capacity specified by your vehicle manufacturer on
any type of terrain.
DRIVING OVER A STEEP RIDGE
CAUTION: It is not advisable to attempt to drive over
an obstacle, such as a tree trunk, big rock or steep
ridge that could lodge itself between the front and
the rear Track Systems and immobilize the vehicle.
The best option is to bypass this type of obstacle.
DRIVING OVER AN OBSTACLE
WARNING
The driver must remain vigilant and cautious at
all times. Snow and mud can hide dangerous
obstacles.
WARNING
Always follow the ATV or SxS manufacturer safety
rules and recommendations regarding,

ADJUSTMENTS
NOTE: Once the angle of attack on the front systems
is set, verify once again to confirm the
adjustment.
Figure 8
BASIC TUNING (Front Track Systems)
• An adjustment of more than 270 mm [10 ⅝ in.],
measured with the flat bar, provides easier
steering but produces a wobbling effect at high
speed.
• An adjustment of less than 270 mm [10 ⅝ in.],
measured with the flat bar, results in harder
steering and more stability at high speed.
ANGLE OF ATTACK - REAR SYSTEMS
To obtain the correct angle of attack on rear Track
Systems, perform the following:
RIGID AXLE OR TRAILING ARM SUSPENSION
CAUTION: Some vehicles require a particular
adjustment. Refer to the Installation Guidelines
specific to your vehicle model to confirm the
adjustment.
• Stabilizing arm (1) must be attached to Track
System and to rear anchor bracket (2) installed

Track Systems mounted on an ATV or
SxS increase ground clearance and vehicle
stability. Be careful after re-installing your wheels;
the handling caracteristics of the vehicle will differ
from those produced by Track Systems.
ALIGNMENT
Parallelism must be adjusted with the ATV on the
ground, driving the vehicle forward about 3
meters [10 ft.] and measuring toe–in distance.
Refer to Figure 19.
NOTE: Every time the measurement has to be taken,
drive in reverse, then, drive forward again on
about 3 meters [10 ft.].
CAUTION: Verify condition of steering system
components before adjusting parallelism.
Damaged components can prevent proper
adjustment and impair proper operation of the
system.
CAUTION: Parallelism adjustment of the front
Track Systems is very important and is directly
linked to the longevity of the system components.
Users must follow attentively the adjustment and
verification recommendations of this manual.

Dimension A : distance between inner front wheels
Dimension B : distance between inner back wheels
A - B = 0 to 3 mm [1/8 inch]
Dimension A must be equal to or greater than
dimension B without exceeding 3 mm [1/8 inch].

ADJUSTMENTS
Adjustment Method
To adjust the vehicle’s steering system, first
loosen coupling rod nuts (1), then screw or
unscrew the coupling rod (2) an equal number of
revolutions on both sides of the vehicle. Re-
tighten nuts when adjustment is complete. See
Figure 20 or Figure 21.
NOTE: Starting with an open alignment setting
provides a higher degree of precision of the
adjustment.
CAUTION: Before loosening coupling rod nuts (1)
on the vehicle's steering system, remember that
some nuts have reverse threads. Make sure to
unlock the nut in the proper rotational direction.

TRACK TENSION
Figure 28
• Loosen jam nut (1) and turn adjusting nut (2) to
set track tension. See Figure 29.
Figure 29
• The table below shows the force (3) applied
and the deflection (4) which must occur to
correctly set track tension. See also Figure 31.
NOTE: The track tension testing tool, shown below in
Figure 30, can be purchased through an
authorized Camso dealer. Part #2000-00-3125.

BASIC TUNING
• Higher rubber track tension reduces the risk of
“derailing” and reduces sprocket “ratcheting”.
NOTE: Track tension set too high could cause
premature wear on system components and
is therefore not recommended.
• Lower rubber track tension provides better
traction, a smoother ride and better fuel
economy.
Final Check
Ride at slow speed on a distance of about 1.5 km
[1 mile]. Re–adjust as required.
WARNING
The tensioner assembly bolt must never be
loosened while adjusting the track tension. This
bolt is designed for assembly and alignment of
the tensioner with the frame. The tensioner must
always be realigned when this bolt is loosened.

MAINTENANCE
MAINTENANCE
CAUTION: Regular inspection, adjustment and
lubrication of the Track System is essential to its
good running order and safe operation. Users are
responsible to perform maintenance and regularly
adjust their Track System. The “Maintenance”
section provides the necessary information to
perform adequate maintenance on the Track
System.
CAUTION: Failure to do regular maintenance at
the prescribed intervals and perform the
preventive adjustments indicated in the
maintenance schedule can result in premature
wear and important breakage on the Track System
that will not be covered under the warranty. Users
are responsible to follow the maintenance
schedule provided by the manufacturer.
CAUTION: Camso recommends not using a brake
cleaning solvent to clean the Track System. This
may damage sealing components and stickers.
The maintenance schedule has been established
in order to provide optimum durability for your
Track System. The type of usage and the
conditions in which the Track System is used,
have a direct bearing on the frequency of
maintenance actions to perform. After inspection
of your Track System, you will be able to
determine if the recommended maintenance
intervals are correct or to adjust them as needed.
For optimum performance and maximum
durability, please refer to the maintenance chart
below.
For more details on the maintenance program,
consult the Maintenance specifications on
page 18 and page 19.
WARNING
Do not insert hands or feet into or near the
System unless the engine is off, and the vehicle is
stopped with the security brake engaged.
