INTRODUCTION
These guidelines are designed to provide you with the information necessary to perform the
required adjustments to the System. The right adjustments have a direct impact on
performance and lifespan of the System’s components. It is important to follow closely the
instructions contained in this document in order to make the correct system adjustments and
thereby reach optimum system performance.
Follow all the instructions contained in this document. To make sure that every step has been
performed, a checklist is provided at the end of the instructions to verify that all the
adjustments have been made.
IMPORTANT
The warranty does not apply if the Track System was installed by someone other than a
Camso dealer or authorized distributor.
IMPORTANT
Verifying your adjustments on the systems is mandatory after the first use of the vehicle; the
track tension, alignment and angle of attack of each track system must be re-verified. Incorrect
adjustments can decrease the performance of the systems and result in premature wear or
breakage of certain components.

IMPORTANT
Before starting the installation, verify that the serial numbers are identical on all 4 track
systems. The serial number’s last digit (0, 1, 2, 3) indicates the mounting position on the
vehicle. Lay out the track systems accordingly. Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2.
NOTE: If the serial numbers on the track systems do not match, contact your authorized Camso
dealer / distributor.

ADJUSTMENTS
NOTE: To make the following adjustments, position
the vehicle on a flat and level surface.
ANGLE OF ATTACK - FRONT SYSTEMS
To obtain the correct angle of attack on front
Track Systems, perform the following:
• Use handlebars to point tracks straight ahead.
• Temporarily apply pressure to the front of the
track to make stay flat on the ground
•
Stabilizing arm ( 1 ) must be attached to front
anchor bracket (
2 ) mounted on vehicle. Figure 3.
Figure 3
• Position a flat bar on top of rear wheels of front
track system and measure from the ground up
to flat bar as shown on Figure 4.
.
Figure 4
NOTE : Before each measurement, temporarily apply
light pressure to the front of the track to make
sure that it stays flat on the ground.
• Loosen jam nut (1). Adjust length of rod end (2)
by rotating the steering limiter support plate on
(3) the stabilizing arm. Use a 30 mm wrench to
rotate support plate and obtain 270 mm above
the ground. Refer to Figure 5.
NOTE: The stabilizing arms on front Track Systems
incorporate a steering limiter support plate (3)
that is bent. This plate should be positioned
inwards, towards the vehicle.
Figure 5
• When angle of attack is correctly set, tighten
the jam nut (1) back against the stabilizing arm
to 40 N•m [30lb•ft] of torque. See Figure 6.
CAUTION: Follow the recommended torque when
tightening the jam nut. Over-tightening the nut
might damage the rod end.

ADJUSTMENTS
NOTE: Once the angle of attack on the front systems
is set, verify once again to confirm the
adjustment.
Figure 7
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
on vehicle. See Figure 8.
NOTE: Actual Rear Anchor bracket ( 2 ) mounted on
vehicle may differ from the one in the illustration.
Figure 8
• Loosen nut (3) compressing stabilizing rod
spring. See Figure 9.
Figure 9
NOTE: Use narrow part of adjusting template,
provided with stabilizing arm, to make
adjustment.
• Set nut (4) to obtain a distance of 10 mm
between nut and stabilizing arm guide as
shown on Figure 10.
Figure 10
• Turn nut (3) until it comes in contact with
spring, then compress spring by rotating nut
1 1/2 turns. See Figure 11.

ADJUSTMENTS
Figure 11
•IMPORTANT: Double-check the 10 mm
minimum distance between nut and stabilizing
arm guide. Re–adjust as needed. Figure 12.
NOTE: Use the provided template to double-check the
adjustment.
Figure 12
INDEPENDENT SUSPENSION (IS)
• Stabilizing arm ( 1 ) must be attached to rear
anchor bracket (
2 ) installed on vehicle. Figure 13.
NOTE: Actual Rear Anchor bracket ( 2 ) mounted on
vehicle may differ from the one in the illustration.
Figure 13
• Loosen anti-rotation bracket bolts (3) to allow
the anti-rotation retainer (4) to rotate on its axis.
See Figure 14.
Figure 14
• Loosen jam nut (5). Turn stabilizing arm (1) to
adjust length of rod end (6) so that rubber cone
(7) applies light pressure on anti–rotation
retainer (4). Figure 15.
Figure 15
• Re-tighten jam nut ( 5 ) to 40 N•m [30 lb-ft] of
torque when adjustment is complete. Figure 16.
Figure 16
CAUTION: Tighten the jam nut to the
recommended torque specification. Over-
tightening the nut might damage the rod end.

5
ADJUSTMENTS
• Re-tighten anti-rotation bracket bolts (3) to 50
N•m [37 lb-ft] of torque. See Figure 17.
Figure 17
NOTE: Once the angle of attack on the rear systems
is set, verify once again to confirm the
adjustment.
BASIC TUNING (Rear Track Systems)
• The adjustment is incorrect when the
stabilizing arm’s rubber cone is compressed
and deformed. The stabilizing arm’s spring is
then difficult or impossible to turn by hand.
TRACK SYSTEM REMOVAL
CAUTION: Leaving the anti-rotation anchor
brackets attached to the suspension arms, after
having removed the Track Systems, could cause
interference which might damage the vehicle.
Remove all Track System anti-rotation mechanism
components installed on the vehicle before
reinstalling the wheels.
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 18.
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 19 or Figure 20.
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 27
• Loosen jam nut (1) and turn adjusting nut (2) to
set track tension. See Figure 28.
Figure 28
• The table below shows the force (3) applied
and the deflection (4) which must occur to
correctly set track tension. See also Figure 30.
NOTE: The track tension testing tool, shown below in
Figure 29, can be purchased through an
authorized Camso dealer. Part #2000-00-3125.
Figure 29
Figure 30
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.
