5.0 Track System Installation
5.1 Handling of the Track System
The track systems can be handled by fork lifts or by hoists using textile bands. If using a forklift, the track
systems can be lifted from the base of the track system or by carefully sliding the forks through the drive
wheel.
WARNING
Danger of crushing. Use suitable lifting devices (capacity at least 6600 lbs
(3000Kg)), wear safety equipment and observe the safety rules.
WARNING
In case of a fork lift use for handling operations, be careful not to damage
the rubber track. Metal chains or cables are not recommended.
WARNING
Use a chock between each idler wheel and track to prevent the track
system from rolling if using a forklift and handling the track system by the
base.
WARNING
When setting a track system on the ground but off of the machine, place
track system on a flat surface and place a wheel chock in front of and to
the rear of the track system to prevent the track system from rolling.
WARNING
If lifting the track system by placing the forks in the spokes of the
drivewheel, use caution to prevent damage to the drivewheel and
tensioning system (hydraulic accumulator).

5.2 Track System Installation on Case IH and New Holland Combines
with 2A-1083-100 Limiter Kit
1. Place combine on a level surface and lock the combine harvester to avoid any
movement.
2. Using an adequate lifting device, lift the combine on installation side. Follow procedures
identified in the Combine’s Operator’s Manual to properly remove and handle tires.
Keeping the front axle parallel to the ground will aid in ease of installation.
3. Remove the tire(s) from the axle. Follow procedures identified in the Combine’s
Operator’s Manual to properly remove and handle tires.
WARNING
Safety of the installation depends on the right operation in lifting and
supporting the combine harvester. Check the work area thoroughly and work
in a level area. Respect safe operating practices, operate in conditions of
enough light. Make sure the free spaces of the work area are suitable for the
dimensions of the parts to be handled and for the lifting equipment
maneuvers.
Be careful: risk of injury.
4. Remove the bolts from the locations below from the combine final drive to install the
oscillation limiter.

NOTE: Older CTS units use a fine
threaded bolt. Model year 2015 and
newer CTS units use a coarse threaded
bolt. Torque remains the same for both
bolt styles
7. Identify if the combine has axle extensions
installed or not. Combine axle extensions are a
factory option when purchasing a combine.
Although, a large portion of the combines in
North America have the axle extensions, it is
still important to verify that the combine has the
axle extensions installed to determine best
installation of the CTS track systems.
8. Install the track system onto the combine axle. Take care that the front of the track is on
the tensioning cylinder side.
a. Combines with axle extensions already installed.
No additional changes are required and CTS
should be bolted directly (with the addition of the
spacer plate included in the fitment kit) to the
combine axle. Install spacer plate onto the axle
hub.
NOTE: The wheel studs are not used when
mounting the CTS to the combine axle. Only the
thru bolts from the CTS drivewheel and threading
directly into the axle housing are used. These
bolts are supplied with the fitment kit.

•Minor modifications to the
combine will be required in
order for the track to clear.
•NOTE: This allows
approximately 2.5 ± 1 inch (65 ±
25 mm) of clearance between the track and the combine.
iii. Optional CTS Installation (without axle extensions)
•Use the spacer
plate and adapter
plate
•Some
modifications to
the machine may
be necessary to
prevent track
system from
contacting
combine.
•NOTE: This will
allow
approximately 7.5
± 1 inch (190 ± 25
mm) of clearance
between the track
and combine
•NOTE: Higher stress loads will be placed on the bolted joint
•NOTE: Limit high dynamic loading. Inspect bolted joint during daily
inspection, especially if running with large headers and wet heavy
crops
•NOTE: Additional parts will need to be purchased from Camso in
order to install the CTS in this manner.
