by a hex nut. Make adjustments to the wire’s tension with
the lever in the upwards (disengaged) position
(see Figure 29).
1. To adjust the tension loosen the hex nut, unthread the
hex nut to move it down the screw length one half inch
or more.
2. Next rotate the turnbuckle which threads the screw into
the turnbuckle until the desired tension is achieved. You
can also rotate the screw with a small diameter phillips
head screwdriver placed up through the bottom of the
spring.
3. Then re-thread the hex nut until it is tight against the
housing and tighten with pliers or wrench.
The control wire should be taught to operate correctly on
both the auger and the drive controls.
TrackTension Adjustment
Check the track tension by applying pressure on the
track midway between the upper and rear track rollers.
Deflection should be approximately 3/8”(9.6 mm). If
deflection is excessive, tighten the track tension. If unit
pulls to the left or right when a straight path is desired
adjust the track tension. If the unit is pulling to the left,
tighten the left track adjuster. If the unit is pulling to the
right, tighten the right track adjuster.
To adjust (see Figure 30):
1. Tighten the adjuster nut to tighten the track tension.
Loosen the adjuster nut to reduce track tension.
2. Check that unit tracks straight with no pulling to either
side.
