ADJUSTING TRACK TENSION
Tilt the platform of the Super-Trac
and loosen the idler shaft nuts and
tension shaft nuts (on both sides).
Use the adjusting bolts to adjust the
tension of the tracks.
Turn the adjusting bolts in a
clockwise direction to increase
tension.
The upper part of the track should
be approximately 5 inches (125mm)
above the ground when a force of
approximately 4.4 lbs (2 kg) is
applied to a point approximately
18.5 inches (470mm) from the
center of the driving sprocket shaft.
Force applied
4.4 lbs. (2 kgs)
After adjusting the tension, tighten
the tension shaft nuts and idler
shaft nuts securely.
WARNING
The tracks will come
off if they are too
loose. If they are too
tight they will place a
greater load on the
motors and shorten
the life of the
batteries. Adjust so
that both sides are at
the same tension or
you may not be able
to move the Super-
Trac in a straight line.
