4. Make sure that rubber washers of anti-rotation
arms are not tightened on one side or the other of
the support, and that the steel slide sticks out from
rubber washers.
5. Tighten the rod end and its locknut (C) using a 24
mm wrench and crescent wrench.
TT-082
6. Tighten the nut (B) towards the rubber damper
until movement is detected.
7. Tighten the lock nut (A) until the steel slide (D) is
secure between the nuts (C) and (B). Tighten to 60 ft-lb.
8. Tighten the lock nut (A) against the nut (B).
Break-In And
Maintenance
Break-In Period
After three hours or 50 miles of use, it is necessary to ver-
ify all cap screws used to install the track kit have retained
their torque specifications. Also inspect track tension by
verifying torque specifications of the tensioner cylinder
and visually inspect all moving and wear components.
Maintenance
1 The wheel bearings are sealed and are not grease-
able. In the long run, water can seep into their
housing and lead to corrosion. Such corrosion can
sometimes make wheels difficult to rotate after a
period of non-use. Rolling a few yards will un-jam
the wheels and make them usable. If they do not
un-jam, replace the bearings or wheel as neces-
sary.
2. By cleaning your ROV and track system after each
use, you make sure that no mud, snow, ice, or
debris interferes with moving parts, and will make
the next inspection easier.
3. Bolts are visible on the brackets, sprocket, track
tensioner and main axles (ROV nuts). These
should be checked regularly to ensure correct
torque.
4. Take care to clean contact surfaces between the
main axles of the ROV and those of the tracks.
! WARNING
1. When using the track system for the first time,
drive on familiar ground at low speed by making
turns in both directions to ensure that the installa-
tion was performed correctly and to familiarize with
the new driving style.
2. A break-in period is required after each track
replacement.
! WARNING
1. Annually perform a complete inspection.
2. It is the owner's responsibility to enforce the
inspection and maintenance program; otherwise the
use of the vehicle could be dangerous.
3. A damaged vehicle and/or track system are dan-
gerous for the driver and the surroundings.
4. Inspections must be conducted once the engine is
switched off and the vehicle is safely immobilized.
5. Perform a visual inspection of components before
each use.
6. Before any inspection and use, ensure that no mud,
snow, ice nor debris hamper the proper functioning of
mobile parts of the track system or vehicle.
7. Checking the level of tightening and the various
adjustments must be performed after three hours of
use, and after each repair or replacement of the track
system components.
8. The functioning of the track tensioner consists in
the tightening of a cylinder with an eccentric axis. If
the screw loosens, the track will eventually slacken
and de-track. It is important to have a tight torque
without exceeding the torque of 30 ft-lb ± 3.
9. The arm of the anti-rotation system is the element
that stabilizes driving and prevents tracks from turn-
ing around the main axles. Components must be in
good condition and must not present any play when
they are inspected on a flat surface and vehicle is
without cargo. Replace the rod end that links the arm
attached to brackets if there is significant play.
CAUTION
Driving with a component in bad condition damages
other components.
Never use a solvent to clean track assemblies: sol-
vents can cause rapid deterioration of rubber and
plastic. Use only soapy water to clean.
