Rear Suspension Stopper Strap
The function of the stopper strap is to control the transfer of vehicle weight during acceleration and to control track lead angle.
The longer the belt, the more the weight will be transferred to the track to provide better traction. The shorter the belt, the lesser the weight transferred to the track, maintaining more positive steering.
Adjusting holes on the stopper strap allow adjusting it according to drivers' requirements, field and snow conditions.
CAUTION: Whenever stopper strap length is changed, track tension must be readjusted to prevent any possibility of operating the vehicle with too loose or too tight track tension.
For normal use, locate bolt through the 3rd hole from the strap end.
NOTE: When towing a load, it is suggested to adjust the stopper strap to its shortest length, soften front springs of rear suspension, and stiffen rear springs. These adjustments will improve steering ability.
Deep Snow Operation
When operating the vehicle in deep snow, it may be necessary to change the position of adjustment cams, stopper strap, and/or drivers riding position to change the angle at which the track rides on the snow.
Operators familiar with the various adjustments and snow conditions will dictate the most efficient combination.
Lubrication
Lubricate front and rear arms at grease fittings using suspension synthetic grease. There are 4 grease fittings. Always torque the nut to 11 Nm. Replace the strap if worn or torn.
