CONTINUOUS TRACKS
The snow blower is equipped with an auto-tensioner on both the
left and right sides.
The system is designed to maintain constant
tension on both tracks.
However, if the snow blower fails to
propel itself because the track wheel is “jumping” drive lugs,
the tracks are too loose and are in need of adjustment. See an
authorized Service Dealer to have the tracks properly adjusted.
