CAMSO ATV T4S FOR ALL-TERRAIN VEHICLES $'-8S7M(176 20 ATV T INTRODUCTION These guidelines are designed to provide you with the information necessary to perform the required adjustments to the System. The right adjustments have a direct impact on performance and lifespan of the System's components. It is important to follow closely the instructions contained in this document in order to make the correct system adjustments and thereby reach optimum system performance. Follow all the instructions contained in this document. To make sure that every step has been performed, a checklist is provided at the end of the instructions to verify that all the adjustments have been made. IMPORTANT The warranty does not apply if the Track System was installed by someone other than a Camso dealer or authorized distributor. IMPORTANT Verifying your adjustments on the systems is mandatory after the first use of the vehicle; the track tension, alignment and angle of attack of each track system must be re-verified. Incorrect adjustments can decrease the performance of the systems and result in premature wear or breakage of certain components. 1099-00-2231 - VERSION A � and MC are trademarks of Camso inc.

The serial number's last digit (0, 1, 2, 3) indicates the mounting position on the vehicle. Lay out the track systems accordingly. Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2. NOTE: If the serial numbers on the track systems do not match, contact your authorized Camso dealer / distributor. Figure 1 Figure 2 1 ADJUSTMENTS ADJUSTMENTS NOTE: To make the following adjustments, position the vehicle on a flat and level surface. ANGLE OF ATTACK - FRONT SYSTEMS To obtain the correct angle of attack on front Track Systems, perform the following: � Use handlebars to point tracks straight ahead. � Temporarily apply pressure to the front of the track to make stay flat on the ground � Stabilizing arm (1) must be attached to front anchor bracket (2) mounted on vehicle. Figure 3. � Loosen jam nut (1). Adjust length of rod end (2) by rotating the steering limiter support plate on (3) the stabilizing arm. Use a 30 mm wrench to rotate support plate and obtain 254 mm above the ground. Refer to Figure 5. NOTE: The stabilizing arms on front Track Systems incorporate a steering limiter support plate (3) that is bent. This plate should be positioned inwards, towards the vehicle. Figure 3 � Position a flat bar on top of rear wheels of front track system and measure from the ground up to flat bar as shown on Figure 4. . Figure 5 � When angle of attack is correctly set, tighten the jam nut (1) back against the stabilizing arm to 40 N�m [30lb�ft] of torque. See Figure 6. CAUTION: Follow the recommended torque when tightening the jam nut. Over-tightening the nut might damage the rod end. Figure 4 NOTE : Before each measurement, temporarily apply light pressure to the front of the track to make sure that it stays flat on the ground. 2 Figure 6 NOTE: Once the angle of attack on the front systems is set, verify once again to confirm the adjustment. ADJUSTMENTS Figure 7 BASIC TUNING (Front Track Systems) � An adjustment of more than 254 mm [10 in.], measured with the flat bar, provides easier steering but produces a wobbling effect at high speed. � An adjustment of less than 254 mm [10 in.], measured with the flat bar, results in harder steering and more stability at high speed. ANGLE OF ATTACK - REAR SYSTEMS To obtain the correct angle of attack on rear Track Systems, perform the following: RIGID AXLE OR TRAILING ARM SUSPENSION CAUTION: Some vehicles require a particular adjustment. Refer to the Installation Guidelines specific to your vehicle model to confirm the adjustment. � Stabilizing arm (1) must be attached to Track System and to rear anchor bracket (2) installed on vehicle. See Figure 8. NOTE: Actual Rear Anchor bracket (2) mounted on vehicle may differ from the one in the illustration. Figure 8 � Loosen nut (3) compressing stabilizing rod spring. See Figure 9. NOTE: Use narrow part of adjusting provided with stabilizing arm, adjustment. Figure 9 template, to make � Set nut (4) to obtain a distance of 10 mm between nut and stabilizing arm guide as shown on Figure 10. Figure 10 � Turn nut (3) until it comes in contact with spring, then compress spring by rotating nut 1 1/2 turn. See Figure 11. 3 ADJUSTMENTS � Loosen anti-rotation bracket bolts (3) to allow the anti-rotation retainer (4) to rotate on its axis. See Figure 14. Figure 11 � IMPORTANT: Double-check the 10 mm minimum distance between nut and stabilizing arm guide. Re�adjust as needed. Figure 12. NOTE: Use the provided template to double-check the adjustment. Figure 14 � Loosen jam nut (5). Turn stabilizing arm (1) to adjust length of rod end (6) so that rubber cone (7) applies light pressure on anti�rotation retainer (4). Figure 15. Figure 12 INDEPENDENT SUSPENSION (IS) � Stabilizing arm (1) must be attached to rear anchor bracket (2) installed on vehicle. Figure 13. NOTE: Actual Rear Anchor bracket (2) mounted on vehicle may differ from the one in the illustration. Figure 15 � Re-tighten jam nut (5) to 40 N�m [30 lb-ft] of torque when adjustment is complete. Figure 16. Figure 13 4 Figure 16 CAUTION: Tighten the jam nut to the recommended torque specification. Over-tightening the nut might damage the rod end. � Re-tighten anti-rotation bracket bolts (3) to 50 N�m [37 lb-ft] of torque. See Figure 17. ADJUSTMENTS Figure 17 NOTE: Once the angle of attack on the rear systems is set, verify once again to confirm the adjustment. BASIC TUNING (Rear Track Systems) � The adjustment is incorrect when the stabilizing arm's rubber cone is compressed and deformed. The stabilizing arm's spring is then difficult or impossible to turn by hand. TRACK SYSTEM REMOVAL CAUTION: Leaving the anti-rotation anchor brackets attached to the suspension arms, after having removed the Track Systems, could cause interference which might damage the vehicle. Remove all Track System anti-rotation mechanism components installed on the vehicle before reinstalling the wheels. ALIGNMENT Parallelism must be adjusted with the ATV on the ground, driving the vehicle forward about 3 meters [10 ft.] and measuring toe�in distance. Refer to Figure 18. NOTE: Every time the measurement has to be taken, drive in reverse, then, drive forward again on about 3 meters [10 ft.]. CAUTION: Verify condition of steering system components before adjusting parallelism. Damaged components can prevent proper adjustment and impair proper operation of the system. CAUTION: Parallelism adjustment of the front Track Systems is very important and is directly linked to the longevity of the system components. Users must follow attentively the adjustment and verification recommendations of this manual. Figure 18 Dimension A: distance between inner front wheels Dimension B: distance between inner back wheels Dimension A must be equal to or greater than dimension B without exceeding 3 mm [1/8 inch]. A - B = 0 to 3 mm [1/8 inch] Adjustment Method To adjust the ATV's steering system, first loosen coupling rod nuts (1), then screw or unscrew the coupling rod (2) an equal number of revolutions on both sides of the vehicle. Re-tighten nuts when adjustment is complete. See Figure 19. NOTE: Starting with an open alignment setting provides a higher degree of precision in the adjustment. CAUTION: Remember that some nuts have reverse threads before loosening a coupling rod nuts (1) on the vehicle's steering system. Make sure to unlock the nut in the proper rotational direction. Figure 19 NOTE: Once parallelism of front Track Systems is set, verify once more to confirm adjustment setting. 5 ADJUSTMENTS Measure A: Measure the distance inside the front �202 mm wheels on the front Track Systems. See figures 20, 21 and 22. Measure B: Measure the distance inside the rear �202 mm wheels on the front Track Systems. See figures 23, 24 and 25. Figure 20 Figure 23 Figure 21 (Distance between front wheels) Figure 24 (Distance between rear wheels) Figure 22 6 Figure 25 TRACK TENSION WARNING The tensioner assembly bolt must never be loosened while adjusting the track tension. This bolt is designed for assembly and alignment of the tensioner with the frame. The tensioner must always be realigned when this bolt is loosened.
