Track Tension & Alignment Tool

• Set tension, gap, and alignment at the same time
• Hands-free accuracy: pre-set tool, place on track, and adjust accordingly
• Reduce wear & downtime: hyfax, idler wheels, and other track components
• Better fuel economy: less drag, more miles per tank
• Performance & Control: get the most your sled has to offer

• High quality aluminum components
• High-visibility indicator (red line) for precise tension setting
• Designed, built, and calibrated to last

1. Warm track to room temperature. Shut off engine and elevate rear (≈6″+).
   
2. Set the T-Block to your model’s track tension or weight and gap or slack using the results from the calculations below to determine the T-block position on the tools threaded body (See T-block position setting chart below).
   
   • • If Track Tension or Weight ≤ 12 lb: T-Block Position = Track Gap or Slack + 0.5
       
     • If Track Tension or Weight > 12 lb: T-Block Position = (Track Gap or Slack ÷ Track Tension or Weight) x 20

3. Loosen rear axle retaining nut.
   
4. At the specified measurement point, push down the track and place T-Block between clips:
   
   • Raised section up for ≤12 lb specs
     
   • Raised section down for >12 lb specs
     
5. From below, thread tool body into T-Block (tension pin up) and set to your preset position.
   
6. Use the sled’s adjustment screws until the red line is flush with the tool’s top.
   
7. Repeat on the opposite side; torque the axle nut to manufacturer spec.
8. Start engine and rotate the track to verify smooth operation.

Note: Your calculated T-Block setting position may be different than the listed settings on the T-Block setting chart. If so, use the closest setting to your calculated number. 

• New sleds: check before first ride; recheck at 100–200 miles (initial stretch).
  
• Routine: check every 1,000 miles and after installing new hyfax.
  
• Always follow owner’s manual specs for your model.

• Accuracy depends on using the correct specs from your owner’s manual.
• Use manufacturer torque values for retightening rear idler wheel shaft bolt
• Work with the engine off and your sled securely lifted.
