Stopper Strap
The function of the stopper strap is to control the transfer of vehicle weight during acceleration and to control track lead angleThe longer the belt, the more the weight will be transferred to the track to provide better tractionThe shorter the belt, the lesser the weight transferred to the track, thus maintaining more positive steeringThe longer the belt, the greater will be the track lead angleA shorter belt will reduce track lead angle which may help when negotiating particular snow conditionAdjusting holes on the stopper strap allow to adjust it according to driver's requirements, field andor snow conditionsCAUTION: Whenever stopper strap length is changed, track tension must be readjusted to prevent any possibility of operating vehicle with too loose or too tight track tensionFor normal use, locate bolt through 3rd hole from strap end
