Track Setter
The track setter uses an electric actuator to raise and lower it and a white fiberglass rod for down force:
-
The electric actuator rotates a steel bar that has four steel tubes.
-
The track setter can be positioned in any of the four steel tubes on the steel bar by pulling one pin:
-
Left side
-
Left middle
-
Right middle
-
Right side
-
-
The track setter mount has a steel rod and a white fiberglass rod attached.
-
The steel rod carries the weight of the track setter when it is up.
-
The loop on the end of the steel rod moves up and down the orange indicator rod to indicate how much down force is applied to the track setter.
-
The white fiberglass rod flexes and applies down force when the track setter is on the snow. It also flexes sideways to allow the track setter to track smoothly around curves in the trail.
-
I normally use a 1/2" fiberglass rod, but I also have a 5/8" fiberglass rod that can be used when more down force is required.
