Lower Machine and Test Operation

What happens here

Once both tracks are installed and correctly tensioned, carefully remove the jack stands or blocking from under the machine. Slowly lower the mini skid steer back onto the ground using the hydraulic jack. Once both tracks are on the ground, remove the wheel chocks. Start the machine and slowly move it forward and backward a short distance to allow the tracks to seat properly. Inspect the tracks for any unusual noises, wobbles, or signs of improper installation. Repeat the tension check after a few hours of operation, as new tracks can stretch slightly.

Goal: Safely lower the machine and verify proper track installation and function.
