FAQs

What does “pitch” mean in these template instructions?

Pitch is the space between each lug row. The template covers multiple pitches during each placement.

How should the LONG-TEMP-2 template be handled for a 15" wide track?

Leave the black dotted outlined area intact for 15"/38cm wide tracks. If that outlined area has been removed, the modified template should not be used for 15" width track widths.

How do Angled Digger® support plates change drilling locations?

Offset drilling holes from the original pattern holes. Center the Angled Digger® support plate between the lugs over the original marks, then create a new offset drill mark at the center of the support plate hole.
