6.0 ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
6.1 Check Track Alignment
1.
Install the stabilizer bars/turnbuckle assemblies to a “no” pre-load condition.
Turnbuckle jamb nut torque is 670 Nm +/- 65 Nm.Some play should be present
at the rod ends. Make sure to unscrew the lock nut on the turnbuckle prior to
adjusting the bars to the needed length.
2. Once installed, measure the inside distance front and rear on the mainframes
as noted below. Undercarriages must be parallel to within 6mm (0.25 in.). A
suitable location for measurement is noted by arrows below the turnbuckle eyes
in the diagram below.
3. Prior to checking track alignment the implement should be empty and spring
tensioning mechanism with no pre-load.
4. Pull the implement on a flat surface for a suitable time frame, allowing the belts
to relax and move freely on the undercarriage rollers.
5. Drive in a straight line for roughly 200 ft and coast the tractor to a stop. Place
the tractor in PARK and apply the emergency brake. Do not apply braking
action during this process as sudden stops can affect track position during the
alignment process.
