REPLACE RUBBER SHOES
(Machine equipped with rubber shoes)
WARNING
• Carry out this operation with two workers. The operator
must move the machine in accordance with the signals
from the other worker.
• The rubber shoes are replaced with the machine raised,
so it is extremely dangerous if the machine is lowered
by mistake during the replacement operation. During
the replacement operation, never move the rubber shoe
track except the rubber shoe track to be replaced.
In addition, never go under or put any part of your body
under the rubber shoe or track frame during the replace-
ment operation.
• To check that the track tension is correct, run the engine
at low idling, move the machine forward a distance
equal to the length of track on ground, then stop the ma-
chine.
IMPORTANT
• It is possible to switch from rubber to steel shoes. In any case, it is necessary to remove and adjust the
shock absorber of the idler roller. For this operation, contact your Komatsu Dealer.
• Prepare a grease gun
• Prepare a steel pipe
