Track System Maintenance
1. Visually inspect all components of each track system for wear or
damage. Clean away any mud, dirt, dust, debris or other substances
that could impair the proper operation of the track system. Repair or
replace any worn or damaged components.
NOTICE:
Brake cleaning solvent may damage seals and labels. Do not use
brake cleaner to clean the track system.
2. Verify front and rear track angle of attack. Adjust as needed. See
pages 18-21.
3. Verify track system alignment. Adjust as needed. See pages 22-23.
4. Check the torque of critical bolts as identified in the Exploded Views
section of this manual beginning on page 42. Tighten any loose bolts
to specification using a high strength threadlocker such as Loctite®
263. Do not over-tighten.
Track Maintenance
1. Verify track tension. Adjust as needed. See pages 24-25.
2. Inspect tracks for wear or damage. See page 38. A worn or damaged
track can result in premature wear of system components. Replace a
worn or damaged track.
Wheel Maintenance
1. Inspect track system wheels for side wear. See page 37. Replace
worn or damaged wheels.
2. Inspect wheel bearings for restriction, noise or abnormal play in
rotation. Replace the wheel if any of these defects are present. See
page 29.
3. Inspect wheel seals. Clean away any mud, dirt, dust, debris or other
substances. Lubricate seals to maintain sealing performance and
prolong wheel lifespan. Replace any worn or damaged seals. See
