TRACK SPREAD (GAUGE) ADJUSTMENT
The track gauge, the distance between the two tracks, can be adjusted from 2 ft. 5 in. to 3 ft. 8 in. (0.98 m to 1.35
m). Increase the track gauge to provide more stability. Decrease the track gauge to access areas with limited space.
To adjust the track gauge:
1. If the track gauge is being adjusted while the machine
is moving, go to step 5. Otherwise, you will need to
raise the tracks off the ground.
2. Position the boom opposite the dozer blade.
3. Use the dozer blade control to lift the front of the tracks
slightly off the ground.
4. Lower the boom to lift the back of the tracks off the
ground.
5. Place the dozer blade/track spread switch to the track
spread position (1).
6. Increase the track gauge by pushing the dozer blade/
track spread control lever control lever (2) forward.
7. Decrease the track gauge by pulling the dozer blade/
track spread control lever (1) backward.
8. Lower the tracks to the ground and move the dozer
blade/track spread switch (1) to the dozer blade
position.
NOTICE!
When adjusting the track gauge, the machine
must either be moving or the tracks raised off
the ground using the boom and dozer blade.
Failure to follow this notice can damage the
machine.
