7.6 TRACK ALIGNMENT PROCEDURE
NOTE
• Do this procedure if rubber track lugs are overheating.
• Do the adjustment on a flat surface.
1. Drive the vehicle at low speed (10 km/h max) for 2.5 km (1.5 miles) in order to determine whether the track is aligned.
2. Hand feel the lugs to check if they are overheating. If the lugs are not overheating, no adjustment is required. If the
temperature is higher on one side, it means the lugs are rubbing against the wheels, a result of the track pushing
on that side.
• A = Wheels
• B = Cold
• C = Lugs
• D = Track
• E = Hot
NOTE
• The temperature of an overheating lug is 60 °C or more. The lug will be too hot to keep a bare hand on it
for more than a few seconds.
• If the temperature is higher on one side but it is lower than 60 °C (140 °C), the system can be operated
anyway.
• Check overheating on both sides of the lug.
