4.11.6
REPLACING RUBBER TRACK SHOE
Perform the work in pairs and the operator should operate the machine according to signals from the
other worker. The replacement of rubber track shoe is performed after raising up the machine.
It is
dangerous for the machine to fall unintentionally when replacing it. Do not move anything other than
the rubber track shoe to be replaced during the replacement work.
Grease cylinder is under high pressure. It is dangerous to loosen the grease nipple rapidly because
grease will splash. Loosen the grease nipple gradually with your face kept away from around the
grease nipple. The grease nipple can pop out due to the inner high pressure. Loosen it gradually
within one turn.
Make sure that the grease inside the grease cylinder is completely drained and then turn the
sprocket before removing the rubber track shoe.
It is very dangerous to splash the grease in other than the procedure described in "Removing
Rubber Track Shoe" in the next page. Contact KOBELCO authorized dealer/distributor for repair if the
rubber track shoe is not loosened.
Wash to remove any sand and soil around the tracks before replacement, inspection and adjustment.
