USE OF THE MACHINE AND RELATED CONTROLS
145
q
Track gauge adjustment control (version with adjustable track gauge)
WARNING
q
Select the narrow track gauge only when the machine must travel in small spaces. For normal applica-
tions and digging operations, always select the wide track gauge.
q
Adjusting the track gauge on slopes is dangerous, since this may affect the lateral stability of the ma-
chine. Therefore, it is advisable to adjust the track gauge on level surfaces.
q
When the track gauge is narrowed completely, also the lateral stability of the machine is reduced. In
work sites where the machine runs the risk of overturning, widen the track gauge and pay the utmost at-
tention during travel.
q
Before using the blade/adjustable track gauge lever, check the position of the switch.
q
Set the blade/adjustable track gauge switch to the track gauge
adjustment position.

To adjust the track gauge, shift the lever positioned to the right
of the operator seat forward or backward.
IMPORTANT
q
If there are obstacles that prevent the adjustment of the
track gauge, remove them or place the machine on a level
surface, in order to be able to find the correct position for
the adjustment.
q
If the tracks are dirty with mud, clean them thoroughly be-
fore adjusting the track gauge.
q
On machines with adjustable track gauge it is possible to modify
the blade width to adapt it to the track gauge; two blade configu-
rations are available.
A – Narrow blade
B – Wide blade
This operation must be carried out on a level surface, with the
equipment resting on the ground and after stopping the engine.

To modify the blade width, remove the pins (1) and the exten-
sions (2).

Put back the extensions, inverting their position (the right one
on the left side and the left one on the right side, as shown in
the figure).
