Track Replacement
Tracks must be replaced when there is a minimum 10mm of tread remaining, or sooner if
there are signs of excessive cuts, cracks, or damage that could affect their safe use.
Never attempt to work on any machine that it not safely supported and chocked. Only use
suitable equipment for the task that is fully capable of supporting the machines entire weight.
Ensure suitable safety gear is worn at all times when performing maintenance tasks. Beware,
there is ‘pinch risk’ when working on track components – keep hands clear of risk areas.
Track Removal Procedure

Raise machine off the ground to a height of approximately 30-40cm;
ensure the
machine is stable and suitably supported.

Clean undercarriage components and the surrounding area of the machine prior to
performing maintenance on this area of the machine.

Remove tensioner access panel (1) .

Loosen valve on tensioner unit a sufficient amount to allow the release of grease
pressure (2) .

Compress tension unit; this can be done by using your foot to push track and idler
wheel rearwards (3) .

Draw the track downwards and outwards at its mid-point position on the lower run to
pull it off its seating, carefully lever between track and roller until track is free
enough to be removed
(4) .
Tracks are heavy items; keep clear of the track as it falls to the ground.
Track Fitting Procedure
Installing the new track is basically a reversal of the removal procedure above; tension the
track by pumping grease into the tensioner unit to a pressure of
130-150bar (Max).

to track tensioning page for details.
