REMOVING THE RUBBER TRACK.
Stop your machine on a solid and level surface. Jack up side of machine under main frame
and support it in safe condition.
Remove the cover plate (68) on side of track frame that gives access to the adjustment system.
To loosen a track slowly unscrew valve (74) counter-clockwise for no more than one turn. One
turn of valve (74) is sufficient for loosening the track.
If grease does not start to drain out then slowly rotate the track.
Insert 3 steel tubes in the space between the rollers and the tracks. Rotate the driving gear
in reverse so that the steel tubes proceed with the track and contract the front idler wheel.
Exercise force sideways to slide the track and lift it off the front idler wheel.
INSTALLING THE RUBBER TRACK.
Make sure that you are always in safe conditions with the machine lifted before performing the
track installation operation.
Mesh the track links in the sprocket and place the other end of the track on the front idler wheel.
Rotate the driving gear in reverse slowly and push the track soles into the frame
Position the track using a steel tube and turn the driving gear again.
Make sure the track links mesh correctly with the sprocket and with the front idler wheel.
Adjust track tension as set out previously. Replace cover and lower back onto the ground.
UNDERCARRIAGE GREASE POINTS
Perform this maintenance procedure every 100 work hours, using lithium grease with EP2
consistency.
Clean grease nipples before connecting them to the grease gun.
Clean all grease that exits out after greasing.
Lubrication should be at more frequent intervals if the tracked undercarriage is used in
particularly severe operating conditions.
Grease points for the tracked undercarriage widening cylinder pins can be found when tracks
are extended out. Grease more regularly if working in dusty or wet conditions.
