1. With a bucket on the loader arms, lower the
bucket to the ground so that the front of the
traction unit lifts off of the ground a few
inches.
2. Stop the engine, and remove the key.
3. Using a water hose or pressure washer, remove
dirt from each track system.
Important: Ensure that you use
high-pressure water to wash only the track
area. Do not use a high-pressure washer to
clean the rest of the traction unit. Do not use
high pressure water between the drive sprocket
and the traction unit or you may damage
the motor seals. High-pressure washing can
damage the electrical system and hydraulic
valves or deplete grease.
Important: Ensure that you fully clean the
road wheels, the tension wheel, and the drive
sprocket (Figure 43). The road wheels should
rotate freely when clean.

tension using the following procedure:
