Mr. Anderson
April 10, 2025
Yes, the charge pressure on the ASV PT-80 is adjustable. To adjust it, tilt the cab to access the drive pump, remove the charge relief valve, and add or remove shims to increase or decrease the pressure until it is within the specified range of 475 ± 30 psi.

Undercarriages The undercarriage assemblies in Rubber Track Loaders typically operate in harsh working conditions. They work in mud, gravel, debris and various other abrasive materials during operation. ASV recommends a daily inspection of the undercarriage assemblies and cleaning if necessary.
Rubber Track Loader 4. Maintenance Track Tension (PT-70/80) Straight-Edge Proper track tension must be maintained for optimal performance and track/undercarriage life. Running a track that is too loose may cause the track to misfeed possibly causing damage to the track and or undercar- riage components.

(PT-80 only/fig. 4-18, 4-19) 8. Use a pry bar to peel the track over the inner wheel(s) toward the outside of the machine.
Rubber Track Loader 4. Maintenance Track Installation 1. Slide the track over the drive sprocket at the rear of the machine. (fig. 4-23, 4-24) 2. Slide the front of the track into position for installa tion. (fig. 4-25) 3. Lubricate the inner front wheel(s) and the inside of the front portion of the track with a spray lubricant.

Rubber Track Loader 4. Maintenance Air Cleaner The PT 70/80 are equipped with two air filter elements to remove contaminants from the air used for combus- tion. Regular inspection and replacement is necessary to ensure proper performance and to prolong engine life.
Do not use any heat source other than warm air at less than 160°F to dry the filter. Do not clean air filter elements while engine war- ranty is in effect. During the warranty period, ASV recommends replacing air filter elements instead 4-40 of cleaning them.

4. Maintenance Engine Oil/Filter Change Regular oil changes are necessary to maintain a strong running engine. ASV recommends a normal oil change interval of 250 hours or every six months. This recommendation has been made to help ensure proper lubrication during operation and to prolong engine life under typical operating conditions.

If any of the above conditions are present, the problem lies with the machine and should be serviced by an ASV dealer. If the conditions listed above are not pres- ent, the problem lies with the engine and it should be serviced by a Perkins engine repair facility to comply with the conditions of the engine warranty.

Questions and answers
Is the charge pressure adjustable on pt80
Yes, the charge pressure on the ASV PT-80 is adjustable. To adjust it, tilt the cab to access the drive pump, remove the charge relief valve, and add or remove shims to increase or decrease the pressure until it is within the specified range of 475 ± 30 psi.
