Track Maintenance
n Track Alignment
Periodically check that the track is centered and running evenly on the
slide rails. Misalignment will cause excessive wear to the track and slide
rail.
1. Safely support the rear of the machine with the track off the ground.
2. Start the engine and apply a small amount of throttle until the track
turns slowly at least five complete revolutions. Stop the engine and
let the track come to a stop (do not apply brakes).
3. Inspect track alignment by
looking through the track
window to make sure the
rails ( ) are evenly spaced
on each side. If the track
runs to the left, loosen the
idler shaft bolts, then
loosen the left locknut and
tighten the left adjusting
bolt. If the track runs to the
right, loosen the idler shaft
bolts, then loosen the right
locknut and tighten the
right adjusting bolt.
4. After adjustments are com-
plete, tighten the locknuts
and torque idler shaft bolts
to 35 ft. lbs. (47.5 Nm).
5. Repeat steps 2 and 3 to verify proper alignment.
