Track; Assembly/Disassembly Of The Rubber Track - Kubota KX080-4 Workshop Manual

KX080-4, WSM

[2] TRACK

WARNING
• The backhoe is equipped with an overload warning system.
When changing the rubber track to an iron track, or vice versa, it is necessary to change the preset code
in either case.
If the preset code is not set correctly, the overload warning will fail to work correctly, which presents the
risk of serious injury or death.
After making the setting, always make sure the overload warning is working correctly as per the overload
warning test procedure.
(Refer to the electrical part of the Overload Warning System section.)
CAUTION
• As the grease cylinder is under high pressure, loosening the grease nipple all at once may cause the
nipple to go flying and/or grease to spray out.
• Do not get your face or any body part right in front of the nipple while loosening it and loosen the nipple
gradually.
