Servicing the Tracks

Service Interval: Before each use or daily—Check
the condition of the track.
After the first 10 hours—Check and adjust the
track tension (every 10 hours until 50 hours).
Every 50 hours—Check and adjust the track
tension.
Every 300 hours—Check the road wheels.
Cleaning the Tracks
1. Park the machine on a level surface, move
the motion-control levers to the N
position, engage the parking brake, and lower
the hopper.
2. Shut off the engine, and remove the key. Allow
the engine to cool.
3. Lift/support the side of the machine to be worked
on so that the track is 3 to 4 inches (7.6 to 10
cm) off the ground.
4. 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
machine. Do not use high pressure water between
the drive sprocket and the machine 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 front wheel, and the drive sprocket
(Figure 35). The road wheels should rotate freely
when clean.

rear edge of the tension nut, the other end of the
tensioning tool should align with the edge of the
tension arm as shown in
not correct, adjust the track tension using the following
procedure:
Note:
If the tensioning tool is not available, the
distance between the nut and edge of the tension arm
should be 7.1 cm (2-13/16 inch).

3. Clean the tracks with high-pressure water.
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 machine. Do not
use high pressure water between the drive
sprocket and the machine or you may
damage the motor seals. High-pressure
washing can damage the electrical system
and hydraulic valves or deplete grease.
