How to replace the crawling tracks
The grease contained in the hydraulic crawling track is pressurised.
Do not loosen the valve by more than one turn; if the valve is loosened
too much, it may be blown off due to the pressure of the grease.
•
Widen the span of the crawling tracks.
•
Complete the following operation to loosen up the crawling track due for replacement:
-
Slowly open the valve in the anticlockwise direction, not more than half a turn, to drain
the grease. If the grease does not come out turn the crawling track slightly.
•
Take the crawling track out.
•
Before fixing a new crawling track, make sure that the direction of the drive is correct.
•
Match the track links with the toothed wheel and then place the track of the tension wheel.
•
Rotate the driving wheel in the reverse gear.
•
Make sure that the links of the crawling track are correctly matched with the toothed wheel and the
tension wheel.
•
Adjust the tension of the crawling track.
Perform the operations with the machine stabilised.
Never loosen the greaser.
