Installing Rubber Track
1. Lower the bucket and blade to raise both tracks off
ground. Place blocks under machine frame to support
the machine.
2. Slowly turn valve (1) counterclockwise to allow
grease to escape from the grease outlet.
3. Engage the rubber track with the sprocket and
position the other end of the rubber track on the front
idler.
4. While rotating the sprocket in reverse, apply
horizontal force to the rubber track to seat it on the
idler.
5. Insert a steel pipe into gaps among lower rollers,
track frame and rubber track and rotate the rubber
track slowly to correctly seat the rubber track on the
idler.
6. Confirm that the rubber track is correctly engaged
with the sprocket and idler.
7. Adjust track sag. (See page 7-51.)
8. After checking that the rubber track is correctly
engaged with the sprocket and idler and the track sag
is correctly adjusted, lower the machine to the
ground.
