standard track width (990 mm) unless you pass
through narrow places on a flat surface.


Pull out the lock pin (1) and remove the dozer extension (2).

Attach the dozer extension as shown in the figure, fit in the
lock pin.

Use the same procedure for the other side (left or right) as
well as for the adjustment of the track width from narrow to
standard.
