2.4.3 Removing the Track Belt
• To remove the track belt first ensure the machine is in a safe flat working area on solid
ground.
• Lift up the machine and support it with the tracks safely off the ground.
• Remove the idler tensioner cover plate and loosen the tensioner valve no more than 1 turn
counterclockwise.
• If the grease does not start to drain out then slowly rotating the track can help.
• Insert steel tubes as shown and slowly rotate the track in reverse. This draws the tubes
between the idler and the belt and de-tensions the track.
• Slide the belt off at the idler end using the tubes to help if required, then remove the belt
from the sprocket end.
The above procedure involves heavy components, use appropriate lifting equipment
to prevent injury to operators and bystanders.
