WARNING
The work involves handling heavy components - failure to stay alert may result in severe crushing
injuries.
NOTE!
Pay attention to the assembly direction of the track shoe and track chain. If the assembly direction is reverse,
the track bushing wear is caused easily.
1. Place the machine in the service position F, on a level surface with adequate space for rolling out the
tracks. See Service positions
2. Raise the undercarriage to barely take the machine weight off the track using the equipment.
3. While an assistant operates the machine, insert a bar into the master pin bore located at the track end,
and help the track engage the drive sprocket tooth. Guide the track until the master pin bore is close to
the idler.
4. Run the track slowly and place a wood block (W) onto the track frame as shown.
