Rubber track maintenance
Replacement of rubber tracks
The grease contained in the hydraulic track is under pressure.
Never loosen grease valve 1 for more than 1 turn. If the valve is
loosened too much then pressurized grease may exit and cause
severe injury to the machine operator. Never loosen grease
nipple 2. Remove gravel or mud when they are jammed between
the sprocket and the track link before loosening the track.
Removing the rubber track
1. Stop your machine on a solid and level surface. Lift it up and support it in safe
conditions.
2. Remove the screws and take off cover 3 that gives access to the adjustment system.
3. To loosen a track slowly unscrew valve 1 counter-clockwise for no more than 1 turn. One
turn of valve 1 is sufficient for loosening the track.
4. If grease does not start to drain out then slowly rotate the track.
5.
Insert 3 steel tubes (4) inside the track
in the space between the rollers. Rotate the
driving gear in reverse (5) so that the steel
tubes proceed with the track and engage the
track-stretching wheel. Exercise force (6)
sideways to slide the track and lift it off the
track-stretching wheel.
Installing the rubber tracks
1.
Make sure that you are always in safe conditions with the
machine lifted so to perform the operation for track installing.
2.Check that the grease contained in the hydraulic cylinder has
been removed.
