Servicing the Tracks
Service Interval: After the first 50 hours—Check and
adjust the track tension.
Before each use or daily—Clean the tracks.
Before each use or daily—Check the tracks for
excessive wear (If the tracks are worn, replace
them).
Every 100 hours—Check and adjust the track
tension.
Every 250 hours/Yearly (whichever comes
first)—Check and grease the road wheels.
Cleaning the Tracks
1.
Park the machine on a level surface and engage
the parking brake.
2.
With the bucket installed and pointing down,
lower it into the ground so that the front of the
traction unit lifts off the ground a few centimeters
(inches).
3.
Shut off the engine and remove the key.
4.
Using a water hose or pressure washer, remove
dirt from each track system.
Important:
Ensure that you use high-pressure
water to wash only the track area. Do not use
a high-pressure washer to clean the rest of the
machine. Do not use high pressure water between
the drive sprocket and the machine or you may
damage the motor seals. High-pressure washing
can damage the electrical system and hydraulic
valves or deplete grease.
Important:
Ensure that you fully clean the road
wheels, the tension wheel, and the drive sprocket
(Figure
47). The road wheels should rotate freely
when clean.
