    Typical Example

  1. Attach two suitable lifting devices to track (1). The weight of track (1) is approximately 85 kg (189 lb). Use the suitable lifting devices in order to position track (1) to the machine.

  2. Place suitable cribbing beneath track (1) in order to provide additional support. Remove the suitable lifting devices and finish positioning track (1) to the machine.

    Note: Apply a soap and water solution to the surface of the front idler wheel and on the inside of track (1) in the front. This will help in positioning track (1).

    NOTICE

    Do not overtighten the tracks. Tracks that are too tight can cause premature failure of the tracks. Tracks that are too tight can cause power loss and bearing failures.


  6. Place a 45 kg (100 lb) weight on the track between the drive sprocket and the idlers. Measure the track sag between the bottom of the straight edge and the top of the track. Turn tensioner (3) in order to tighten the track. The track sag should be set at 12 mm (0.48 inch).

  7. Tighten jam nut (2) to a torque of 270 ± 40 N·m (200 ± 30 lb ft).
