WARNING
Improper number of track shoes may prevent track from being adjusted correctly, creating a
safety hazard.
For carriers with new track, ensure there are 63 track shoes on the left side of carrier and
64 track shoes on the right side of carrier.
For carriers with old track, ensure there are 62 track shoes on the left side of carrier and
63 track shoes on the right side of carrier.
NOTE
Either drive pin punch or track and sprocket gauge may be used to check track tension. If using
drive pin punch, perform Steps 5 - 6. If using track and sprocket gauge, perform Steps 7 - 8.
5.
To check track tension using drive pin punch, insert drive pin punch between top of number two road wheel and bottom
of track. If drive pin punch can be inserted freely, and track touches top of number three road wheel, track tension is
correct.
6.
If drive pin punch can be inserted freely but track does not touch top of number three road wheel, track tension is too
tight. Loosen track tension (Step 10). If drive pin punch cannot be inserted freely, track tension is too loose. Tighten
track tension (Step 9).
