1. Check that the grease contained in the hydraulic cylinder has
been removed.
2. Mesh the track links in the sprocket and place the other end of
the track on the track-stretching wheel.
3. Rotate the driving gear in reverse and pull the track soles inside
the frame.
4. Position the track using a steel tube and turn the driving gear again.
5. Make sure track links mesh correctly in the sprocket and in the
track stretching wheel.
6. Adjust track tension (see track loosening procedures on page 29).
7. Set the tracked undercarriage on the ground.

WARNING
Make sure that you are always in safe conditions with the machine
lifted to perform the operation for track installing.
INSTALLING THE RUBBER TRACKS
Measuring wear on sprocket and driving gear teeth is one of the most difficult measurements to be
done. You must always consider the point where wear is greatest.
There should always be enough tooth left on the sprocket to engage fully with the rubber track. When
the sprocket meshing distance is reduced significantly the sprocket should be changed.
CHECKING SPROCKET WEAR
Remove gravel or mud when they are jammed between the
sprocket and the track link before loosening the 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 the cover that gives access to
the adjustment system (Fig. 1, page 29).
3. To loosen a track slowly unscrew valve counter-clockwise (Fig. 2,
page 29) only as many turns as necessary to release grease,
(maximum of five turns).
4. If grease does not start to drain out then slowly rotate the track
forward and reverse to free adjuster mechanism.
5. Insert three steel tubes inside the track in the space between the rollers.
6. Rotate the driving gear in reverse so that the steel tubes proceed with the track and engage in
the track-stretching wheel.
7. Exercise force sideways to slide the track and lift it off the track-stretching wheel.
REMOVING THE RUBBER TRACKS
WARNING
The grease contained in the tension ram is under pressure. Never loosen the
grease valve for more than 5 turns. If the valve is loosened too much then
pressurized grease may exit and cause injury to the mechanic. Never loosen
the grease nipple.
