Track Adjustment For
Low Sprocket Track-Type
Tractors and Loaders
(except 943, 953, 963 and 973 Loaders)
This track adjustment procedure enables
users to achieve longer undercarriage com-
ponent life.
Grease is under high pressure.
Grease coming out of the relief valve
under pressure can penetrate the body
causing injury or death.
Do not watch the relief valve to see if
grease is escaping. Watch the track or
track adjustment cylinder to see if the
track is being loosened.
1 For proper adjustment, tractor should
be in its working environment.
2 Move the machine forward a distance
of twice its length. Allow the machine
to come to a stop without the use of the
brakes.
3 At track adjustment mechanism, connect
grease gun to fitting. Extend hydraulic
track adjuster until track idler is at
maximum forward position. (Relief
valve should remain closed.)
4 At this point, track should be almost
straight between front carrier roller and
idler. Do not try to squeeze any pack-
ing material from between track parts.
Do not move the tractor back and forth
to tighten the track.
