Replace TracksReplace Tracks
Tracks may need to be replaced due to wear or
damage. You will need an assistant for this procedure:
1. Raise conveyor bed and insert safety prop. (Page
5-5)
2. Locate the track tension manifold on the left side of
the paver and turn the relief cartridge about three
turns until you hear the tension pressure release.
(Page 5-48)
3. Remove the master pin from the track.
4. Drive out the pin.
5. Put the paver in reverse and back up slowly until
clear of the track. Discard track.
6. Place new track in front of the paver, positioning
the end of track with the three (3) hinges at the front
idler.
7. Drive paver forward onto the new track until it is
aligned at rear of the track drive tires.
8. Using a 4’ x 11/16” rod with a two-inch leg on one
end and a handle on the opposite end, the assistant
should hook rod onto the outer hinge of the track
on the rear side, pulling on rod while the operator
slowly moves paver forward.
9. The assistant can now hook rod at front of the track,
pulling it on at the front of idler as the operator
slowly moves in reverse until the track connects
over top of the front idler.
10. Reconnect master pin.
11. Screw track tension manifold relief cartridge back
into place and check hydraulic oil level. Add more if
needed.
