Remove First Crawler
See Figure 4-14 for the following procedure.
Perform steps 1 through 4 at both crawlers.
1. Disconnect hydraulic hoses (Figure 4-12
) between
carbody and crawler:
• Connect hose (11, View A) to coupler (12a).
• Connect hose (12, View B) to coupler (11a).
• Attach dust cap to end of hose (13, View B) and to
coupler (13a). Secure hose to carbody for shipping.
2. Disconnect grease hose (14, Figure 4-12
, View C)
between carbody and crawler.

c. Retract crawler drive shaft and place on storage
bracket (5, View B).
4. Attach chains (1, Figure 4-14
, View F) between crawler
pads (2) and crawler lugs (3) (four places). Chains

to deploy each
carbody jack.
6. Using controls on front of carbody, extend carbody jacks
until crawler treads are just clear of ground.

8. Attach hooks from chain sling (Figure 4-14
, View E) to
crawler as shown in Figure 4-11
.
9. Tilt operator’s cab up, as required, so crawler does not
hit cab.

, View D) and retract
crawler connecting pins (2) with crawler pins control (4
or 5, View G).
11. Slowly hoist and boom up or down as required to lift

12. Position trailer under suspended crawler.
13. Lower crawler onto trailer.
14. Disconnect chains from crawler and remove trailer.
15. Engage crawler pins and install collars (3, Figure 4-13
,
View D).
Remove Second Crawler
