Adjusting Tread Slack
Adjust the tread slack at the roller end of each crawler
(Figure 8-3
):
1. Thoroughly clean the crawler to be adjusted.
2. Loosen the bolt on each side of the crawler roller.
3. Remove the cover from both sides of the crawler frame.
4. Place the jacking cylinder on the support.
5. Jack against the rod an equal amount on both sides of
the crawler frame.
6. Add or remove an equal thickness of shims on both
sides of the crawler frame.
7. Remove the jacking cylinder.
8. Travel forward or reverse to tighten the shims.
9. Make sure the dimension from the center punch in the
shaft to the center punch line in the crawler frame is the
same on both sides of the crawler within 3 mm (1/8 in).
10. Check for proper adjustment (see the Adjustment
Guideline) and readjust as required using steps 4
through 9.
11. Lubricate the nuts and bolts at the crawler roller with
Never-Seez or an equivalent anti-seize compound.
12. Tighten the nuts to the bolts at the crawler roller to 2 712
Nm (2,000 ft-lb).
13. Install the cover on both sides of the crawler frame.
NOTE: The extreme limit of tread adjustment occurs when
the bolts are tight against the front end of the slots
in the crawler frame. One crawler tread can be
removed when this limit is reached.
CAUTION
Part Wear!
The crawler roller and tumbler must be square with the
crawler frame within 3 mm (1/8 in) or the parts will wear
rapidly.
