6. Position jack pads as shown in Figure 4-35, View B.
7. Swing upperworks so rotating bed is perpendicular to
carbody and rear jacks are next to crawler to be
removed (View G).
Swing slowly while watching rear jack pads as they
approach crawler pads. If crawler pads are tight, it
may be necessary to remove jack pads so they don’t
hit crawler pads.
8. Extend rear jacks until jack pads are approximately 2 ft
(0,6 m) off the ground.
9. Position jack pads as shown in Figure 4-35
, View A so
they hang freely (parallel with ground). Damage will
occur if this step is not performed.
10. Extend jacks until they are snug against ground.
11. Disengage crawler connecting pins (13, View F) using
controls on front of carbody (View M).
12. Extend jacks until crawler is approximately 18 in (457
mm) off ground.
13. Place hardwood blocking under crawler pads as shown
in Views H and J.
14. Retract jacks just enough to break connection between
crawler alignment lugs and carbody frame as shown in
View K.
Do not disengage crawler hook (19, View K) from
carbody pin (20).
15. Adjust jacks so carbody is level front to rear.
16. Place carbody pedestals (21, View L) under carbody
support pads (22). The pedestals can be lifted with a
fork-lift truck.
17. Adjust pedestal screws (23, View L) so they are snug
against support pads (22).
18. Retract rotating bed jacks to lower carbody onto
