CRAWLER ADJUSTMENT
Maintenance
Crawler wear cannot be eliminated, but the rate of wear can
be reduced through regular preventive maintenance, as
follows:
• Lubricate crawlers as instructed in Lubrication, Section 9
of this manual.
• Keep crawlers clean and avoid dirt build-up when
cutting.
• Keep all mounting bolts tight (see Parts Manual for
applicable torque values).
• Keep treads properly adjusted.
• Inspect crawler gear cases, crawler frames, rollers,
treads, and drive shafts on a regular basis.
Look for oil leaks, excessive wear, cracks, and other
damage. Broken or cracked parts can indicate that the
treads are adjusted too tight.
Repair or replace damaged parts immediately to prevent
further damage.
