511, 521, 522 and 532 Track Feller Bunchers Caterpillar


Adjustable Gage Undercarriage Frame

Usage:

522 522

------ WARNING! ------

Before extending or retracting the track frames, be sure to keep all other people away from the machine.

Always use two or more people to do this work. Perform machine movements only after getting signals from a signal man.

The automatic engine speed control (AEC) switch must be in the OFF position and the travel speed switch must be in the LOW position.

Never make a sudden movement of the front equipment. When operating the front equipment, slowly activate the controls with extra care.



NOTICE

Before starting adjustment of the track frames, clean the contacting areas of the car body and track frames, and their mounting bolts. Prior to installing the bolts, apply Anti-Seize Compound to the underside of the head and to the threads of the bolts.

The track frame on the 522 and the 532 is adjustable. The overall width of the machine with the track frame that is fully extended is 358 cm (11 ft 9 inch). Completely widen the track frames when the machine is being operated. The overall width of the machine with the track frame that is fully retracted is 330 mm (10 ft 10 inch).

Note: These specifications are for a machine with 710 mm (28 inch) track shoes.

Retracting

Park the machine on a hard, level surface.

Retract the track frames one at a time.

  1. Position the machine with the front at a right angle to the track frame that is being retracted, as shown.

  2. Stop the engine.

  3. Remove ten bolts (4), ten washers (5) and ten spacers (6). Remove two bolts (9), two washers (5), and two spacers (8). The bolts hold track frame (3) to carbody (2).

    Note: When you move track frame (3) in order to retract the overall width, do not loosen four bolts (7) that are for the guide.

  4. Remove shields (11) and (12).

  5. Start the engine. Apply downward pressure with the boom in order to raise the track approximately 51 mm (2 inch) above ground level.

  6. Slowly run the raised track at a low idle. This will cause the raised track to slide toward the center of the machine. The full sliding distance should be 140 mm (5.5 inch).

  7. After the raised track frame has been correctly retracted, lower the track frame to the ground.

  8. Align the bolt holes of carbody (2) and track frame (3). Install two bolts (9), two washers (5) and two spacers (8). Tighten bolts to 800 N·m (590 lb ft) in order to align the track frame. Install ten bolts (4), ten washers (5) and ten spacers (6). Tighten the bolts to a torque of 1600 ± 200 N·m (1180 ± 148 lb ft).

    Note: Store four spacers (6) in the storage compartment for future use.

  9. Repeat Steps 1 through 8 for the other track frame.

  10. Replace shields (11) and (12).

Extending


NOTICE

Damage to the car body guide on the track roller frame can result if the track is raised more than 60 mm (2.4 inch) off the ground, with the car body bolts removed.


Park the machine on a hard, level surface.

Extend the track frames one at a time.

    Note: When you move track frame (3) in order to extend the overall width, do not loosen four bolts (7) that are for the guide.

  3. Position the boom over the opposite track frame with the stick at an approximate 80 degree angle to the ground. Place the felling head into the ground, as shown. This machine position provides the best stability for extending the track frames.

  4. Apply a downward pressure with the boom in order to slightly raise the track.

  5. Use the STICK IN position to extend the track frame by moving the carbody away from the track.

  6. After the track frame has been correctly extended, lower the raised track frame to the ground.

  7. Align the bolt holes of carbody (2) and track frame (3). Install two bolts (9), two washers (5) and two spacers (8). Tighten bolts to 800 N·m (590 lb ft) in order to align the track frame. Install ten bolts (4), ten washers (5) and ten spacers (6). Tighten the bolts to a torque of 1600 ± 200 N·m (1180 ± 148 lb ft).

  8. Repeat Steps 1 through 7 for the other track frame.
