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

    Personal injury or death can result from grease and oil coming out of the relief valve.

    Grease and oil are under high pressure coming out of the relief valve and can penetrate the body.

    Do not watch the relief valve to see if grease is escaping. Watch the track or track adjustment cylinder to see if the track is being loosened.

    Make sure the vent holes are clean before the tension is released on the track.

    ----------------------

  1. Put the machine on a flat level surface.

  1. Release the tension on the track. Loosen the relief valve for one turn only. If the track does not loosen after opening the relief valve, move the machine forward and backward until the tension is released.

    Note: Adjust the height of Tooling (A) so that there is sufficient clearance for the removal of the track rollers.
