- Put the machine on a flat level floor.
- Release the tension on the track assembly. Loosen relief valve (1) for the track adjuster only one turn. If the track assembly does not loosen after opening the relief valve, move the machine forward and backward until the tension is released.
 |
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. |

Note: To provide additional clearance for removal of the master pin, the track shoe on each side of the master pin can be removed. Use Tool (B) to remove the track shoe mounting bolts.
- Remove cotter pin (3) from the master pin. Use a hammer and punch to remove master pin (2) from the track links. Separate the track links, and locate the two track bushings. Move the machine slowly forward to move the track assembly off of the sprocket, track carrier rollers and front idler.

Personal injury can result from the track coming off of the roller frame. The track can move off the track roller frame very quickly when a separation of the track is made. Keep away from the front of the machine when the track is removed from the track roller frame. |
|
Note: The track bushings will fall out of the track links when the track assembly is separated.
- Fasten a hoist to the rear of the track assembly. Raise the track assembly off of Tool (A), and remove the tool from under the track assembly. Lower the rear of the track assembly to the floor.
