To prevent possible injury, do the procedure that follows before testing and adjusting the transmission and power train.



NOTICE

Care must be taken to ensure that fluids are contained during performance of inspection, maintenance, testing, adjusting, and repair of the machine. Be prepared to collect the fluid with suitable containers before opening any compartment or disassembling any component containing fluids.

Dispose of all fluids according to local regulations and mandates.


Before you begin the adjustment procedure, refer to Systems Operation, Testing and Adjusting, "Machine Preparation for Troubleshooting".

  4. Remove bolt (3). Remove lock (2).

  5. Attach the wrench for your machine to the appropriate torque wrench.

  6. Turn the tires while you tighten nut (4). Tighten the nut to the adjustment torque that is specified in Table 2.

  7. In order to seat the sprockets, hit the hub of the sprocket with a large punch and hammer.

  8. Repeat Steps 6 and 7 until nut (4) does not turn at the adjustment torque.

  9. Loosen nut (4) by one locking position.

  10. Tighten nut (4) to the final torque that is specified in Table 2.

    Note: The rolling torque that is specified in Disassembly and Assembly, "Final Drives" includes fewer components. The rolling torque is substantially lower. Do not confuse the two values for rolling torque.

  11. If nut (4) is in a locking position, install lock (2) and install bolt (3).

  12. If nut (4) is not in a locking position, tighten nut (4) to the next locking position. With the nut in the locking position, install lock (2), and install bolt (3).
