7.11.4 CHANGING THE RUBBER TRACKS
The grease contained in the hydraulic track is pressurised. For this reason, do not loosen
grease nipple 1 more than 1 turn; if the nipple is loosened excessively, it may be expelled due

Never loosen grease nipple 2.
When gravel or mud is stuck between the sprocket and the track links, remove it before loo‑
sening.
Removing the rubber track
1. Stop the machine on solid and level ground, lift it and support it in safe conditions, using
the stabilisers.
2. Remove the screws and the adjusting mechanism access cover 3.
3. To loosen the track, slowly unscrew valve 1 anticlockwise giving no more than one turn.
One turn of valve 1 is sufficient to loosen the track.
4. If the grease does not start to come out, turn the track slowly.
5. Insert 3 steel pipes (4) inside the track in the space
between the rollers. Turn the sprocket backwards (5) so

idler roller. Force laterally (6) to make the track slide
