NOTE: The wear of the pins and bushings on the undercarriage vary with the working conditions and the different types of soil conditions. It is necessary to inspect track tension and maintain the correct tension. See SERVICE SCHEDULE for the correct service interval. (See SERVICE SCHEDULE on Page 10-70-1.)

Steel Track Clearance
Measure the track clearance at the middle track roller. Do not get fingers into pinch points between the track and the track roller. Us a bolt or dowel of the appropriate size to check the gap between the contact edge of the roller and the top edge of the track guide [Figure 30-21-2].
Steel Track Clearance – 17,3 – 30 mm (0.68 – 1.18 in).
