You must read and understand the warnings and instructions contained in the Safety section of this manual before performing any operation or maintenance procedures.Track Pins
Inspect
Fingers can be burned from hot pins and bushings. The pins and bushings in a dry joint can become very hot. It is possible to burn the fingers if there is more than brief contact with these components.
Follow these hints to extend the undercarriage life and to avoid excessive downtime. 1. Listen for track squeak or squeal during machine operation. This can indicate a dry joint.2. Check for dry joints once a week, immediately after machine operation. After machine operation, lightly touch the end of each track pin or bushing, with the back of your hand. Make a mark on any joint that is very hot to the touch.3. Do not hit the ends of the track pins with a sledge hammer to loosen the track joints.
Striking the end of a track pin introduces a significant amount of end play into the track joint and can result in early failures.
Consult your Caterpillar dealer's Custom Track Service expert upon detection of dry joints or leaks and/or for track inspection.Ripper Linkage and Cylinder Bearings
