Follow Steps 15.a through 15.f to install the guard.
Install flexible guard (N) onto upper rigid guard (M).Note: The flexible guard has two cutouts on one end. Fasten flexible guard (N) to upper rigid guard (M) on the end that is opposite the cutouts.
Install flexible guard (N) and upper rigid guard (M) over the hydraulic press.
Install hydraulic hoses (B) through the cutouts in flexible guard (N).
Connect hydraulic hoses (B) to hydraulic press (A).
Complete the installation of flexible guard (N) to upper rigid guard (M).
Install track bolts (V). Install track nuts (W).

Connect hose assembly (B) to hydraulic pump (T). Make sure that all connections are clean and tight.
Make sure that valves (GG) are in the open position.
Turn on hydraulic pump (T). The track link will be pulled onto the ends of the cartridge pins. Watch carefully to ensure that the track link is pulled evenly. When the track link is in place, plate (H) will contact the end of the cartridge pins. The gauge on the pump will indicate a sharp rise in pressure.Note: The track link must be pulled evenly onto the ends of the cartridge pins. Turn off the pump if one end of the track link is offset more than 6.0 mm (0.24 inch) from the other end of the track link. If one side of the track link has been installed farther, close the valve on the same side. Restart the pump. When the track link is straight, turn off the pump. Open both valves (GG). Continue the process.Note: If the cylinders have been retracted during the installation process, inspect the main service tool. Verify that the main service tool is in proper alignment with the cartridge pins. If the main service tool is not in proper alignment, retract the hydraulic cylinders completely. Set up the main service tool properly. If necessary, install pins (D). Tighten nuts (F). If the main service tool is allowed to get out of alignment with the cartridge pins, the hydraulic cylinders will not apply the force correctly. The track link may not be installed correctly. The tooling may become damaged during the misalignment.
Turn off the hydraulic pump when the track link is in place. Allow the oil to return to the reservoir. Springs will force the hydraulic cylinders of the main service tool to return to the start position.

Remove track nuts (W). Remove track bolts (V).
Remove a portion of flexible guard (N) from upper rigid guard (M). Disconnect hydraulic hoses (B) from hydraulic press (A).
Remove flexible guard (N) and upper rigid guard (M) from the tooling.

Install the hydraulic press (A) so that the press is firmly seated on the track. This will reduce the load on guide bolts (C). Reinstall pins (D) for added support.
Remove four nuts (F). Remove block (K).
Remove four threaded rods (E) and plate (H).
Remove bolts (C).
Remove hydraulic press (A). Remove starter link (G). Do not remove yoke (L).
