THROWER 5H5844 - Caterpillar

1. Remove cover (1).
The adjuster cylinder for the track is under high hydraulic pressure. Do not visually inspect the relief valve to see if grease is released when it is open. Look to see that the track has loosened. Use this warning any time the tracks are loosened or tightened.
2. Loosen the track as follows:a. Turn relief valve (2) one turn counterclockwise to permit grease to be released from the vent hole below the relief valve. If the track does not loosen, go to Step b.b. Turn fill valve (3) one turn counterclockwise to permit grease to be released from the vent hole below the fill valve. If the track still does not loosen, start the machine and move it forward and backward. If grease is still not released, go to Step c.c. Install a slug that is 76.2 mm (3 in.) in diameter and 63.5 mm (2.5 in.) long between the track and sprocket segment. Move the machine to the rear so the track will be pushed up by the bar. This will put tension on the track and move the front idler and track adjuster to the rear against the force of the recoil spring. This will push grease out of the vent holes. 3. Install tool (A). Make sure the end of the hydraulic jack is in contact with the flat part of the grouser shoe.4. Lift the track with tool (A) until it is off of the carrier roller.5. Remove two bolts and lockwashers (4). Remove carrier roller (5). Weight is 16 kg (35 lb.). The following steps are for installation of track carrier rollers. 6. Put track (5) in position on the bracket with the dowels in alignment with holes (6). Weight is 16 kg (35 lb.). Install the two lockwashers and bolts that hold it in position.7. Remove tool (A).8. Make an adjustment to the track. See the topic, Track Adjustment.9. Install cover (1) over the hydraulic track adjuster.Disassemble Track Carrier Rollers
