Personal injury or death can result from sudden machine movement. Sudden movement of the machine can cause injury to persons on or near the machine. To prevent injury or death, make sure that the area around the machine is clear of personnel and obstructions before operating the machine. |
Hot hydraulic oil under high pressure can remain in the components of the hydraulic system or the power train system after the engine has been stopped. The uncontrolled release of the hydraulic oil can cause sudden machine movement and can also result in the following conditions:
If hydraulic oil penetrates body tissue, the injury must be treated immediately by a doctor who is familiar with this type of injury. Use a board or a piece of cardboard to check for a hydraulic oil leak. Make sure that all of the attachments have been lowered to the ground and that all trapped pressure has been released from the hydraulic system and the power train system. Also, make sure that the hydraulic oil is cool before the removal of any components or lines. Remove the hydraulic oil filler cap only when the engine is stopped and the filler cap is cool enough to touch with your bare hand. |

(1) Sprocket - Insert track blocks (T1) to the right and left travel motors.
- Stop the engine.
- Release the pressure in the hydraulic system. Refer to Operation and Maintenance Manual, "System Pressure Release".
- Attach vacuum cap (T3) onto the hydraulic tank. Attach an air supply hose onto the assembly. Apply
276 to 414 kPa (40 to 60 psi) . This procedure will pull a vacuum on the hydraulic system.Show/hide tableIllustration 7 g06615686 Flow Meter Tool Layout

(4) Travel motor - Install the following tools in accordance with the flow meter tool layout. Refer to Illustration 7.
- Disconnect case drain hose (2) from connector (3).
- Connect the flow meter assembly (T2) between connector (3) and case drain hose (2).
Note: Correct orientation of the flow meter is necessary. The oil flows from travel motor (4) to case drain hose (2).
- Remove vacuum cap (T3).
- Start the engine.
- Increase the hydraulic oil temperature to
55° ± 5°C (131° ± 9°F) . - Place the machine controls at the following settings: engine speed dial "10".
- Place the hydraulic activation control lever in the UNLOCKED position.
- Move the left travel lever to full FORWARD position and check the flow of oil through the flow meter. Refer to Table 1.
- Remove track block (T1) from sprocket (1).
- Move the left travel lever in order to reposition the travel motor.
- Place track block (T1) in sprocket (1) in order to block forward left travel.
