Torque Values 00 03 Checking Track Shoe Cap Screw Torque 2 Track shoe cap screw torque should be periodically checked. If the cap screws do not meet the minimum torque specifications of 380 N.m (280 lb-ft), remove the shoes and clean the mating surfaces of the shoes and links before tightening the cap screws. T82862 –UN–08NOV88 If machine is operated with loose track shoes, the cap screw holes in the shoes and links will wear and it may be difficult to keep the track shoes tight. Loose shoes can also cause hardware failure and loss of track shoes. Install all track shoe nuts with rounded edges (A) against the link and chamfered edges (B) away from the link.
Be sure nut is properly positioned in the link so there is full contact area between the nut and the link.
