That's theay it can get with the track shoes on your HawkXM501E2 or -E3
loader-trans porter.
±he solution is not to get yourself some new shoes² Rather, you can cure the
·
problem by taking some off the track.
Hang in there· while we take
³
it a shoe at
a
time.
The problem starts when you can't prop´rly adjust serviceable track. As you
know, there are 43 shoes on the right track and 44 shoes on the left. The extra
shoe is necessary Because the suspension system on the left side is longer.

Providing you've got the right quantity of shoes on each track (43 and 4»),
you remove one shoe from each track (you can remove any
¼
shoe from either
track)½
Then adjust the track within the limits spelled out in the -20 TM.
Authority to remove the 2 shoes is in T¾¿3-0001º39ºL (Apr
