Track adjustment is powered by hydraulic pressure from the compensating pump and controlled by

electric current tapped at the SPRUNG/UNSPRUNG pressure switch.

In the UNSPRUNG mode, hydraulic

pressure is delivered to the track adjuster manifold from line nine and returned through line seven at the left

manifold.

WARNING

High pressure is present in the M9 hydraulic system.

Do not disconnect any hydraulic

system component unless hydraulic system pressure has been relieved.

Ensure each

hydraulic control lever is moved several times through all positions and hydraulic tank

dipstick is slowly loosened to relieve pressure.

Failure to comply may result in severe

injury or death to personnel.

NOTE

Use these procedures to troubleshoot either left or right track adjusting cylinder. After

reaching required dozer blade height, tracks are tightened for retention.

The

hydraulic valves are equipped with manual operators which can be used to check the

hydraulic portion of the system.

If everything functions by the manual hydraulic

operators, the problem will be in the electric circuit (refer to TM 5-2350-262-20-1).
