WARNING

Track shoe bushing failure can cause track assembly failure and loss of vehicle control. Soldiers

can be killed or injured.

Do not use excessive force that could damage the track shoe bushing while driving in the track

pin during assembly.

WARNING

Track shoe bushing failure due to improper angle of track during pin assembly can cause track

assembly failure and loss of vehicle control. Soldiers can be killed or injured.

Make sure track is assembled with the right amount of angle or lift as shown below. Properly

assembled track will lay flat. Incorrectly assembled track will bulge upward.

CAUTION

Oil or grease will damage the track shoe bushing over time. Do not use oil or grease on track

pin during assembly. Track pins have a coating to protect them from rusting that does not

need to be removed.

angle as shown.

inch socket.

unit maintenance.
