18000 OPERATOR MANUAL SET-UP AND INSTALLATION
19. Fully retract rear jacks.
20. Position jack pads as shown in Figure 4-35
, View B.
21. Swing 180° so mast is over crawler to be removed (View
N).
Swing slowly while watching rear jack pads as they
approach crawler pads. If crawler pads are tight, it
may be necessary to remove jack pads so they don’t
hit crawler pads.
22. Extend rear jacks until jack pads are approximately 2 ft
(0,6 m) off ground.
23. Position jack pads as shown in Figure 4-35
, View A so
they hang freely (parallel with ground). Damage will
occur if this step is not performed.
24. Extend jacks until they are 2-3 in (51-76 mm) from
contacting the ground.
25. Raise mast so assembly block (24, View P) is centered
over crawler.
26. Attach hooks from chain sling (25, View P) to shackles
(26) on crawler — two legs with grab hooks to rear.
27. Position chains between crawler pads as shown in View
P.
28. Hoist and mast up or down as needed so crawler hooks
(19, View Q) disengage carbody pins (20).
If necessary, adjust length of rear chains so crawler lifts
level.
Crawler should be lifted as level as possible — both
front to rear and side to side.
29. Slowly hoist crawler clear of carbody.
30. Place crawler assembly on trailer (View R).
Disconnect chain sling from crawler assembly.
NOTE The crawler connecting pins are shipped in the
retracted position to meet shipping width
requirements.
