The document provides instructions for separating and reconnecting a track on a 307B Mini Hydraulic Excavator. It describes:
1) Releasing track tension and removing bolts and shoes to separate the track.
2) Positioning a tool under the track and removing the master pin to fully separate the track links.
3) Reconnecting involves installing coupling tools to pull the track back onto the sprocket and rollers, then realigning and installing the master pin.

Start By:
a. Put the machine on a flat, level surface.
Personal injury or death can result from grease and oil coming out of
the relief valve.
Grease and oil are under high pressure coming out of the relief valve
and can penetrate the body.
Do not watch the relief valve to see if grease is escaping. Watch the track
or track adjustment cylinder to see if the track is being loosened.
Make sure the vent holes are clean before the tension is released on the
track.

3. Personal injury can result from the track coming off of the roller frame.
The track can move off the track roller frame very quickly when a
separation of the track is made.
Keep away from the front of the machine when the track is removed
from the track roller frame.
1. Position the master pin in a horizontal line through the center of the drive sprocket.
2. Release the tension on the track assembly. Refer to Operation and Maintenance Manual,
"Track Adjustment - Adjust" for the proper procedure.

3. Use Tooling (B) to remove bolts (1). Remove track shoes (2).
Illustration 2 g01031561
4. Move the track assembly until master pin (3) is in the approximate position, as shown.
Position Tooling (A) under the track grouser, as shown. Move the track onto the tool.

Note: The two track bushings may fall out of the track links when the track assembly is
separated.
5. Remove cotter pin (4) from the master pin. Use a hammer and a punch to remove master pin
(3) from the track links. Separate the track links, and locate the two track bushings. Slowly,
move the machine forward in order to move the track assembly off the sprocket, the track
carrier roller, and the front idler.
6. Attach a suitable lifting device to the track assembly. Raise the track assembly off Tooling
(A). Remove Tooling (A) from the track assembly and lower the track assembly to the floor.
