Introduction
Service Manual
This service manual was prepared with the latest service information available at the time of publication. Read the
service manual carefully before doing any service on the undercarriage(s).
The photos, illustrations, and data used in this manual were current at the time of printing, but due to possible
production change, your undercarriage can vary slightly. Camso reserves the right make changes to new
production undercarriages as necessary without notification.
WARNING: Some pictures in this manual show the undercarriage with shields removed or
undercarriage removed from the cart or frame to allow for a better view of the subject of the picture.
Important Safety Information
Read and understand this manual, the undercarriage operator's manual, the operation manual for the equipment
the undercarriage is mounted to, and the manual for all attachments before operating, servicing or repairing an
undercarriage.
Most personal injuries occurring during equipment operation, maintenance, or repair are caused by failure to
observe basic safety rules and precautions. In most cases, an injury can be avoided by recognizing hazardous
situations before an injury occurs.
A person must be alert to potential hazards. This person should also have the necessary training, skills and tools to
perform these functions properly.
Improper operation, lubrication, maintenance or repair of this product can be hazardous and could result in injury or
death.
Do not operate or perform any lubrication, maintenance or repair on this product, until you have read and
understood this service manual.
Safety precautions and warnings are provided in this manual and on the product. If these hazard warnings are not
heeded, bodily injury or death could occur to you or to other persons.
Not every possible circumstance that might involve a potential hazard can be anticipated. The warnings in this
publication and on the product are, therefore, not all inclusive. If a tool, procedure, work method or operating
technique that is not specifically recommended by Camso is used, you must satisfy yourself that it is safe for you
and for others.
You must also make sure that the product will not be damaged or be made unsafe by the operation, lubrication,
maintenance or repair procedures that you choose. The information, specifications, and illustrations in this
publication are on the basis of information that was available at the time that this publication was written.
The specifications, torques, pressures, measurements, adjustments, illustrations, and other items can change at
any time. These changes can affect the service that is given to the product. Obtain the complete and most current
information before you start any job. Camso dealers have the most current information available.
Drain all fluids into a suitable container.
Discard any drained fluids and discard any saturated materials according to local regulations.
Use all cleaning solutions with care.
Know the width of your equipment to maintain proper clearance when you operate the equipment near obstacles.
WARNING: When replacement parts are required for this product Camso recommends using
Camso replacement parts. Failure to heed this warning can lead to premature failures, product
damage, personal injury or death.

Rubber Track Terminology
Camso tracks are constructed using a combination of natural and synthetic rubber in combination with steel
reinforcing plies and a continuous wound main cable. The main cable gives the track tension strength, while at the
same time maintaining lateral flexibility. The bias and the reinforcement plies protect the main cable, provide good
internal track alignment, and further increase lateral stiffness to better distribute loads across the track width.
The treadbars are molded into
specific shapes.
To discuss tracks, wear
characteristics, and track issues
better, certain terms must be
defined as they are frequently
referenced throughout the
document. The illustration
shows some of the basic
terminology used when referring
to track construction:

Basic Rules for Maximizing Track Life
The basic rules in maximizing track life are:
• Follow the correct break-in procedures
• Maintain the proper track alignment
• Know ways to maximize the treadbar life
• Use the correct operational techniques
1. New Track Break-in
Tracks (specifically the drive lugs) will benefit greatly from the correct break-in procedures. The correct break-in
can help reduce the initial amount of guide lug and midroller wear. During the break-in period, the track
components undergo a polishing-in process. New rubber surfaces benefit from contact with the dry soil in order to
facilitate smooth break-in and minimize guide lug scuffing. Tracks should be operated in dry soil as soon as
possible. A significant amount of operation, especially roading, before introduction into the soil should be avoided.
Rule #1 - You must always break-in a new set of tracks, if possible, in dry and dusty conditions.
Rule #2 - Always avoid extended roading at high speeds with a new set of tracks during the break-in period, or
guide lug and wheel edge damage could result.
2. Track Alignment
The Conversion Track System is designed without a track alignment adjustment. The tracks will align themselves
and there is no need to adjust the alignment.

Undercarriage Removal And Installation
Refer to the Installation Instruction Manual specific to your machine and model. Installation Instruction Manuals are
available electronically and in paper form. Paper versions can be requested from Camso Product Support at +39
03 07281503 (Europe) or 317-671-7327 (North America and other countries) or by e-mail at
ag.pr[email protected]. Electric versions are at www.camso.co under Agricultural Products and Parts
And Service.
NOTE: Many illustrations in this service manual are of the 24D18C model track system. The size and look of the
24D18C track system is different from the 30/36D23MC and 30/36D22MC models. The disassembly and assembly
procedures are the same except where a NOTE has been added to indicate differences between models.
