TB 9-2350-369-20-1 MODIFICATION PROCEDURES/SEQUENCING (continued) 0002 00 ASSEMBLY - Continued e. Install T150F Track Assembly on vehicle (Figure 4 through Figure 8). WARNING Improper number of track shoes may prevent track from being adjusted correctly, creating a safety hazard. Personnel may be killed and equipment damaged. For carriers with new track, ensure there are 63 track shoes on the left side of carrier and 64 track shoes on the right side of carrier for the M113A2 FOV, M113A3 FOV and OSV. For the M548A1/A3, 66 track shoes are required for both sides. CAUTION Be sure track shoe orientation matches that of the adjacent shoe. Center guides can not be next to each other. NOTE Track assembly can be installed from front to back or back to front. Going from the back to front can be easier with the sprocket wheel assembly to help push the track assembly over the top of the road wheels. Joining the track together will be between the sprocket wheel assembly and first road wheel or idler wheels and last road wheel. If connecting the track at rear of vehicle (M113A2 FOV and M113A3 FOV only), have ramp closed and secured (see your -10) to allow access under the vehicle. (1) Position track assembly with proper number of shoes in a line in front or rear of vehicle. Align track guides of track assembly between first pair of road wheels. If track shoes came in sections of five or eight track shoes, connect 63 track shoes together for the left of the carrier (all except M548A1/M548A3) and 64 track shoes for the right side of the carrier (all except M548A1/M548A3). For the M548A1/M548A3, make sure you have 66 track shoes for both left and right. (2) Remove two end connectors from track shoes, to be joined together.. Figure 4.
