8.13 Maintenance of tracks
Stop the MEWP on a solid and plane ground. Lift
the counter frame and check the tensioning of
crawlers.
Remove gravel or mud stuck between the
gear wheel and the links of the track, before
proceeding with the tensioning.
The grease contained in the hydraulic track
is under pressure. If the tensioning valve is
loosened too much, it risks being expelled
under the effect of the pressure of the
grease, seriously endangering the safety of
the operator.
To tension the track, connect a pneumatic gun to
the grease pump and add grease.
To loosen the track, slowly unscrew the tensioning
valve counterclockwise for no more than one turn. If
the grease does not start to drain, slowly rotate the
track.
