1.2 Points of maintenance
Chain tension (1)
m
If the chains are not tensioned sufficient-
ly, they can slip out of their guide formed
by rollers, drive gear and idler wheel,
thereby increasing wear levels.
m
If the chains are tensioned too tightly, this increases wear on the idler wheel and drive
unit mounting, and also increases wear on track bolts and bushes.
Checking / adjusting chain tension
- The chain tension is adjusted with
grease tensioners. The filling ports (A)
are located on the RH and LH sides of
the drive unit frame.
