Measuring Track Tension
1. Observe all Safety Warnings.
2. Position the plant on solid and level ground and
drive 2 metres (2 yards) minimum in a forward
direction, track idler roller leading.
4. One track at a time, measure the sag on the
top part of the track on the longest section of
unsupported track by placing a ‘straight edge’
long enough to reach from the drive sprocket to
the nearest skid plate.
5. Measure the maximum amount of track sag
from the high point of the track to the bottom
of the ‘straight edge’. Correctly adjusted, the
sag should be approximately 15mm (0.63in) but
must not be less that 5mm (0.2in).
6. Depending upon the need to either slacken or
tension the track, proceed as follows.
3. Close down the plant and implement the
Lockout Procedure.

result in injury to persons and damage to
