OPERATION & MAINTENANCE MANUAL SWE50E/SWE60E/SWE70E/SWE80E9/SWE100
4.5.3.4 Check track tension
Run engine at low idling, move the
machine forward a distance equals to
the length of track on ground. Then stop
the machine.
As shown in right fig, choose a straight
long rod; place it on track over idler (1)
and carrier roller (2), measure the max
distance “A” between upper surface of
track and bottom surface of the rod.
Standard deflection “A” should be
20-28 mm (0.8-1.1 in).
If the track tension is not at standard
value, adjust it in the following manner:
1) Pump in grease through grease
fitting(2) with a grease pump.(pump
fitting (2) and plug screw (1) are
integral)
2) To check track to evaluate the proper
tension of track. Gradually move
machine forward(7-8 m(23 ft - 26 ft
3 in).
3) Recheck track tension, if the tension is
improper, re-adjust it.
Warning
There is a hazard that plug screw may
fly out under high lubrication grease
pressure. Never loosen plug (1) by
over one turn. (1).
Do not loosen any parts other than plug
screw (1). Do not attempt installation
facing plug screw (1).
