MAINTENANCE
Every 50 Hours
Inspecting and Adjusting
the
Track Tension
AwARNING
• If you
must
work
beneath the raised
machine
or
equipment, always use
wood
blocks, jack-stands
or
other rigid
and stable supports. Never
get
under
the machine
or
working equipment
if
they are
not
sufficiently supported.
This procedure is especially important
when working on hydraulic cylinders.
• The
track
adjuster contains highly
pressurized grease.
If
the tension
is adjusted
without
following the
prescribed procedure, the grease
discharge valve may
fly
off, resulting in
injury.
• Loosen the grease discharge valve
slowly.
• Do
not
put
your face, arms, legs
or
body in
front
of
the grease discharge
valve.
• If no grease is expelled when the
grease discharge valve is loosened,
there is a problem. Contact
your
Takeuchi dealer
for
repairs.
DO
NOT
disassemble, because this is very
dangerous.
