Checking track tension
Working under the machine with the tracks off the ground and only supported
by the attachment is extremely dangerous.
Caution, danger!
☞ Firmly support the machine with chocks or suitable brackets
Check track tension as follows:
• The rubber track has a mark B as shown in Fig. 108
☞ Position the machine so that mark B of the rubber track is between the drive pinion C
and the track tension roller D
• Standard play between the shoulder of the sliding block and the contact area of the
intermediate support roller of the drive pinion is 20 – 25 mm.
☞ Set the tension as follows if it is not in accordance with the rated value.
