WARNING
Should the rubber track be not tensioned correctly or not tensioned at
all:
x
Braking performance will be diminished
x
The ability to transfer power to the ground will be decreased
x
Serious damage can occur to the rubber track in a short time,
especially damage to the drive lugs.
Should the oil pumped into the circuit cause no pressure variation or
no forward movement of the front tensioning wheels, stop the
procedure and arrange the accumulator to be checked by skilled
personnel.
WARNING
Use only high quality lubricants with the same characteristics shown in
“Lubricant table” section, stored in sealed containers according to
manufacturer specifications.
6.2 Tensioning circuit discharge/purge
The pressure of the system is sensitive to maneuvers, debris accumulation and temperature
variation. This procedure should be followed if track tension pressure is consistently greater than
1000 psi ± 175 psi (70 ± 12 bar) or there is air entrained or trapped in the tensioning system.
1. Remove cap from the tensioning
valve.
2. Loosen set screw
