3-26
If the tension is improper, adjust it as follows:
Adjusting the rubber crawler tension
• To increase the tension
Prepare a grease gun.
1) Remove the cover.
2) Raise the machine using the implement and the safety
blocks. Inject grease through the nipple valve (1) using
a grease gun until the rubber crawler tension has
achieved a clearance (H) that is within the following
range : 0.31 to 0.51 in. (8 to 13 mm).
3) To check that the tension is proper, lower the machine
and move the machine back and forth slightly.
4) Check the rubber crawler tension again. If the tension is
improper, adjust it again.
5) Install the cover.
6) The tension is adjustable until the clearance "a" is re-
duced to 0 in. (0 mm). If the tension is still loose, the rub-
ber crawler may need repairing due to excessive wear.
Contact your dealer and ask for repair.
7) If the tension is loose even after grease injection, it is
necessary to replace either the rubber crawler or the
grease adjuster. Contact your dealer for assistance.
