25. Procedures for Maintenance

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.
