required track tension.

refit the protective cover (A) using the screw.

3.3.3 RUBBER TRACK SHOE MAINTENANCE
1. HEIGHT OF LUGS
Rubber track shoes can be used even if they are worn, however,
if excessively worn, they are likely to slip and more engine power
is required. If the remaining lug is 5 mm or less, replace it with a
brand new one.
2. EXPOSURE OF STEEL CORDS
If the steel cords of a rubber track shoe are exposed due to
excessive wear or damage, replace it with a brand new one.
3. BREAKS OF RUBBER TRACK SHOE STEEL CORDS
When a steel cord break is detected, replace the track shoe
immediately. If you leave it as it is and continue working, the
track shoe might break unexpectedly and could cause serious
accidents.
4. CRACKS ON RUBBER COVERING
If a crack is 30 mm or more in length and 8mm or more in depth,
repair the rubber immediately. If steel cord shows, even if the
crack is smaller, repair immediately. Otherwise, water getting into
the crack may rust the steel cords and break the track shoe.
