(2) Adjustment procedure
1) To increase track shoe tension
Use a high-pressure grease pump to inject grease into the
adjuster cylinder through the grease nipple in the adjustment
window on the outside front of the lower structure.
2) To reduce track shoe tension
Unscrew the grease drain plug of the adjustment window by
turning it to the left. Grease will escape under its own pressure,
increasing slack on the track shoe. After adjustment, screw the
drain plug in.

・
If you loosen the plug too much, it could fly under the high pressure of the grease inside. Do
not unscrew the plug by more than one turn.
・
Do not face towards the plug as you fit it.
・
If the track shoe did not loosen, order a repair from your authorised KATO dealer.

(3) To check whether the track shoe tension is correct, travel the machine forward and backward and then re-inspect
the track link tension.
When dimension A falls below the limit of use, the length of adjuster cylinder rod remaining
inside the cylinder becomes too short, risking damage to the seal of the adjuster cylinder.
