LOOSENING TRACK TENSION
WARNING
• It is extremely dangerous to release the grease by any method except the procedure given below. If the
track tension is not relieved by this procedure, please contact your Komatsu Dealer.
1.
Loosen plug (1) gradually to release the grease.
2.
When loosening plug (1), turn it a maximum of one turn.
3.
If the grease does not come out smoothly, move the ma-
chine forwards and backwards a short distance.
4.
Tighten plug (1).
5.
To check if the tension is correct, run the engine at low
idling, move the machine slowly forward (by an amount
equal to the length of track on ground), then stop the ma-
chine.
7.
Check the track tension again, and if the tension is not
correct, adjust it again.
