INSPECTION AND ADJUSTING

q
Adjust the track shoe to the proper tension.
When adjusting the tension, measure clearance A between
the idler and carrier roller in the diagram on the right. The
normal clearance is 20 to 30 mm, but on bedrock, set the
tension slightly higher, and on viscous ground, set it slightly
looser.
(Inspect and adjust the track tension. For details of the
method of inspection and maintenance for the track ten-
sion, see “WHEN REQUIRED (4-21)“.
q
Check idler rollers for oil leakage as well as for loose bolts
and nuts. If any trouble is detected, repair immediately.
q
Check clearance B between the idler guide plate and track
frame. If clearance B becomes larger, the idler will move to
the side and cause the track shoe to come off. For details
of the method of inspection and maintenance, see
“ADJUST IDLER CLEARANCE (4-36)“.
