Grease pump
1.
Pump in grease through grease fitting (2) by using a grease pump.
Grease fitting (2) forms one part with plug (1).
2.
To check if the tension is correct, run the engine at low
idle, move the machine slowly forward (by an amount
equal to the length of track on ground), then stop the ma-
chine.
3.
Check the track tension again, and if the tension is not cor-
rect, adjust it again.
4.
Grease can be pumped in until dimension (S) becomes
0 mm. If the track tension is still loose, the pins and bush-
ings are excessively worn. The pins and bushings must be
inverted or replaced. Ask your Komatsu distributor for re-
pair.

face in the mounting direction of plug (1).
