Track Tension Adjustment
IMPORTANT! Loose tracks can more easily de-track; however
do not over-tighten. Over-tightening will damage the tracks,
increase bearing wear and damage drive components.
Jack one side of the machine up at a time using the procedure outlined on
page 42.
A grease filled hydraulic cylinder is used to tension the tracks of the
SlopePro
®
. The tensioner cylinder is located within the track frame, the
service connections are accessible behind a cover on the outside of the
track frame (as shown). Track tension is set using a standard grease gun
equipped with a pressure gauge (supplied with the machine).
There are (2) connections on each cylinder. One is a high pressure grease
zerk fitting for pressurizing the cylinder to set track tension (the fitting
toward the rear of the machine). The other connection is a bleeder screw
used to relieve the pressure in the tensioner cylinder (the fitting toward the
front of the machine). A wrench is supplied for the bleeder screw which will
direct the removed grease to a suitable receptacle.
Setting Track Tension
1. Remove access cover from track frame to gain access to service
connections.
2. Wipe any grease or dirt away from the grease zerk (rear
connection).
3. Connect grease gun to zerk fitting and
pump grease until
pressure gauge reads 1200-1500 psi
.
4. Remove grease gun from zerk fitting and clean any residual
grease from the machine.
5. Reinstall access cover on the track frame.
Relieving Track Tension
1. Remove access cover from track frame to gain access to service
connections.
2. Wipe any grease or dirt away from the bleeder screw (front
connection).
3. Insert supplied wrench on to the bleeder screw and turn counter-
clockwise. Place a cup or other suitable receptacle under the
handle of the wrench. The grease purged from the cylinder will
flow through the wrench handle and into the receptacle.
4. When the tension is relieved sufficiently for the required service,
tighten the bleeder screw with the wrench and clean any remaining
grease from the machine.
5. Reinstall access cover on the track frame.
Also check roller condition. Look for bearing wear or looseness.
Note:
Refer to a qualified service technician if the track must be removed.
