Be careful with the high-pressure grease

injected under high pressure. If the tension is
adjusted without following the prescribed
procedure, the grease discharge valve may
fly off, resulting in injury.
• Never loosen the grease fitting.

Do not turn it more than 1.5 turns.
• Do not put your face, arms, legs or body in
front of the grease discharge valve.
• If grease does not come out when the
grease discharge valve is loosened, the
valve is faulty. Ask a Takeuchi service agent
for repair.
Never disassemble the track adjuster
There is a very strong spring contained in the
track adjuster. If the track adjuster is
accidentally disassembled, the spring can
pop out, resulting in serious injury Never
