2. Use the operating devices to lift the body.
Operate the levers slowly.
3. Inspect the gap (A or B) between the
bottom surface of the frame at the center
of the crawler frame and the top surface
of the crawler.
The gap (A or B) should be within the
following range:
(A) Rubber crawler:
160 to 180 mm (6.3 to 7.1 in.)
(B) Steel crawler:
260 to 280 mm (10.2 to 11.0 in.)
(B) Segment rubber crawler:
245 to 265 mm (9.6 to 10.5 in.)
Adjustment
This machine uses a hydraulic cylinder to
adjust the tension of the crawler belts. Note
that it is not necessary to regularly perform
adjustments of the tension of the belt itself.
Inspecting the Crawler Tension
WARNING
If you must work beneath the raised
machine or equipment, always use wood
blocks, jack-stands or other rigid and
stable supports. Never get under the
machine or working equipment if they are
not sufficiently supported. This
procedure is especially important when
working on hydraulic cylinders.
Inspection
1. For rubber crawlers, move the machine
so that the “M” or “
∞
” mark at the coupling
is at the top center of the crawler frame.
