Correcting track tension

WARNING

Projectile hazard due to grease escaping under pressure!

Can cause severe injuries or death.

►

Open the lubricating valve only very carefully and do not unscrew it
more than a revolution.

►

Wear protective gloves and safety glasses.

►

Release grease only as described below.

►

Contact a Wacker Neuson service center if this does not reduce track
tension.

NOTICE

Damage to tracks due to overtightening. This causes severe damage to
the hydraulic cylinder and the track.

►

Tighten the tracks only up to the mandatory measuring distance.

Tightening the tracks

1. Park the machine on firm, level and horizontal ground.
2. Raise the machine evenly and horizontally by means of the boom and

the stabilizer blade.

3. Stop the engine.
4. Operate the control lever repeatedly to release the pressure in the

hydraulic system.

5. Pump grease with a grease gun through lubricating valve

6. Lower the machine to the ground.
7. Check the tension is correct by:

- starting the engine,
- letting it run at idling speed without any load
- slowly moving the machine forward and reverse and switching it off again.

8. Check the track tension again.

➥

If it is not correct:

9. Repeat steps 2 – 8. Contact a Wacker Neuson service center if track

tension still is too low after pumping in more grease.
