Tightening of the tracks
It is important that the tracks of the machine are correctly tightened. Too slack tracks might
result in the tracks coming off when the machine is running on slopes. If the tracks are too tight,
this will cause an increased wearing of the oil motor and bearings.
Measuring if the tracks are correctly tightened is carried out with a measuring tape placed at the
middle carrying roller, where the value 210 mm is read. Then press on top of the track right
above the middle track roller and read the value on the measuring tape. With a correctly
tightened track the value is then 180mm.
Adjust as follows if the track is too slack:
1.
Slacken the lock nuts.
2.
Slacken the rear locking bolt.
3.
Screw the adjusting screw in to tighten
the track.
After the adjustment, check the track tension
again and retighten locking bolt and lock nuts.
