Every 50 Hours - Takeuchi TL220 Operator's Manual

MAINTENANCE
Every 50 Hours
Inspecting and Adjusting the
Track Tension
AwARNING
• 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.
• The track adjuster contains highly
pressurized grease. If the tension
is adjusted without following the
prescribed procedure, the grease
discharge valve may fly off, resulting in
injury.
• Loosen the grease discharge valve
slowly.
• Do not put your face, arms, legs or
body in front of the grease discharge
valve.
• If no grease is expelled when the
grease discharge valve is loosened,
there is a problem. Contact your
Takeuchi dealer for repairs. DO NOT
disassemble, because this is very
dangerous.
