Track Tension - CanyCom BP416 Operator's Manual

7.7.5

Track Tension

Loose track tension can cause the tracks to come off the machine, causing damage to the
machine and possibly serious injury or death to the operator or bystanders.
During the first 100 hours of use, the tracks stretch and the track tension loosens.
Check track tension during the preoperation inspection and as part of monthly inspections,
as specified in the Regular Inspection Chart.

3. Loosen the lock nut of the crawler tension bolt.
4. Rotate the crawler tension bolt to adjust the clearance
(H in the figure) between the crawler and the lowest
