MAINTENANCE
Increasing Track Tension
Prepare a grease pump.
1. Pump in grease through grease fitting (2) with a grease pump.
2. To check that the correct tension has been achieved, run the
engine at low idle, move the machine slowly forwards (7 to 8 m
(23.0 to 26.3 ft)), then stop the machine.
3. Check the track tension again, and if the tension is not correct,
adjust it again.
4. Continue to pump in grease until dimension (S) becomes zero
(0). If the tension is still loose, the pin and bushing are
excessively worn, so they must be either turned or replaced.
Please contact your Komatsu distributor for repairs.
Loosening Track Tension
It is extremely dangerous to release the grease by any method except the procedure given below.
If track tension is not relieved by this procedure, contact your Komatsu distributor for repairs.
1. Loosen plug (1) gradually to release the grease.
2. When loosening plug (1), turn it a maximum of one turn.
3. If the grease does not come out smoothly, move the machine
forwards and backwards a short distance.
4. Tighten plug (1).
5. To check that the correct tension has been achieved, run the
engine at low idle, move the machine slowly forwards (7 to 8 m
(23.0 to 26.3 ft)), then stop the machine.
6. Check the track tension again, and if the tension is not correct,
adjust it again.
