Loosen the Track (Rubber Crawler)
d
WARNING: The pressure inside the cylinder of the
track adjuster is high. Do not loosen valve (1) quickly
or loosen it too much as valve (1) may fly out or high-
pressure grease in the adjusting cylinder may spout
out. Slowly loosen valve (1) while keeping body parts
and face away from valve (1). Never loosen grease
fitting (2).
IMPORTANT: When gravel or mud is packed between
sprockets and rubber crawlers, remove it before
loosening.
1. To loosen the track, slowly turn valve (1)
counterclockwise using long socket 19; grease will
escape from the grease outlet.
2. Between 1 to 1.5 turns of valve (1) is sufficient to loosen
the track. Do not loosen valve (1) further.
3. If grease does not drain smoothly, slowly rotate the
raised track.
d
CAUTION: To prevent accidents, care should be taken
to ensure that hands, feet, and any body parts do not
become entangled when working around the tracks.
4. When proper track sag is obtained, turn valve (1)
clockwise to the original condition.
Tightening Torque: 90 N·m (9 kgf·m, 66.5 lbf·ft)
d
CAUTION: Consult your authorized dealer if grease is
not sufficiently drained.
Tighten the Track (Rubber Crawler)
d
WARNING: It is abnormal if the track can not be
adjusted. The strong force acts on the spring in track
adjuster. Therefore, the grease in cylinder is highly
pressurized. In such cases, NEVER ATTEMPT TO
DISASSEMBLE the track or track adjuster, because
of dangerous high-pressure grease inside the track
adjuster. See your authorized dealer immediately.
To tighten the track, connect a grease gun to grease fitting (2)
and add grease until the sag is within specifications.
