4.11.4 CRAWLER TRACK - INSPECTION
CHECK ADJUSTING RANGE OF GUIDE WHEELS
(Track retensioning range)
GENERAL
The hydraulic track tensioning system, illust. Z 20371 maintains
automatically the correct track tension. The pilot pressure oil of
the travel brake release circuit is used, to pressurize the four
adjusting cylinders (10) and (11). The resulting force moves the
guide wheels toward the front, until the correct track tension is
obtained. External forces acting upon the guide wheels are
absorbed through the pressure accumulators (8A) and (8B).
