Loosen Track (Rubber Crawler)<br />
<strong>WARNING</strong>: Do not loosen valve (1) too quickly or<br />
too much as high-pressure grease in the adjusting<br />
cylinder may spout out. Loosen carefully, keeping<br />
body parts and face away from valve (1). Never<br />
loosen grease fitting (2).<br />
MAINTENANCE<br />
IMPORTANT: When gravel or mud is packed around the<br />
components in the undercarriage, remove<br />
it before loosening valve (1).<br />
d<br />
1. To loosen track, slowly turn valve (1) counterclockwise<br />
using a socket wrench (long socket 19); grease will<br />
escape from grease outlet.<br />
2. Between 1 and 1.5 turns of valve (1) are sufficient to<br />
loosen track. Never attempt to loosen the valve further.<br />
3. If grease does not drain smoothly, raise the track to be<br />
loosened off the ground and slowly rotate the track.<br />
4. When proper track sag is obtained, turn valve (1)<br />
clockwise and tighten it to 88 N·m (9 kgf·m, 65 lbf·ft).<br />
Tighten Track (Rubber Crawler)<br />
<strong>WARNING</strong>: In case the track sag is not adjustable,<br />
this is a very hazardous situation. Since the track<br />
adjuster spring is excessively loaded, the grease<br />
pressure inside the track adjuster cylinder is very<br />
high. Incorrect adjustment or disassembly may result<br />
in personal injury and/or death. Immediately consult<br />
your authorized dealer for repair.<br />
To tighten track, connect a grease gun to cylinder grease<br />
fitting (2) located inside the side frame and add grease until<br />
the sag is within specifications.<br />
