4.7.1.d CHECKING THE STEEL TRACK TENSION
DANGER
This operation must be carried out by two operators. One operator must be seated in the cab and oper-
ate the machine according to the instructions of the operator who carries out the check and the adjust-
ment.
The track tension must be checked with the frame lifted from the ground; be careful not to move any
control lever while the operator is carrying out the check.
CHECK (for PC20R only)
Stop the machine on a firm and level surface and lower the
equipment to the ground.
1 - Raise each track by means of boom and arm.
Operate the control levers slowly during this operation.
2 - Measure the distance between the track and the second roll-
er, starting from the sprocket. If the distance is included be-
tween 10 and 30 mm, the tension is normal.
If the value is not included in this interval, adjust the track un-
til reaching the correct value.
