☞In addition, ensure that the vehicle cannot overturn
Check track tension
Check track tension as follows:
☞Park the dumper on firm and level ground
☞Raise the dumper with suitable means
☞Tracks should be raised off the ground
☞Stop the engine
☞Use additional supports for the dumper and ensure that it cannot overturn
☞Measure the clearance at the middle track roller A
➥The rubber track should not sag more than 15 mm when tight
If possible, the distance from the rollers should be the same for both tracks.

☞Park the dumper on firm and level ground
☞Raise the dumper with suitable means
