Inspect the track visually for damage or missing fasteners. Replace any grousers that are damaged and replace any fasteners that are missing.

To adjust the tension, there is a greaser valve on the recoil group. To relax the tension on the track, loosen the greaser with an appropriate wrench or socket. To tighten the tension on the track, make sure that the greaser is tight. Apply grease to the greaser until the proper tension is achieved.

Note: Turn the greaser a maximum of one full turn when releasing track tension.

Check the torque for the track grouser bolts and the master link bolts. Torque to the required value of 280 ± 15 N·m (206 ± 11 lb ft).
