T190 Compact Track Loader
Operation & Maintenance Manual

TRACK TENSION

Adjusting

Track tension is important for good performance and to
prevent the tracks from derailing.

NOTE: The wear of track rollers vary with the working

conditions and different types of soil
conditions.

Park the loader on a level surface.

Figure 172

Raise one side of the loader and put jackstands at the
front and rear of the loader frame so that the track is
about 76 mm off the ground [Figure 172]. Lower the
loader to the jackstands. Be sure the jackstands do not
touch the tracks.

Figure 173

Measure the track sag at the middle track roller
[Figure 173].

DO NOT put your fingers into the pinch points between
the track and the roller. Use a 1/2 to 5/8 in. bolt, dowel or
block to check the gap (1) [Figure 172] and
[Figure 173].

WARNING

AVOID INJURY

Keep fingers and hands out of pinch points when
checking the track tension.

Figure 174

Loosen the cover bolts and turn the cover down
[Figure 174].

NOTE: The grease cylinder used on the left side of

the loader is identical to the cylinder on the
right side. When the cylinder is located on the
left side, the adjustment fitting is the lower
fitting; on the right side it is the upper fitting.

Increase Track Tension:

Add grease to the fitting (1) [Figure 174] (lower fitting on
the left side, upper fitting on the right side.) until the track
adjustment is correct [Figure 172] and [Figure 173].

NOTE: Do not remove grease fitting unless pressure

is released using the bleed fitting. (See
Adjusting on Page 96.)

NOTE: If replacement is necessary, always replace

grease fitting (1) [Figure 174] with genuine
Bobcat Parts. The fitting is a special fitting
designed for high pressure.
