•
Long runs on side slopes increase the wear on the side of guide lugs and idlers.
•
Keep material out of the undercarriage. Inspect undercarriage daily, removing any
material as necessary. In some conditions inspect more frequently.
•
If a machine becomes stuck, clear away as much material from the undercarriage as
possible prior to pulling the machine out.
•
Avoid short turning radius turns and operation(s) especially when loaded. Spot turning
creates debris ingestion and can also induce high torque loading in the system.
•
Configure drawbar and hitch correctly during field operation(s).
•
Use caution when operating track systems in loose, flowing material. Loose material
can become trapped between track and idlers, resulting in track damage.
•
Keep material out of the undercarriage. This may require scraping material out of tight
places and in some conditions require frequent inspection and cleaning.
3.8 Track Break-in Procedures
Guide lug wear is reduced when correct break-in procedures are followed. During the
break-in period, rolling components undergo a polishing-in process to achieve a smooth
steel to rubber interface with the guide lug. Dust and dirt act as dry lubricants during track
break-in and during normal operation to minimize heat generation and reduce rubber
stickiness. New tracks should be exposed to dry and dusty soil conditions as soon as
possible. Operation without dust or soil in the system,
especially during high speed
roading,
generates high levels of damaging heat. If roading must be done, a dry lubricant
such as soil, talc, graphite, oil dry, or cat litter should be applied to the guide lugs
periodically during roading until field operation resumes.
IMPORTANT: NEW SYSTEMS REQUIRING EXTENDED TRANSPORT
SHOULD BE CARRIED ON A FLAT BED AND NOT ROADED. DO NOT
ROAD A NEW SYSTEM WITHOUT FIRST CHECKING ALIGNMENT AND
INTRODUCING THE TRACKS TO DIRT OR DRY LUBRICANT
4.0 TRACK SYSTEM INSTALLATION
The Camso track systems are mounted on an axle frame. Certain equipment requires a
special axle to be installed prior to track system installation. Contact your dealer for more
information and to determine if the track system can be installed on your implement.
4.1 Handling of the Track System
The track systems can be handled by fork lifts lifting the machine from the base or by
hoists using textile bands.
