5.0 SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE
5.1 General information
The three factors: proper use, regular inspections, and maintenance are essential to ensure
proper performance and reliability of the Camso track system.
It is strongly suggested to respect the recommended maintenance and inspection schedule in
this section for best track system life, proper performance, and reduced downtime.
Before any operation, clean all debris and material from the track system and make a general
analysis of the machine condition. Pay attention to components subject to wear such as rubber
parts: the quick identification of unusual wear, particularly of the track. Identifying and resolving
issues early reduces downtime and operating costs.

Routine and extra maintenance must be performed by qualified and
authorized personnel.
Before starting any kind of operation on the machine, disconnect the
transmission, stop the engine, set on the emergency brake, remove the
key and allow machine to stop completely and cool.
Make sure that mobile parts with safe fixed positioning are locked and
the tools used for maintenance are suitable for the type of service
