•
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. Rubber uses dust and dirt as a dry lubricant
during break-in and operation to minimize heat 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.
ATTENTION:
NEW SYSTEMS REQUIRING EXTENDED TRANSPORT SHOULD BE
CARRIED ON A FLAT BED. DO NOT ROAD A NEW SYSTEM WITHOUT
FIRST CHECKING ALIGNMENT AND INTRODUCING THE TRACKS TO
DIRT OR DRY LUBRICANT OR GUIDE LUG DAMAGE MAY RESULT
4.0 TRACK SYSTEM INSTALLATION
The track system is 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.
