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.
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.
WARNING
Danger of crushing. Use suitable lifting devices (capacity at least 9000 lbs
(4100Kg)), wear safety equipment and observe the safety rules.
If using a fork lift use for handling operations, be careful not to damage the
rubber track. Metal chains or cables are not recommended
4.2 Track System Installation
1.
Clean the implement thoroughly before proceeding with the installation. Removal
of dirt and debris makes access to the frame and attaching fasteners easier.
2.
Move the implement to a hard, level surface to ensure a stable work area to
support the implement during the track system installation.
