Care of rubber tracks

Do not manoeuvre on hard, stony and highly abrasive surfaces.

Do not leave tracks exposed to direct sunlight for more than 3 months.

Avoid aggressive steering on asphalt and concrete as this will cause
excessive track wear. Also avoid driving on asphalt that is hot and above
60°C, it will damage the tracks and asphalt.

Loose tracks can be detached and damaged when manoeuvring on very
uneven ground.

Tracks are for use on soft ground. They will rapidly deteriorate if used on
hard or abrasive surfaces such as sand, stone or minerals.

Do not let synthetic oils or fuel get onto the track. Clean immediately if this
occurs.

Do not use tracks in a marine or coastal environment as salt and salt air will
corrode the steel inner core and track components.

The track tension on the XR8 undercarriage should be tensioned with a
grease gun to 200 bar, the grease nipple can be found under the oval side
panel on the side of each track base.
