PRECAUTIONS WHEN USING RUBBER TRACKS
STRUCTURE OF RUBBER TRACKS
PRECAUTIONS IN OPERATION
1. The tension of the tracks must be adjusted frequently.
•
too low tension allows the tracks to jump out of their guides and wears the drive wheels and metal inserts of the
tracks themselves very quickly.
•
too much tension increases the resistance to travel and this may result in wear of the undercarriage as well as
overtensioning the tracks which may break prematurely.
2. The following situations can damage the rubber tracks and are to be avoided
•
quarries and sharp rocks
•
metal bars and waste material
•
edges and corners of metal and concrete objects
•
fire and other sources of heat
•
driving in contact with cement flooring and walls
3. Clean any diesel, hydraulic fluid and grease off the tracks.
4. Do not turn the machine quickly on the tracks.
5. If the machine is not used for a long time (more than 3 months) store the tracks away from direct sunlight and rain.
6. When using rubber tracks, only operate the machine in the temperature range -25°C to +55°C.
2.10 PARKING THE MACHINE
At the end of the day’s work, proceed as follows:
PARKING THE MACHINE
Drive the machine to safe area with level ground.
1. Push the throttle lever forwards to reduce the engine speed.
2. Release the travel levers to stop the machine.
3. Lower the loader shovel (if mounted) to the ground and apply a slight contact pressure.
4. Switch off the engine.
IN FREEZING CONDITIONS
In very low subzero temperatures, clean any mud and dirt off the tracks, and park the machine on wooden boards.
