Notes for rubber crawler operation

Driving or turning on sharp objects or over steps causes exces-
sive wear on the rubber crawlers and will lead to breaking of the
rubber crawler or cause the crawler running surface and the
steel inserts to be cut.

Make sure that no foreign objects get stuck in the rubber crawl-
er. Foreign objects lead to excessive crawler wear and can
cause it to break.

The crawler can become blocked due to too much dirt and sand. In this case, reverse the machine a short
distance in order to loosen dirt and sand.

Keep oil products away from the rubber crawlers.

Remove any fuel or hydraulic oil spilled on the rubber crawlers.
Making sharp turns

Do not make sharp turns on streets with a high-friction tarmac, e.g. concrete.
Protecting the crawler against salt

Do not work with the machine on the seashore. (The salt will cause the steel insert to corrode.)
