Wear Strips
To avoid excessive tunnel wear, tunnel wear strips must be installed
whenever track studding is used. Several wear strips are available.
See your dealer for more information.
Some models are manufactured with tunnel wear strips or wear strip
coolers installed. Refer to your Owner’s Manual Supplement to
determine if your model has wear strips.
Wear strips are designed for a specific stud length. See your dealer’s
studding chart for recommended traction accessories.

Studs longer than 1
″
(2.5 cm) on machines equipped with
center coolers will cause center cooler damage.
Whenever wear strips are relocated, be sure there’s adequate
stud clearance to the heat exchangers. Lack of clearance may
result in damage to heat exchangers.
