Wear Inspections
Track Guide Wear
Operating with excessively worn track guides could result in premature
wear to other track guidance components.
Measure track guide width at multiple positions. Replace the guide if:
• any measurement is less than 5 mm or
• the concave shape of the guiding strip is no longer visible
Track Wear
Operating with a worn or damaged track could result in damage to the
wheels and to the track guide.
• Inspect track condition on both the inner and outer sides of the track.
• Inspect the rolling path, the driving lug and the profile.
• Inspect the entire length and width of the track for wear, cracks and
other damage. If a track’s internal structure is visible at cracks or worn
areas, replace the track before operating.
