Various causes. No compromise of operation.
Wear of the metal
core n Normal wear from cams of drive

n Increased wear during use in
heavily sandy grounds.
Heed chain tension. The metal core can become bent
by great wear. This can cause breaks with progress-

Wear of the profile n Normal appearances
n
Depending on the area of applic-
ation earlier or later.
Depending on the area of application, the crawler
tracks must be replaced appropriately early. Essen-

down.

ground. Then park the machine on wooden boards.
