11.2 PRECAUTIONS WHEN USING RUBBER SHOES
F
ORBIDDEN WORK AND USE WITH RUBBER SHOES
•
Carrying out operations and steering on crushed rock,
extremely rough hard rock, steel beams, scrap iron or
near the edges of steel plates will cause damage to the
rubber shoes.
•
In places such as riverbeds where there are large
numbers of large and small boulders, the stones may get
caught and damage the rubber shoes or make the shoes
come off. If dozing operations are carried out when the
shoes slip, this will also reduce the life of the rubber
shoes.
•
Be careful not to get oil, fuel or chemical solvent on the
rubber shoes. If such a substance should get on the
shoes, remove it immediately, furthermore do not travel
on road surfaces where oil has collected.
•
When putting the machine into long-term storage (3
months or more) store the machine indoors where t is
protected from direct sunlight or rain.
•
Do not move the machine with the crawler on one side
raised using the work equipment. This will cause damage
to the rubber shoes and may cause the shoes to come
off.
Be careful of the following points when carrying out work:
•
Avoid carrying out counter rotation turns on concrete surfaces.
•
Avoid making sudden changes in direction. This may cause premature
wear or damage to the rubber shoes.
•
Avoid operating the steering when travelling over places where there is a
big difference in height. When travelling over obstacles or places where
there is a difference in height, drive the machine at right angles to the
obstacles to prevent the shoes from coming off.
•
If the machine has been raised using the bucket, lower it slowly.
•
Avoid doing work with materials that will attack the adhesion of the steel
core such as salt, ammonium sulphate, potassium chloride, potassium
sulphate, calcium super phosphate, or wash the machine after use.
•
The adhesion of the core will be attacked by salt, so avoid using the
machine in coastal areas.
•
Do not carry out works that involves scraping against walls or concrete
embankments.
