Basic Rules for Maximizing Track Life
The basic rules in maximizing track life are:
• Follow the correct break-in procedures
• Maintain the proper track alignment
• Know ways to maximize the treadbar life
• Use the correct operational techniques
1. New Track Break-in
Tracks (specifically the drive lugs) will benefit greatly from the correct break-in procedures. The correct break-in
can help reduce the initial amount of guide lug and midroller wear. During the break-in period, the track
components undergo a polishing-in process. New rubber surfaces benefit from contact with the dry soil in order to
facilitate smooth break-in and minimize guide lug scuffing. Tracks should be operated in dry soil as soon as
possible. A significant amount of operation, especially roading, before introduction into the soil should be avoided.
Rule #1 - You must always break-in a new set of tracks, if possible, in dry and dusty conditions.
Rule #2 - Always avoid extended roading at high speeds with a new set of tracks during the break-in period, or
guide lug and wheel edge damage could result.
2. Track Alignment
The Conversion Track System is designed without a track alignment adjustment. The tracks will align themselves
and there is no need to adjust the alignment.
