3.7 Operational Guidelines
Any application differing from the ones prescribed in this manual are to be considered
improper and potentially dangerous.
Correct track tension is required for best performance and track life.
Camso TTS can work in extreme conditions: for operator and machine safety, be sure
to know your surroundings.
Camso TTS is free to pivot around the main axle following ground contours. During
transition over uneven ground terrain, check for interferences and move slowly to
avoid over oscillating the undercarriage.
Overall width and height of machine/equipment with Camso TTS could differ from the
original width and height with tires. Be sure to know actual machine height and width
as well as width restrictions prior to operation.
Cross large ground irregularities with suitable speed reduction and/or proper incidence
angle. In particular, when high, sharp bumps are crossed move forward slowly to avoid
shocks on the machine.
Camso TTS does not damage standard road-bed constructions. Operators must know
and respect road traffic laws.
Rubber tracks have not been designed for extended use on the road. Camso is not
responsible for track and system damage resulting for extended road use. Long road
periods and/or roading at higher than recommended maximum speeds may cause
premature wear or failure of the track or wheels. To reduce damage during roading
decrease overall machine weight and decrease machine speed, s
ee “Transport
Limitations” section for further information.
Long runs on side slopes increase the wear on the side of guide lugs and idlers.
Keep material out of the undercarriage. Inspect undercarriage daily and remove any
material as necessary. In some conditions inspect more frequently.
If a machine becomes stuck, clear away as much material from the undercarriage as
possible prior to pulling the machine out.
Avoid short turning radius turns and operation(s) especially when loaded. Spot turning
creates debris ingestion and can also induce high torque loading in the system.
Configure drawbar and hitch correctly during field operation(s).
Use caution when operating track systems in loose, flowing material. Loose material
can become trapped between track and idlers, resulting in track damage.
Keep material out of the undercarriage. This may require scraping material out of tight
places and in some conditions require frequent inspection and cleaning
