4. 13 TRACK MAINTENANCE
1.
Track Inspection
Inspect the tracks daily. Look for signs of excessive
wearing, cut, and/or other damage. If damage is found
determine the cause. (Fig. 4.13A)
2.
Roller Inspection
Inspect the rollers and roller mount for signs of damage
and/or excessive wearing. If found, replace. (Fig. 4.13B).
It is normal for rollers to have tears, chunks or cuts.
Operation in an area where there is more debris will
place more inside the track and accelerate the wear.
Rollers should be replaced when rubber tire is completely
worn off on more than 3/4 of the original width. (Fig.
4.13C)
3.
Drive Lug Inspection
Check lugs for damage or wearing. If found examine the
sprockets to find the source.
4.
Removing Debris
Remove debris from sprockets and tandem to avoid
damage to the tracks.
