ROAD LINERS 3
Information on the road liners 3
The road liners have exceptional characteristics that cannot be found in steel tracks. However, if they are used as
if they were steel tracks, it is impossible to exploit all the advantages they offer.
Do not subject the road liners to excessive stress and always take in consideration the conditions of the worksite
and the nature of the operations to be performed.
Comparison between road liner and steel tracks
Considering the properties of the material used, road liner offer various advantages. However, their weak point is
limited resistance.

Consequently, it is important to understand what advantages are offered by the road liner, to take the necessary
precautions for use, and to avoid performing operations that are not allowed.

This will increase the life of the road liner and will allow their characteristics to be fully exploited.

Before using road liner, always read section "Use of the the road liners (3-173)".
Warranty on road liner 3
It is important to carry out inspections and maintenance operations and to ensure that the track tension is always
correct.

Furthermore, these road liner should not be used near objects that may damage them, such as sharp steel plates,
U-grooves, broken or pointed rocks, steel bars or scraps.


Prohibited Operations
Keep to the following instructions.
q
Avoid performing rotations or other operations on broken rocks, very hard rocks, steel bars, scraps, or near
the edges of steel plates, since this may damage the road liners.
q
In places like river beds, where there is a great quantity of large and small stones, these may get stuck in the
road liners, and damage them or cause them to come off. Carrying out levelling operations if the road liners
slip reduces their duration.
q
Do not dirty the road liners with oil, fuel or chemical solvents. If one of these substances gets on the road
liners, clean them immediately. Furthermore, do not travel on road surfaces that are dirty with oil.
q
When the machine is going to remain unused for a long period (3 months or more), keep it indoors, away from
direct sunlight and protected from rain.
q
Do not use the machine in areas where the temperature is particularly high, for example in the presence of
burning wood, hot steel plates or on roads that have just been asphalted.
