3.3.18 RUBBER TRACKS (Machines equipped with rubber tracks only)
3.3.18.1 OPTIMAL USE OF THE RUBBER TRACKS
Rubber tracks have exceptional characteristics that cannot be found in steel tracks. However, if they are used in
the same way as steel tracks, the advantages they offer cannot be fully exploited.

Operate without subjecting the rubber tracks to excessive stress, trying to adapt to the conditions of the job site
and to the work being carried out.
COMPARISON BETWEEN RUBBER TRACKS AND STEEL TRACKS
Considering the properties of the material used, rubber tracks offer various advantages. However, their weak point
is limited resistance. Consequently, it is important to understand what advantages are offered by the rubber tracks,
to take the necessary precautions for use, and to avoid performing operations that are not allowed. This will in-
crease the life of the rubber tracks and will allow their characteristics to be fully exploited. Before using the rubber
tracks, read paragraph "3.3.18.3 USE OF THE RUBBER TRACKS".
3.3.18.2 WARRANTY ON RUBBER TRACKS
It is important to carry out inspections and maintenance operations and to ensure that the track tension is always
correct. Furthermore, these tracks 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.

The warranty does not cover any damage due to the incorrect use of the machine.
