2 - 15 PRECAUTIONS WHEN USING RUBBER TRACKS
STRUCTURE OF RUBBER TRACKS
The figure to the right shows the structure of rubber
tracks.
They are metal cords of:
-
metal wires which support the tension of the tracks.
- cast iron inserts which support the track itself.
- external covering in rubber.
PRECAUTIONS
1. Adjust the track tension at regular intervals.
•
too low tension allows the tracks to jump out of their guides and wears the drive wheels and metal
inserts of the tracks themselves very quickly.
•
too much tension increases the resistance to travel and this may result in wear of the undercarriage
as well as overtensioning the tracks which may break prematurely.
2. To avoid damaging rubber tracks, do not use them in the following conditions
•
quarries and sharp rocks
•
river beds or paths crossed by wooden slats
•
metal bars and waste material
•
edges and corners of metal and concrete objects
•
fire and other sources of heat
•
driving in contact with cement flooring and walls
3. Clean any diesel, hydraulic fluid and grease off the tracks with a rag.
4. Do not turn the machine quickly on the tracks.
5. If the machine is not used for a long time (more than 3 months) store the tracks away from direct sunlight
and rain.
6. When using rubber tracks, only operate the machine in the temperature range -25°C to +55°C.
