rubber part of the track assembly can easily be damaged during operation. Operate the machine with the rubber belt only if damage to the rubber belt is shallow and the damage is not harmful. However, any harmful damage to the rubber can cause the following serious problems to the entire track assembly:
Early wear of iron core.
Early wear of track grousers.
Fracture of iron core.
Fracture of track grousers.
Cuts of steel cords
Rubber flaking off
Disengagement of sprocketSuch a failed track assembly needs to be replaced as a unit. To minimize the replacement of the track, observe the following items. To maximize the performance of the track, observe the following items:
Avoid operation under salty conditions.
Avoid combined operation of travel and turning with excessive load on rough terrain.
Avoid operation at rocky or demolition sites.
Use the rubber belt tracks at temperatures within −15 °C (5 °F) to 38 °C (100.4 °F). Avoid operation on hot surfaces.
If the sprockets are badly worn, use a new sprocket for replacement.
Be sure that the tracks are free of oily materials such as fuel, hydraulic oil, or grease.
Avoid going over sharp obstacles. Decreased life of the track, fracture of the track grousers and cut steel cords can occur.
Track tension must be correctly maintained and checked regularly.
Disengagement of the track could occur if the track gets clear of the track roller. This condition could occur while the machine travels over an obstacle.
