9 Rubber tracks
•
Avoid the rubber becoming stained by oil, fuel or chemical solvents. If the tracks are dirty,
wipe them immediately. Do not travel across oily surfaces.
•
When you do not use the machine for a period of over 3 months, avoid placing the tracks in a
place that is directly exposed to sunlight or rain.
•
Never drive on heated surfaces such as fires in the open air, a steel plate exposed to the sun
or a hot asphalt road.
•
Never drive on a track when the other track is held above the ground with the equipment.
This may damage the tracks or cause them to come off.
•
Never turn on the spot on concrete or asphalt roads.
•
Do not suddenly change the speed. You risk wearing or damaging the track.
•
Never rotate on ground with a significant difference in level. Climb a step at a right angle to
avoid the tracks coming off.
•
Gently lower a machine that has been raised from the ground with the equipment.
•
We do not recommend that you use the machine to handle materials that become oily once
crushed (soya, wheat grains, compressed colza oil yeast, etc.). After use, clean the machine fully
with water.
•
We do not recommend that you use the machine to handle materials such as salt, ammonium
sulphate, potassium chloride, potassium sulphate or super lime biphosphate. Transporting these
materials risks damage the metals' adhesion. After use, clean the machine fully with water.
•
Avoid the tracks coming into contact with concrete walls.
•
The tracks tend to slip on snow or icy roads. Check that you do not slip when moving or
working on a slope in cold weather.
•
Operating the machine in extremely cold weather may damage the rubber tracks and reduce
their life span. Given the physical characteristics of rubber, observe the operating temperatures
specified in this manual.
•
Do not damage the tracks with the bucket when using the machine.
•
Do not drive on the boundary between a
flat surface and a slope to climb in reverse.
Otherwise, reduce the speed.
•
Do not drive with a track on a slope or con-
vex surface (one that generates an angle of over
10°) and the other track on flat ground; this will
damage the tracks. Drive with both tracks on
the same flat surface.
