quickly and the links can catch on the sprocket wheel
or slide off the idler wheel or the sprocket wheel.
Clean the tracks after work.
IMPORTANT: For rubber tracks (Optional), avoid
pivoting on the spot as this could cause the tracks to
wear out quickly and could also cause jamming of
stones, rocks, etc. Avoid working in an area full of
rock rubble or debris, pieces of reinforced concrete or
striated plates.

CLEANING

reduction in temperature can cause the mud to
solidify.

undercarriage. Use the attachment to press on
the ground and lower the boom until the track is
raised off the ground.
