When using rubber tracks
WARNING
Risk of crushing.
3
Moving tracks could cause serious crushing injury.
Always ensure that no persons are near the tracks
while the machine is in motion.
Moving over obstacles
When reversing over an obstacle, a gap is formed
between the rollers (1) and track (2). There is a
risk of the rubber tracks coming off.
If the machine continues to reverse, a gap is
formed between the rollers, idler (3) and the track.
The track may then come off when turning in a
condition where the track can not move to the side
because of the obstacle it is passing over or
because of some other object.
NOTE!
Ensure the tracks are always aligned with rollers
and idler. Avoid turning and reversing movements
when going over obstacles. Avoid obstacles that
load the tracks unilaterally.
