Notes for rubber crawler operation

Driving or turning on sharp objects or over steps causes exces-
sive wear on the rubber crawlers and will lead to breaking of the
rubber crawler or cause the crawler running surface and the
steel inserts to be cut.
Make sure that no foreign objects get stuck in the rubber crawl-
er. Foreign objects lead to excessive crawler wear and can
cause it to break.
The crawler can become blocked due to too much dirt and sand. In this case, reverse the machine a short
distance in order to loosen dirt and sand.
Keep oil products away from the rubber crawlers.
Remove any fuel or hydraulic oil spilled on the rubber crawlers.
Making sharp turns
Do not make sharp turns on streets with a high-friction tarmac, e.g. concrete.
Protecting the crawler against salt
Do not work with the machine on the seashore. (The salt will cause the steel insert to corrode.)
