TRACK SHOES SELECTION

Select the appropriate track shoe to match the operating conditions.
If wider shoes than necessary are used, the load on the shoe will increase. It may cause problems such as
bending of the track shoe, cracking of the link, damage of the pin, coming off of the pin, and looseness of the
shoe bolts.

These shoes can be used widely for stone breakage, housing land development,
and civil engineering.
No limitation for the use.
Use these shoes on the normal soil ground where the scraping operation for the
construction of a golf course, pushing-down operation, and the coal mine strip-
ping operation are the main operations.
They cannot be used on a rocky ground. If there are scattered rocks on the job-
site, be careful not to let the machine run over the rocks.
Use these shoes for the such soft ground as if they are used on the places of the
classification B, they would bury. Do not use them on the jobsite where rocks are
scattered.
Use these shoes only in places where the machine sinks and it is impos-
•
sible to use A, B or C shoes.
These shoes cannot be used on rough ground where there are large ob-
•
stacles such as boulders or fallen trees.
• Drive the machine at Hi or Mi speed only on flat ground, and if it is im-
possible to avoid driving over obstacles, shift down and drive at half
speed in Lo.
