Handling of Rubber Tracks

Handling of Rubber Tracks
This machine is equipped with rubber tracks
and the rubber tracks have their intrinsic
weakness, namely low strength. Please ensure
to abide by the following prohibitions and
precautions to prevent damage and falloff of
rubber tracks.
Prohibition
Do not drive or operate the machine in
following sites:
● Driving and steering the machine on
gravels, rough and hard rocks, steel beams,
or scrap irons or near the edges of steel
plates will damage the rubber tracks.
● Driving the machine on a riverbed or place
with numerous pebbles can probably result
in inclusion of pebbles in the tracks and
the damage or falloff of tracks.
● Do not operate this machine by the sea.
The salt content will probably corrode the
steel core.
● Keep the tracks away from the adhesion of
fuel, lubricating oil, salt, and chemical
solvent. These substances will probably
corrode the welds of track steel cores to
cause rusting or falloff. Such substances
adhered onto the tracks shall be
immediately removed by water.
