  • Page 68: General Information

    GENERAL SAFETY AND ACCIDENT PREVENTION Please ensure all safety precautions and instructions are adhered to when installing, operating and/or performing maintenance on the track systems. Every job is different and a risk assessment and method statement should be conducted and adhered to for any maintenance operation.

  • Page 69: Safe Lifting And Handling Of Track Systems

    1.5 SAFE LIFTING AND HANDLING OF TRACK SYSTEMS Always check the weight stamped on the identification plate before lifting or moving the track system. For reasons of safety and even weight distribution, always use two chains or slings in the positions shown below. Ensure the adjoining sling which connects the chains to the crane hoist has an adequate load rating.

  • Page 70: Operating Precautions

    1.6 OPERATING PRECAUTIONS When travelling up a gradient, the tracks should be driven forward (i.e. idler first, drive sprocket to the rear). When travelling down a gradient, tracks should be driven sprocket first. Always: • Park the machine on flat, level ground. If it is necessary to park the machine on a gradient, the tracks should be solidly blocked.

  • Page 71: Working Conditions

    1.7 WORKING CONDITIONS Avoid using the rubber tracks in the following situations: 1. Do not use in marine and seaside environments. Saline air will cause the rubber and the internal steel cords to lose adhesion. 2. Do not keep the tracks in exposed sunlight for extended periods of time as UV rays will shorten the life of the rubber track.

  • Page 72: Track System

    TRACK SYSTEM 2.1 Hydraulic Track Drives Primarily, these track systems are installed with track drive gearboxes with two types of hydraulic motors. • Dual displacement (2-speed) • Fixed displacement (single speed) 2.1.1 Track Drives Fitted with Dual Displacement Motor These dual displacement track drives are fitted with hydraulically controlled 2-speed motors, switchable between displacements by applying a separate pressure to the displacement change port.

  • Page 73: Track Drives Fitted With Fixed Displacement Motor

    2.1.2 Track Drives Fitted with Fixed displacement Motors This gearbox is for illustration purposes only and the version on your specific machine may differ slightly. Please refer to the product supplementation specific to your machine for information. 2.1.3 Motion Control / Brake Release Valves Motion control / brake release valves are designed for use with open loop hydraulic circuits only.

  • Page 74: Basic Maintenance

    BASIC MAINTENANCE 3.1 CORRECT MAINTENANCE PROCEDURE In order to maintain the reliability of the track systems, regular maintenance is essential. It is imperative that the tracks are maintained as outlined within this maintenance section. ALWAYS: • Perform maintenance on a level and solid surface. •...

  • Page 75: Maintenance Checks

    3.2 MAINTENANCE CHECKS Please note the maintenance intervals specified below are for track systems working under normal conditions. If the track system is used in severe working conditions, the maintenance and safety checks must be performed more frequently. Particularly the monthly checks; which should be performed weekly or even daily in extreme cases.

  • Page 76: Checking Track Tension

    3.3 CHECKING TRACK TENSION Stop your machine on solid level ground and drive 6 feet (minimum) in a forward direction. Lift the center of the belt up gently and measure the sag on the top part of the track in the longest section of unsupported track as shown below.

  • Page 77: Adjustment Of Track Tension

    3.4 ADJUSTMENT OF TRACK TENSION Track systems use a grease cylinder to keep each track chain in tension. Screwed into the end of the grease cylinder is a grease fitting, enabling grease to be pumped into the grease chamber tightening the track. If this valve is loosened grease will escape causing the track to de-tension.

  • Page 78: Tightening The Track

    3.4.1 Tightening the Track • Loosen one of the two screws and swing access cover away from access aperture on the side of the track frame. • Ensure the grease fitting and grease gun adaptor is clean; ingress of dirt into the grease fitting can result in failure.

  • Page 79: Removing The Track Belt

    3.4.3 Removing the Track Belt • To remove the track belt first ensure the machine is in a safe flat working area on solid ground. • Lift up the machine and support it with the tracks safely off the ground. •...

  • Page 80: Refitting The Belt

    3.4.4 Refitting the Belt 1. Support the machine safely off the ground, fit the new belt over the sprocket end first. 2. With the idler fully retracted fit the belt over the idler. 3. Ensure the sprocket is meshed properly and the belt is seated correctly on the rollers. 4.

  • Page 83: Leaks And Seizures

    4.2 LEAKS AND SEIZURES Many components fitted to the rubber track systems, such as rollers and idlers are lubricated with oil. Regular checks should be made to ensure these components are not leaking and rotate freely when the tracks are driven. Any items such as rollers, which show signs of leaking, or fail to rotate when the tracks are driven should be replaced immediately to prevent damage to the system.

  • Page 84: Troubleshooting

    TROUBLESHOOTING 5.1 TRACK TENSION Track systems use a grease cylinder to keep the track chains in tension. Loss of tension in the tracks can result in the sprocket jumping in the belt lugs, and also allows the belt to run off of the idler/sprocket.

  • Page 85: Loss Of Drive

    5.2 LOSS OF DRIVE The rubber track systems are driven using hydraulic motors connected to planetary drive gearboxes. The hydraulic motors are driven using the hydraulics fitted to the machine. Begin by making a visual inspection of the tracks, particularly around the sprocket, idler and bottom rollers where material / objects can sometimes lodge.

  • Page 86: Manual Break Disengagement Of Track Drive

    5.3 MANUAL BREAK DISENGAGEMENT OF TRACK DRIVE The drives are fitted with negative parking brakes, therefore when no pressure is applied, the parking brake is locked on. Should the host machine need towing due to loss of drive power, there are two different solutions for towing the machine depending on the gearbox installed. Gearboxes with Mechanical Disengagement Function: If the gearbox is supplied with the mechanical disengagement function, it can be identified by a plug situated on the outer face of the gearbox end cover, shown fig.1 above.

  • Page 87: Loss Of Parallel Drive

    5.4 LOSS OF PARALLEL DRIVE The rubber track systems are driven by hydraulic track drive units. Drives consist of a hydraulic motor connected to a planetary drive gearbox. Power is relative to the hydraulic pressure and speed is relative to the hydraulic flow from the machine’s hydraulic circuit.
