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.
• Ensure the terrain the machine is working on is firm enough to adequately support the
machine.
• Ensure the track systems are free from debris before moving the machine.
• Make certain the tracks are not frozen to the ground before moving the machine.
• Ensure no leakage of oil from gearbox, roller and idler before and during tracking.
Never:
• Attempt to track the machine if there is any build-up of material around the tracks or
drive sprockets.
• Attempt to track the machine if the tracks are frozen to the ground.
• Push or tow the machine if it is unable to free itself.
• Track the machine for extended periods of time without providing adequate rest.
Failure to observe the above precautions could result in danger to persons
and damage to the track systems and may also invalidate the warranty.
