TRACK CHIPPER MACHINE CONTROLS HYDRAULIC CONTROLS Your track machine has a series of hydraulic controls located on the machine control panel and radio transmitter, which are clearly marked for use. To operate, push levers/toggle switches in the direction of the command you want to perform. See illustrations and details below. - Page 18 TRACK CHIPPER MACHINE CONTROLS HYDRAULIC CONTROLS (cont.) • GEAR (HIGH/ LOW) (Same on Remote) Gear control affects both the travel speed and track motor torque. In high gear the machine moves faster with less track motor torque. In low gear the machine will travel slower with more track motor torque.
- Page 19 TRACK CHIPPER MACHINE CONTROLS PROGRAMMING OMNEX WIRELESS REMOTE If there is a problem with the receiver or the transmitter and either must be replaced, you will need to program the new unit to communicate with the existing unit. Or if you have more than one transmitter for this machine, it will need to be programmed to communicate with the existing receiver.
- Page 20 TRACK CHIPPER MACHINE CONTROLS PROGRAMMING HATOX WIRELESS REMOTE To pair the handheld transmitter and the machine receiver, follow the below steps. • Stand within 3 feet of the machine receiver with no obstruction between the two devices. • Activate the transmitter into pairing mode by holding the Chute Left/Right switch in the LEFT position and the Right Track Reverse/Forward switch in the Forward...
- Page 21 TRACK CHIPPER MACHINE CONTROLS ENGINE CONTROLS *Refer to the engine manufacturer’s manual for controls, operation, and service. A machine equipped with a wireless remote system will have an On/Off toggle switch and engine ignition key switch for startup and shutdown of the engine. The On/Off toggle switch is located on the machine control box and must be switched to the On position before engine will start.
- Page 22 TRACK CHIPPER TRANSPORTING CAUTION DO NOT TOW! This machine is designed to be transported to the job site and will move under its own power once on site. Transport machine in a suitable vehicle designed for a load of these dimensions and weight. A low trailer is recommended due to its decreased entry height and will be safer all around.
- Page 23 TRACK CHIPPER TRANSPORTING WARNING Trailer must be securely attached to tow vehicle before loading or unloading the machine. Do not unload on anything other than level ground! LOADING • Start engine as recommended by the engine manufacturers manual. • Increase engine RPM. •...

- Page 27 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 28 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 29 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 30 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 31 BASIC MAINTENANCE 2.1 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 32 2.2 MAINTENANCE CHECKS (con’t) After identifying any problems, take corrective action immediately; tighten bolts and nuts to correct torque as per Appendix A, replace damaged or worn components, and refill the oil to recommended levels. WARNING DO NOT operate the tracks with damaged or defective components. Any persistent problem should be reported to the machine manufacturer.
- Page 33 2.3 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 34 2.4 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 35 2.4.1 Tightening the Track • Loosen one of the two screws and swing access cover away from access aperture on the side of the track frame (if applicable). • Ensure the grease fitting and grease gun adaptor is clean; ingress of dirt into the grease fitting can result in failure.
- Page 36 2.4.3 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 37 2.4.4 Refitting the Belt 1. Support the machine safely off the ground, fit the new belt over the idler end first. 2. With the idler fully retracted fit the belt over the sprocket. This may require the use of a prybar to walk the belt into place.
- Page 38 2.5 TRACK DRIVE UNITS 2.5.1 Oil Fitting & Draining Below are the 3-common oil filling/draining configurations: To fill, track the machine until the gearbox casing is level with a plug positioned as shown below. Fill from the upper hole until oil reaches the level indicated. To drain, track the machine until a plug is at 6 o’clock position as shown below.

- Page 41 3.2 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 42 TROUBLESHOOTING 4.1 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 43 4.2 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 44 4.3 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 45 4.4 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.
