Unfortunately, our efforts to pro- vide safe equipment can be erased by an operator’s single careless act. In addition, hazard control and accident prevention are dependent upon the awareness, concern, judgment, and proper training of personnel involved in the operation, transport, maintenance and storage of equipment.

Turning in a circle that is THREE TIMES the overall length of the tractor and track unit will reduce premature wear on the belt and undercarriage. Lubrication Service Schedule IMPORTANT: Your Track System has grease fittings at all critical points.
