afeTy uleS ATTENTION! BECOME ALERT! YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED! Safety is a primary concern in the design and manufacture of our products. 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.

Service OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS IMPORTANT: To maximize the life of your track system, it is recommended that wide turns be consistently made whenever possible. 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.
Routine Maintenance WARNING: When Servicing The Track System, Be Certain All Power To Grain Cart Is Shut Off. Repack the wheel bearings at least once a year. Use Bearing Gard MK1 or equivalent lubricant. Also check the seal for wear and replace if necessary. Check the track system periodically for cracks in welds and for other structural damage.
Service AIR BAG REPLACEMENT If replacement of the track tension air springs become necessary, the following steps must be performed: 1. Slowly release the air pressure from the rubber bladder. 2. Remove the bolts that hold the air spring in place and remove the air spring. 3.
Service BELT INSPECTION The rubber track is composed of several layers of cable, similar to the cables used in automotive tires. The most important set of cables are located about 8 mm (0.3 in.) beneath the inside surface of the track. This set of ca- bles, called zero degree cables, withstands track tension.
Installation Step 1 - Install both spindles. Use (2) 1” x 9” Hex Bolts and (2) 1” Centerlock Hex Nuts to attach the spindles to the cart. Next slip the 6” Rubber O-ring onto the spindle. Step 2 - Use an overhead hoist to pick up the grain cart. Use a hoist and chains that are rated for the specific weights.
