Rubber Track Use Cautions and Tips

If possible, avoid traveling over broken or
jagged stone, metal objects, on other sharp
objects that could damage or cut the tracks.
If possible, avoid traveling in areas with loose
rocks that could get stuck in the tracks, or
between the tracks and the track wheels.
Avoid using the machine in salt water areas.
Salt can corrode the metal cores in the tracks.
Clean any fuel, oil, salt, fertilizer or chemical
solvents that might get on the tracks. These
substances could corrode the metal cores in the
tracks.
Avoid traveling on roads immediately after
asphalting, or on other hot surfaces or over
fires. Damage to the tracks could result.
If climbing steps or cobblestone, avoid climbing
at an angle. Climb straight up the slope and do
not change course at the top of the slope.
When climbing slopes. Do not suddenly change
course at the point where the slopes starts.
Avoid traveling with one track on a slope or
other raised surface and the other track on a flat
surface.
Avoid sharp and spin turns on concrete
surfaces.
Avoid drops that cause severe blows to the
tracks.
Avoid rubbing the sides of the tracks against
walls or other vertical surfaces.
NOTE:
Track damage caused by heavy and/or
abusive use is not covered under warranty.
Damaged tracks cannot be repaired and must
be replaced.
