RUBBER CONVEYOR MAT.
On average, depending on soil conditions, the Mat will
last two or three seasons. Under certain soil conditions
the Metal Inserts will wear out and have to be replaced.
Below are shown the recommended methods for
removing/replacing the Mat Splices and Metal Inserts.
The Mat sections are joined with Mat Splices.
There are special tools available for easy removal and
replacement of the Splices.
Type ‘A’ is for use with Air Power. (Part No. KD89999).
Type ‘B’ is for use with a hand tool. (Part No. KD90000).
These special tools speed-up the removal and replace-
ment of the Mat Splices.
The Sprocket Slots in the mat have Metal Inserts in them.
If they need to be removed, use a chisel or similar tool to
open them up for removal.
For a fast safe method of installing Metal Mat Clips, the
Track Clip Installer Tool is available. (Part No. KD89998).
This tool can be used only on 16 and 18 inch Mats.
NOTE
On 24 inch Mats the mat slots are smaller, and a smaller
Clip is used.
To install the clips, fit them into the mat and ‘hammer’
them closed.
