Track Wear & Trash Buildup
Avoid grease, oil, or other petroleum chemicals on tracks and wheels. Constant exposure to
petroleum-based chemicals may damage rubber surfaces.
Trash build-up can cause fire from increased friction. Remove trash from trash build-up points (G)
between track and applicator frame.
Inspect for cracking (A), uneven wear (B) and/or chipping or chunking (C) on rubber surfaces of
drive wheels (D), mid-rollers (E) and idler wheels (F).
Remove any embedded rocks, nails, or other sharp object in track belt or mid-rollers.
Undercarriage Inspection and Maintenance
Perform required lubrication. (See LUBRICATION and MAINTENANCE section.)
Inspect for loose, damaged, or missing parts. Repair or replace parts before entering the field.
1. Remove any debris or material buildup on the tops of frame reaction arms. Buildup can
wear down rubber on wheels.
