13-21-3. Precautions for using the rubber crawlers
Prohibitions
Observe the following prohibitions:
• Do not operate or turn on surfaces or terrains that have
sharp stones, a hard, uneven rock base, or that expose
the crawlers to steel rods, scrap iron, or edges of iron
plates. Failure to observe these prohibitions may dam-
age the rubber crawlers.
• Do not operate the machine on a stony surface like a riv-
erbed. Doing this may damage the rubber crawlers by
catching gravel in the crawlers or may cause the crawl-
ers to come off. Forcibly pushing obstacles will also
shorten the life of the rubber crawlers.
• Prevent the rubber crawlers from getting exposed to oil,
fuel, or chemical solvents. If they are exposed, immedi-
ately wipe them. Also, do not travel on roads which have
oily surfaces.
• When storing the rubber crawlers for a long time period
(more than three months), avoid placing them in a place
subject to direct exposure to sunlight or rain.
• Do not operate the machine when the crawlers will be
exposed to heat, (i.e., near an open-air fire, on a steel
plate that has been exposed to the blazing sun, or on a
hot asphalt road.)
• Never run on one rubber crawler track while the other is
held above the ground with the implement. Doing this
may damage the rubber crawler or cause it to come off.
