13-20-3. Precautions for using the rubber track
Prohibitions
Observe the following prohibitions:
• Do not operate or swing on sharp stones, a hard, uneven
rock base, or around steel rods, scrap iron, or edges of
iron plates. Failure to observe these prohibitions may
damage the rubber track.
• Do not operate the machine on a stony surface like a riv-
erbed. Doing this may damage the rubber track by catch-
ing gravel in the track or may cause the track to come off.
Forcibly pushing obstacles with the track slipped will
shorten the life of the rubber track.
• Prevent the rubber from getting exposed to oil, fuel, or
chemical solvents. If it is exposed, immediately wipe it.
Also, do not travel on a road which has an oil pool.
• When storing the rubber track for a long time period
(more than three months), avoid placing it in a place sub-
ject to direct exposure to sunlight or rain.
• Do not operate the machine on heated places such as in
an open-air fire, on a steel plate exposed to the blazing
sun, or on a hot asphalt road.
• Never run on one rubber track while the other is held
above the ground with the implement. Doing this may
damage the rubber track or cause it to come off.
