OPERATING THE MACHINE
5-21
TRAVELING AND OTHER CAUTIONS
CAUTION: The rubber crawler machine is less
stable than the steel crawler machine, as the
edge of the rubber crawler may deform when
loaded. Pay attention when digging with the
boom positioned at a right angle to the tracks.
1. Do not keep the rubber crawler under direct sunlight
for more than three months.
2. Avoid reckless steering operations on concrete road
to the extent possible, as this will cause wear to the
shoe lug. Also, avoid running on asphalt road of more
than 60
°
C (140
°
F) in temperature, as this will cause
wear to the shoe as well as damage to the road sur-
face.
3. Running with a loose track on uneven surfaces can
result in sudden separation and/or damage of the
track.
4. Ease the machine down from the jacked-up position.
Do not let it drop.
5. The rubber track has a thin rubber film on its inner
surfaces, as shown, when it is new. In a new machine,
the rubber film may come off while being rubbed
against rollers. This is not abnormal.
