CAUTION
If a crack reaches the steel cord, of
may be rusted and cut off by
moisture.
When any crack is detected, repair
it immediately with vulcanizer.
Precaution on Use
1. Adjust the track often enough to
keep a proper tension.
Insufficient tension slips off the
rubber track shoe and wears out the
sprocket and iron core extremely.
Excessive tension increases travel
resistance, which prevents proper
travel force and speed. it also
causes damages and extreme wear
at undercarriage as well as
overextension of the rubber track
shoe.
2.
To prevent damages of the rubber
track shoe, avoid the following in
travel as much as possible.
Pointed rocks or quarry
Craggy place such as riverbed or
path through woods
Steel rods or scraps
