Inner Track Rubber - Tearing/Cuts
Fig 14.
Cause:
1 Stones and sharp material can tear the rubber at the
edges of the track.
2 Driving close to pavement edges and ridges - causing
the edges to be forcefully bent against the track
frame.
Prevention:
1 The life expectancy of a track is greatly reduced by
working on a site where sharp and pointed materials
are numerous. Operate the machine with attention to
the ground's surface in rough terrain, e.g. demolition
sites, rocky ground etc.
2 Drive the machine carefully, avoid driving over
projections, prevent the track edges from contacting
ridges etc.
Fig 15.
Additional Notes:
The track can be used as long as the cuts do not reach the
metallic components. When the cracks expose the steel
cords, the track must be replaced or repaired.
