Steel Cord - Sticking Out
Cause:
1 Strands of the steel cord may sometimes stick out of
the rubber track. This is caused by the friction of the
sprocket against the edges of the track sprocket
holes.

Fig 13.
Additional Notes:
Individual strands of steel cord sticking out of the track
does not necessarily mean the track needs to be replaced.
Individual strands can be cut off (the number of steel cord
strands is always over specified), however exposed
strands should be repaired immediately (see
recommended repair procedures).
