TRACK SYSTEM OPERATIONAL GUIDELINES
• Any application differing from the ones prescribed in this manual is to be considered improper and potentially
dangerous.
• Correct track tension is required for best performance and track life.
• Track system can work in extreme conditions: for operator and machine safety, be sure to know your surroundings.
• Track system is free to pivot around the main axle following ground conformation.
• During transition over uneven ground terrain, check for interferences and move slowly to avoid
over-oscillating the undercarriage.
• Overall width and height of machine/equipment with track system could differ from the original width and height
with tires. Be sure to know actual machine height and width as well as width restrictions prior to operation.
• Cross large ground irregularities with suitable speed reduction and/or proper incidence angle. In particular, when
high, sharp bumps are crossed move forward slowly to avoid shocks on the machine.
• The track system does not damage standard road-bed constructions. Operators must know and respect road
traffic laws.
Rubber tracks have not been designed for extended use on the road. Kinze is not responsible for track and system
damage resulting for extended road use. Long road periods and/or roading at higher than recommended maximum
speeds may cause premature wear or failure of the track or wheels. To reduce damage during roading, decrease
overall machine weight and decrease machine speed, refer to “Track Transport Speeds” on page 2-17” for further
information.
• Long runs on side slopes increase the wear on the side of guide lugs and idlers.
• Keep material out of the undercarriage. Inspect undercarriage daily and remove any material as necessary. In
some conditions inspect more frequently.
• If a machine becomes stuck, clear away as much material from the undercarriage as possible prior to pulling the
machine out.
• Avoid short turning radius turns and operation(s) especially when loaded. Spot turning creates debris ingestion
and can also induce high torque loading in the system.
• Configure drawbar and hitch correctly during field operation(s).
• Use caution when operating track systems in loose, flowing material. Loose material can become trapped
between track and idlers, resulting in track damage.
• Keep material out of the undercarriage. This may require scraping material out of tight places and in some
conditions require frequent inspection and cleaning.
