Rubber Shoes Information
Rubber shoes have excellent properties that are not found in steel shoes. However, if they are used in the same
way as steel shoes, full use cannot be made of their advantages.
Be sure to operate without straining the rubber shoes in a way that matches the condition of the jobsite and the
nature of the work.

Considering the properties of the material used, rubber shoes offer various advantages. However, their weak point
is lack of strength. Therefore, it is important to understand the advantages of rubber shoes, and to follow the
precautions regarding handling and prohibited work. This will extend the life of the rubber shoes and will enable the
machine to display the advantages of rubber shoes to the maximum. Before using rubber shoes, always read "Using
Rubber Shoes (PAGE 3-89)".
Warranty For Rubber Shoes
It is important to inspect and maintain the tracks at the correct tension. Furthermore, these shoes must not be used
near objects where they are likely to suffer damage, such as the corners of steel plates, U-shaped ditch liners,
blocks, on crushed rock or the sharp edges of rocks, iron beams, or scrap iron.
Any damage resulting from the customer's mistaken use of the machine shall not be included in the scope of the
warranty.
