Rubber shoe/pad usage
When using rubber shoe/pad , keep the following in
mind.
1
Rubber track tension
Correct tension adjustment is critical for
optimum performance. If the tension is too low,
detracking may occur and rubber shoe (shoes)
may become damaged as a result. For more
information about track tension checking, see
page

.

Ground condition
Use rubber shoe (shoes) only on pavement.
Otherwise the durability is rapidly reduced due
to the rubber shoe(s) cut-off and wear
especially on:
- concrete crushed pieces
- sand
- reinforcing bars
- projected pieces of glass
Do not use rubber shoe(s) when travelling on
concrete sideways, on rocky ground, or on
stony river beds.
