In the event that one or both tracks need further adjustment after the machine has been restarted,
repeat the operations described previously, starting from machine lifting and taking the required
precautions.
-
Re-insert the head on the valve and begin to pump oil within the device until correct track roller tension
is achieved.
-
It is advisable to make the track turn idling, giving it the possibility to stop, if it is the case pump more
grease, always using the provided pump and the head.
USE OF THE MACHINE
In order to safeguard the integrity and functionality of the track, follow the recommendations and
specifications below:
- Avoid sudden steering and changes of direction when driving on road, in particular on
hard and rough terrain full of sharp and cutting edges, with a high degree of friction.
DO NOT COUNTERSTEER: To turn left or right, both when driving or standing, operate only
one track.
-
During driving avoid the tracks coming into contact with sharp and cutting parts or overhangs.
-
Avoid the tracks coming into contact with oils, solvents, fuel or other corrosive materials. Should
this occur, immediately clean and wash the tracks.
-
Avoid extended use of the machine on marine terrain or saline environment, since these
conditions further detachment of the metallic core of the rubber.
-
Due to the basic characteristics of the rubber of which the track is made, use at temperatures
between -25º and +55º C is recommended.
-
Avoid exposing the tracks to bad weather for extended periods. Sudden climatic variations further
premature ageing.
-
Possible wear of the crawler wheels may cause abrasions or detachment of the metallic core of
the tracks. Ensure timely replacement.
FAULTSAND MALFUNCTIONING
A - BREAKAGEOFTHETRACK STEEL CORDS
-
Excessive track tension combined with stones and loose materials which accumulate
between the track and the underbody.
-
Detachment of the track from the wheel guides.
-
Strong friction in case of successive and rapid changes of direction. B
- WEAR OR BREAKAGE OF THE METALLIC CORES
-
Excessive track tension.
-
Improper contact between crawler wheel and track (crawler wheel worn, debris between
crawler wheel and track, etc.).
-
Use on sandy terrain.
C - DETACHMENTOFMETALLICCOREFROMTHERUBBER
-
Excessive abrasion of the internal lateral parts of the track against the guide rollers
(excessive and sudden steering and counter-steering).
-
Spiking of worn crawler wheel during rotation.
D - ABRASIONS OR TEARS DUE TO FATIGUEOR EXTERNAL FACTORS:
-
Generally, these faults are caused by both the way the machine is used and the nature of
the place of operation.
-
These track alterations may be reduced, but not eliminated, by prudent and responsible
use of the machine, and do not require immediate replacement of the track, even if it has
almost come to the end of its life and it is time to replace it.
Replacement is also recommended in case the “tread” is down to about 2-5 mm.
