CLEANING
Keep driving system cleaned and
properly maintained. Remove any
debris or mud which could interfere
with the operation of the machine.
If mud and debris is allowed in the
under carriage it can plug the
spring loaded tensioner preventing
it from relieving stress on the track
when traveling over irregular
surfaces. Mud can build up on the
track rollers thereby over
tensioning and stretching the track
or the rollers can stop turning and
then scrub on the track creating
wear and failure.
Wash fuel and oil from the tracks.
REPAIR
In order to prevent bonding or corrosion failures, tracks should be repaired immediately when
damaged.
Minor cracks in the rubber can be filled with rubber repair compound.
Once the steel cords have failed, the track is no longer serviceable.
