8.4 TRACK ROTATION
•
Over time, tracks may wear unevenly. That has no adverse impact on system operation. Still, we recommend rotating
the tracks from side to side after 1,000 hours of normal use or 500 hours of intensive use (heavy load and road travel).

8.5 RECOMMENDATION WHEN TRAVELLING ON ROAD
•
Using rubber tracks on roads requires a minimum of precaution. The following information are about track behavior
under certain conditions and what you can do to maximize the longevity of your system.
•
Like a tire, the worst enemy of a rubber track is heat.
•
The combination of higher speeds and heavy loads, as well as uneven road conditions, may lead to track overheating
and perhaps premature damage to rubber tracks, wheels and other components.
•
To avoid this kind of inconvenience, Soucy Track recommends adjusting your speed on long distance trips, hot
pavement or uneven road surface.
•
To find out if a rubber track is overheating, the rule of thumb is to hand feel the internal wheel path of the track as
well as the rubber surface of the wheels. If your hand can stand the heat, the track is not overheating. Please ensure
verifying the inside wheels and corresponding wheel path (wheel point toward the vehicle) as they may be affected
by concave road.
•
If overheating occurs, simply try slowing down or, if possible, unload the vehicle.
