-
Check the fixing elements daily (bolts, nuts) for tightness.
-
For the first 100 hours, check the tensioning every 20 working hours. After the first 100 hours, make a check every 50 hours.
-
Check alignment every 100 hours.
-
Retighten shoes every 100 hours.
-
Every 300 hours check wear of support axle and its bushes.
-
In case of shoe reassembly or replacement, note the correct side for mounting the shoe fixing nut. The flat face of the nut must make contact with the link.
-
The chain, guide and drive wheels do not require lubrication.
-
Making curves always to the same side will cause more wear on one steel track than the other. In the event that such a practice cannot be avoided, the steel tracks must be replaced when they are worn
|
down to about 50%. For such, invert the position of the drive wheel and the support axle.
-
Tensioning must be performed whenever the deflection is outside specifications. With abrasive materials and soils that cause defection to build up, check tensioning more frequently.
-
Do not slip with steel tracks. This will increase wear on shoes much more than on any other component.
-
Use only original components. The use of non-original components will cause the steel track system to be unbalanced and will increase component wear.
-
Visually inspect the equipment daily.
-
Always use the narrowest possible shoe that provides adequate floating.
-
Reverse operation increases wear on bushes and drive wheel. If this happens at high speed, wear will be increased.
