OPERATING MACHINEUsing Rubber CrawlerRubber crawlers are designed to allow the machine to travelwithout damaging road surfaces such as paved road surfaces.Avoid damage to the rubber crawlers by following theprecautions below:Forbidden Operations1. Do not operate or steer the machine on or near riverterrace,boulder and boulder mixed ground, crushedstoneground, uneven hardpan surfaces, stumps,reinforcing bars, scraps, and steel plate edges. Failure todo so may shorten the service life of the rubber crawlersto a great extent.2. Do not leave engine oil, fuel, and other kinds oflubricants remaining on the rubber crawlers, and avoidtraveling on road surface covered with oil to reduce thedanger of sliding.3. Do not travel the machine while raising one side crawleroff the ground with the front attachment. Shear ordamage to the rubber crawler may result.M1M7-05-015dPrecautions for Using Rubber CrawlersWARNING: The rubber crawler machine is less stablethan the steel crawler machine, as the edge of therubber crawler is easier to deform more than steelcrawler. Pay attention when operating the machineat an angle to the tracks.1. Do not store the rubber crawlers in a place where theywill be exposed to direct sunlight for a period of morethan three months.2. Avoid unnecessary steering operations on concreteroads, possibly resulting in premature wear of shoe lugsand core metals. Also, avoid operating the machine onhigh temperature [over 60 °C (140 °F)] road surfacesduring asphalt pavement work, possibly causingpremature wear of the rubber crawlers as well asdamage to the road surface.M1M7-05-0165-17
