Using Rubber Crawler<br />
OPERATING MACHINE<br />
Rubber crawlers are designed to allow the machine to travel<br />
without damaging road surfaces such as paved road surfaces.<br />
Avoid damage to the rubber crawlers by following the<br />
precautions below:<br />
d<br />
Forbidden Operations<br />
1. Do not operate or steer the machine on or near riverterrace,<br />
boulder and boulder mixed ground, crushedstone<br />
ground, uneven hardpan surfaces, stumps,<br />
reinforcing bars, scraps, and steel plate edges. Failure to<br />
do so may shorten the service life of the rubber crawlers<br />
to a great extent.<br />
2. Do not leave engine oil, fuel, and other kinds of<br />
lubricants remaining on the rubber crawlers, and avoid<br />
traveling on road surface covered with oil to reduce the<br />
danger of sliding.<br />
3. Do not travel the machine while raising one side crawler<br />
off the ground with the front attachment. Shear or<br />
damage to the rubber crawler may result.<br />
Precautions for Using Rubber Crawlers<br />
<strong>WARNING</strong>: The rubber crawler machine is less stable<br />
than the steel crawler machine, as the edge of the<br />
rubber crawler is easier to deform more than steel<br />
crawler. Pay attention when operating the machine<br />
at an angle to the tracks.<br />
1. Do not store the rubber crawlers in a place where they<br />
will be exposed to direct sunlight for a period of more<br />
than three months.<br />
2. Avoid unnecessary steering operations on concrete<br />
roads, possibly resulting in premature wear of shoe lugs<br />
and core metals. Also, avoid operating the machine on<br />
high temperature [over 60 °C (140 °F)] road surfaces<br />
during asphalt pavement work, possibly causing<br />
premature wear of the rubber crawlers as well as<br />
damage to the road surface.<br />
