Carry out a test drive – Check the tension of the rubber tracks.

- The pressure must not fall below 8500 kPa (85 bar, 586 psi).

- If the pressure falls below this minimum value, the rubber tracks must be tightened again (see Tightening the rubber tracks).

Danger!

When starting the machine, persons are on the machine or in its hazard area.

Death or serious injury.

– Before starting the machine ensure that there are no persons or objects in the hazardous area.

– Drive to a flat road, if possible with a long, straight stretch of 1.6 km (1 mile).

- If the straight stretch is less than 1.6 km (1 mile) long, continue driving as far as possible after the last curve before stopping.

– Drive the machine forwards at top road speed.

– Avoid steering as much as possible.

– Bring the machine to stop without steering.

Measure the temperatures of the guide blocks Take the measurement immediately after stopping.

The measurement points (1) are located at a distance (Y) = 45 mm (1.77 in) from the foot of the guide block.

Take measurements at measurement points (1) on the inside and outside of the guide block at the top of the rubber track.

7.2.6 Inspection of rubber track / track roller unit The rubber track consists of several wire layers. The wires are similar to those used in car tyres. The most important wire layer is the one which is about 8 mm (0.3 inches) away from the inside of the track. These wires are referred to as the zero-degree belt (1). The zero-degree belt absorbs the rubber track tension.

There are further wire belts between the zero-degree belt and the outside of the track. These wires are referred to as the intermediate belt (2). Intermediate wires are arranged at different angles in order to provide lateral stability. Moreover, the intermediate belts protect the zero-degree belt.

29 7588

When a wire is exposed to moisture because of cuts or grooves in the rubber, it may rust. Each exposed wire should be repaired as quickly as possible. Please contact a local dealer.

Every wire projecting from a damaged zero-degree belt from the track must be repaired. Repair the wire by cutting or grinding it off. You must cut or grind it off so that it disappears under the track surface.This will prevent further damage.

When you break in the track under very moist conditions or under dry and clean conditions, the rubber may chafe. The chafing may last for up to 400 operating hours. The surface of the guide blocks may appear slightly or heavily worn. Even material abrasion may occur. Even when chafing affects the optical appearance of the track, it will not affect the service life of the guide blocks.

When chafing goes hand in hand with high guide block temperatures, please contact a local dealer.

7 Maintenance 7.2 Maintenance schedules 30574

Cuts, nicks and slight wear of the guide blocks (3) will not cause any operating problems. But if two or more adjacent guide blocks on the rubber track are missing, the track must be replaced. A rubber track with two or more adjacent guide blocks missing can become detached from the machine. This can cause damage to other components of the ground drive.

4 3

30

If parts of the cleats (4) become separated from the track, this will not seriously impair traction. Replace the track when the cleats are less than 13 mm (0.5 inch) high and when the track slippage consistently exceeds 10 percent.

Rubber parts may come off of the following chassis components: • Idlers (5) • Supporting wheels (6) • Drive wheels (7)

6

The rubber may come off of the components because stones or foreign objects get into the chassis. Replace the idler/centre wheels when they are worn by more than 50 percent.

7 31 7589

74

Replace the drive wheel (7) when rubber missing on the drive wheel results in slip between the idler and the drive wheel.
