3.3 PROHIBITIONS AND CAUTIONS WHEN USING RUBBER TRACKS Not observing these cautions in using rubber tracks will cause serious accidents or damage to the rubber tracks. Keep the followings in mind during the operation. • Working and slewing on the ground with broken stones, hard rock ground with great irregularity, reinforcing steels, iron scraps, and near the edge of the steel plates will damage the rubber tracks.
• Working where there is a large amount of large and small boulder stones such as river beds, the stones will go under the machine, tending to damage the rubber tracks or the rubber tracks tend to come off.
• Keep oil and chemical solvents away from the rubber tracks. If these materials come in contact with the rubber tracks, wipe it off immediately. Do not TRAVEL over the road surface where oil has built up.
• Do not go in an area where it is hot, such as with open fire, the steel plate left under the burning sun, or newly poured asphalt.
