(1) The operating temperature of rubber tracks is generally between -25 and +55°C.
(2) Chemicals, oil, and salt in sea water will accelerate the aging of the crawler. Clean the crawler after use in such an environment.
(3) The road surface with sharp protrusions (such as steel bars, stones, etc.) can cause trauma to the rubber track. To
(4) Curbstones, ruts or uneven pavement will cause cracks on the grounding side of the track edge. Such cracks can continue to be used if the steel cord is not damaged. To
(5) Gravel and gravel roads will cause early wear and tear on the rubber surface in contact with the load-bearing wheels, forming small cracks. In severe cases, water invades, causing the core iron to fall off and the steel wire to break.
Precautions
Improper driving operation method is the most important factor for rubber track damage. Therefore, in order to protect the rubber track and prolong its service life, users must pay attention to the following matters when using the machine:
(1) Overload walking is prohibited. Overload walking will increase the tension of the rubber track and accelerate the wear of the core iron. In severe cases, the core iron will be broken and the steel cord will be broken.
(2) Don't turn sharply during walking. Sharp turns are very easy to cause damage to the track due to slipping, and it can also cause the guide wheel or the anti-falling guide rail to hit the core iron and cause the core iron to fall off.
(3) It is forbidden to forcibly climb steps, which will cause cracks in the roots of the pattern, and in severe cases, the steel cord will break.
(4) It is forbidden to walk on the edge of the steps by rubbing, otherwise it will interfere with the body after the edge of the crawler is rolled away, causing scratches and cuts on the edge of the crawler.
(5) It is forbidden to walk across the bridge, which is one of the main reasons for pattern damage and core breakage.
(6) It is forbidden to walk on a slope on a slope, as this will cause the track to fall off the wheels and cause damage.
(7) Frequently check the wear status of the driving wheels, guide wheels and support wheels. The heavily worn driving wheels will hook the core iron out and cause abnormal wear of the core iron. Such driving wheels must be replaced immediately.
(8) The rubber track should be maintained frequently and cleaned after being used in an environment with excessive sediment and chemicals. Otherwise it will accelerate the wear and corrosion of the rubber track.
In summary, users only need to pay attention to the above matters during use, and the life of the crawler will be extended accordingly.
