EXCERPT:
Replacement:
When the cracks reach so deep that they expose the steel cords, track replacement is required.
Causes Of The Damage:
Because of wound stress applied to rubber tracks around the undercarriage parts during operation, the fatigue especially causes cracks on the lug side rubber surface.
Once the cracks occur, they gradually deteriorate with even small external cracks. Also when operating near seashores or under cold temperatures, rubber tracks are more likely to suffer from ozone cracks.
Prevention:
Rubber tracks are designed with special rubber compounds to prevent cracks due to fatigue. However, external injuries on the lug side rubber sometimes cause more chance of cracking. Machine operators should observe soil conditions when driving, so as not to cause external injuries to the lug side rubber. In order to minimize the occurrence of ozone cracks, attention should be paid to the following instructions for maintenance:
Avoid exposing stored tracks to direct sun light.
Avoid exposing stored tracks to direct rain and snow fall.
Store tracks in well ventilated warehouses.
Use the tracks at least once a month.
