spin turns.
• One joystick forward more than other: pivot
turns. CAUTION
If possible, avoid traveling over broken or
jagged stone, metal objects, on other sharp
objects that could damage or cut the tracks.

If possible, avoid traveling in areas with loose

rocks that could get stuck in the tracks, or
between the tracks and the track wheels.

Avoid using the machine in salt water areas.

Salt can corrode the metal cores in the tracks.

Clean any fuel, oil, salt, fertilizer or chemical

solvents that might get on the tracks. These
substances could corrode the metal cores in the
tracks.

Avoid traveling on roads immediately after

asphalting, or on other hot surfaces or over
fires. Damage to the tracks could result.

If climbing steps or cobblestone, avoid climbing

at an angle. Climb straight up the slope and do
not change course at the top of the slope.

When climbing slopes. Do not suddenly change

course at the point where the slopes starts.

Avoid traveling with one track on a slope or

other raised surface and the other track on a flat
surface.

Avoid sharp and spin turns on concrete

surfaces.

Avoid drops that cause severe blows to the

tracks.

Avoid rubbing the sides of the tracks against

walls or other vertical surfaces.

NOTE: Track damage caused by heavy and/or

abusive use is not covered under warranty.
Damaged tracks cannot be repaired and must
be replaced.

Printed in U.S.A. 73 918468/EP0313

Operation
To extend track life, track tension is loosened when
the engine is not running. When the engine is
started, the tracks automatically adjust to the correct
tension. Monitor the tracks at startup to ensure
proper operation of automatic track tensioning.
Tracks running loose can de-track. Over-tightened
tracks can cause power loss, excessive roller and
idler bearing wear, and track tearing.

Tracks and undercarriage should be cleaned on a

regular basis. Mud or debris buildup in the track
rollers or undercarriage structure can cause track
wear, the tracks to be crowded off the rollers, and
may even prevent roller rotation, leading to roller or
track failure.

Change turning direction whenever possible.

Always turning to the same side can accelerate wear
of sprocket teeth, track tread, guide lugs and roller
flanges.

Unnecessarily spinning the tracks can cause

accelerated wear or track cutting. Use the engine
power and lift/tilt hydraulics to dig into material,
when filling a bucket, to minimize track slippage.

Avoid making spin turns or pivot turns, which can

cause accelerated wear and de-tracking. Make wide
turns whenever possible.

Don’t allow the track sides to strike against concrete

curbs or walls.

Working in heavily stone-laden soils or conditions

may cause tracks to be de-tracked or damaged due
to stones becoming lodged in the idler or drive
sprockets.

Rubber tracks are not intended for use in any type of

quarry application, recycling or demolition use.

Rubber track loaders are not intended for use with

cold planers.

Avoid routinely driving and turning on asphalt and

concrete to minimize wear.

WARNING
Avoid tilting a bucket back when the lift arm is
fully raised. Material may fall over the rear of the
bucket and onto the operator's position.

When on slopes, always set the lift arm to the

transport position (“Attachment Transport
Position” on page 76) and tilt the bucket fully
back.

Secure heavy or awkward loads. If necessary, fit

the rear of the bucket with a guard to prevent
material from falling out of the back of the
bucket.

Whenever possible, drive in reverse when

transporting a bucket loaded with material down
a steep slope.

Make sure you have a good view of the material

you are digging, and of the area you will be
working in.

2. Pull up on handle (B) inside the top left lip of the

rear door. Swing the door open to access engine
components.
NOTE: Opening the rear door all the way engages
stop (S, Fig. 84), which holds the door open.

Closing Engine Covers

1. Lift up on the rear door stop (S), and firmly close
the rear door.
NOTE: It is important for the rear door to close
and latch completely, so the top engine cover latch
aligns properly with the pin on the rear door.
Incomplete latching of the rear door/top cover may
cause latches to stick.

Hydraulic Hose Maintenance

WARNING
Hydraulic hoses and connections must be
inspected by a trained technician before the first
use of the machine, and at least annually
thereafter, for leaks and/or damage. Fig. 101 – Hydraulic Hose Manufacture Date

Leakages and damaged pressure hose/lines

must be immediately repaired or replaced by an
authorized service center.

Never use your hands to check for suspected

hydraulic leaks. Always use a piece of wood or
cardboard.

Leaks from hydraulic hoses or pressurized

components can be difficult to see, but
pressurized oil can have enough force to pierce
the skin and cause serious injury.

Obtain immediate medical attention if

pressurized oil pierces the skin. Failure to
obtain prompt medical assistance could result
in gangrene or other serious damage to tissue.

Always relieve hydraulic system pressure

before performing any maintenance on the
machine. Do not tighten leaking connections
when the hydraulic system is under pressure.

Never weld or solder damaged or leaking

pressure lines and/or screw connections.
Always replace damaged hydraulic
components.
