4.2.3 Wear limits Track components must be replaced when they

Wear on the track components is due to move-
ment, loading and ground contact, as well as to the
hardness (abrasiveness) of the ground.
Wear can also be increased by the following fac-
tors:
1. unstable position of excavator because of un-
even ground.
2. one-sided stressing of the tracks when turning
on the spot.
3. Driving over obstacles.
4. High amount of travelling.
have worn down to between 75 and 100%.
Sudden failure is otherwise pre-programmed.
Careful and regular measurements are necessary
to determine the extent of wear and to be ready for
component exchange when it is necessary.
Before measuring components, clean them thor-
oughly. Measure at several points. It is not the
average, but the maximum wear value that is to be
taken as wear limit.
Because the wear life between 75 and 100% is
low, we recommend that components be changed
as a preventive measure as soon as the 75% limit
has been reached. Exchange can take place while
other servicing is being carried out.
