OPERATOR TIPS

Ensuring that all operators adopt proper usage habits guarantees a longer life for your machine. Since these machines work in rough terrain, it is impossible to avoid normal wear and tear entirely.

Here are a few tips to help minimize the impact of machine wear:

Keep undercarriage components clean and free of debris.
Limit the use of roller guards which can trap material against wearable parts.
Use center-punched shoes when working in wet sand, clay, or similar conditions.
Use the narrowest shoe possible that still provides sufficient flotation. Wider shoes produce increased wear on many components including bushings, sprockets, linkages, tracks, and rollers.
Keep your track properly adjusted. Track adjustment is something that can be done by your crew in the field, contact Blanchard if you need a technician to help you perform this important task.
