Rubber Track Loader
1. Product Safety
1-2
Protective Equipment
Always wear a hard hat, protective glasses, protec-
tive shoes and other protective equipment as re-
quired by job conditions when working around this
product. In particular, wear protective glasses when
pounding on any part of the product or its work tool
with a hammer or sledge. Use welders gloves,
hood/goggles, apron and other protective clothing
appropriate to the welding job being performed. Do
not wear loose clothing or jewelry that can catch on
parts of the product.
Mounting and Dismounting
Use steps and handholds when mounting or dis-
mounting a machine. Clean any mud or debris from
steps or work platforms before using them. Always
face the machine when using steps and handholds.
When it is not possible to use the designed access
system, provide ladders, scaffolds, or work platforms
to perform safe repair operations.
Lifting
Use a hoist when lifting components that weigh 23
kg (50 Ib) or more, to avoid back injury. Make sure
all chains, hooks, slings, etc., are in good condition
and are of the correct capacity. Be sure hooks are
positioned correctly and equipped with a spring
latch. Lifting eyes are not to be side loaded during a
lifting operation.
Hot Fluids and Parts
To avoid burns, be alert for hot parts on machines
that have just been stopped and hot fluids in lines,
tubes and compartments.
Be careful when removing fill caps, breathers and
plugs on the machine. Hold a rag over the cap or
plug to prevent being sprayed or splashed by liquids
under pressure. The danger is even greater if the
machine has just been stopped because fluids can
be hot.
Corrosion Inhibitor
Corrosion inhibitor contains alkali. Avoid contact with
eyes. Avoid prolonged or repeated contact with skin.
Do not take internally. In case of contact, wash skin
immediately with soap and water. For eyes, flush
with large amounts of water for at least 15 minutes.
Call Physician. Keep out of reach of children.
Batteries
Do not smoke when inspecting the battery electro-
lyte level. Never disconnect any charging unit circuit
or battery circuit cable from the battery when the
charging unit is operating. A spark can cause an
explosion from the flammable vapor mixture of hy-
drogen and oxygen that is released from the electro-
lyte through the battery outlets. Do not let electrolyte
solution make contact with skin or eyes. Electrolyte
solution is an acid. In case of contact, immediately
wash skin with soap and water. For eyes, flush with
large amounts of water for at least 15 minutes. Call
Physician. Keep out of reach of children.
Pressurized Items
1. Always use a board or a piece of cardboard
when you check for a leak. Leaking fluid under
pressure can penetrate body tissue. Fluid pene-
tration can cause serious injury and possible
death. A pin hole leak can cause severe injury. If
fluid is injected into your skin, get treatment im-
mediately. Seek treatment from a doctor that is
familiar with this type of injury.
2. Relieve all pressure in air, oil or water systems
before disconnecting or removing any lines, fit-
tings or related items. Always make sure all
raised components are blocked correctly and be
alert for possible pressure when disconnecting
any device from a system that utilizes pressure.
3. Lower the bucket, blade, or other work tool to
the ground before performing any work on the
machine. If this cannot be done, make sure the
bucket, blade, or other work tool is blocked cor-
rectly to prevent it from dropping unexpectedly.
4. Loose or damaged fuel, lubricant and hydraulic
lines, tubes and hoses can cause fires. Do not
bend or strike high-pressure lines or install ones
that have been bent or damaged. Check lines,
tubes and hoses carefully. Do not use your bare
hand to check for leaks.
5. Pressurized air or water can cause personal in-
jury. When pressurized air or water is used for
cleaning, wear a protective face shield, protec-
tive clothing, and protective shoes. The maxi-
mum air pressure for cleaning purposes must be
below 205 kPa (30 psi). When using a pressure
washer, keep in mind that nozzle pressures are
very high, generally pressures are well above
13790 kPa (2000 psi). Follow all recommended
practices provided by the pressure washer
manufacturer.

Repair
! WARNING !
Accidental machine starting can cause injury or death
to personnel working on the machine.
To avoid accidental machine starting, disconnect the
battery cables from the battery and tape the battery
clamps and remove the key.
Place a “Do Not Operate” tag prominently on the ma-
chine to inform personnel that the machine is being
worked on.
1. Disconnect battery and discharge any capacitor
before starting to work on the product. Attach a
Do Not Operate tag in the Operator's Compart-
ment.
2. If possible, make all repairs with the machine
parked on a level, hard surface. Block the ma-
chine to prevent it from rolling while working on
or under the machine.
3. Do not work on any machine that is supported
only by lift jacks or a hoist. Always use blocks or
jack stands to support the machine before per-
forming any service or disassembly.
4. Make sure the work area around the product is
made safe and be aware of hazardous condi-
tions that may exist. If an engine is started inside
an enclosure, make sure that the engine’s ex-
haust is properly vented.
5. Be sure all protective devices including guards
and shields are properly installed and function-
ing correctly before starting a repair. If a guard
or shield must be removed to perform the repair
work, use extra caution.
6. Always use tools that are in good condition and
be sure you understand how to use them before
performing any service work.
7. Replace all fasteners with the same part num-
ber. Do not use a lesser quality fastener if re-
placements are necessary.
8. Be prepared to stop an engine if it has been re-
cently overhauled or the fuel system has been
recently worked on. If the engine has not been
assembled correctly, or if the fuel settings are
not correct, the engine can possibly overspeed
and cause bodily injury, death or property dam-
age. Be prepared to shut off the fuel and air
supply to the engine in order to stop the engine.
9. Be careful when removing cover plates. Gradu-
ally back off the last two bolts or nuts located at
opposite ends of the cover or device. Then, pry
the cover loose to relieve any spring or other
pressure before removing the last two nuts or
bolts completely.
10. Repairs requiring welding should be performed
only with the benefit of the appropriate reference
information and by personnel adequately trained
and knowledgeable in welding procedures. De-
termine the type of metal being welded and se-
lect the correct welding procedures and
electrodes, rods or wire to provide a weld metal
equivalent at least to that of the parent weld.
11. Do not damage wiring during removal opera-
tions. Reinstall the wiring so it is not damaged
during installation or operation by contacting
sharp corners or by rubbing against some object
or hot surface.
12. Always use lift arm supports to keep lift arms
raised. Keep the work tool tilted down and as-
sure that all hydraulic pressure has been re-
lieved for maintenance or repair work that
requires the lift arms to be in the raised position.
13. Tighten connections to the correct torque. Make
sure that all heat shields, clamps and guards are
installed correctly to avoid excessive heat, vibra-
tion or rubbing against other parts during opera-
tion. Shields that protect against oil spray onto
hot exhaust components in event of a line, tube
or seal failure must be installed correctly.
14. Do not operate a machine if any rotating part is
damaged or contacts another part during opera-
tion. Any high-speed rotating component that
has been damaged or altered should be
checked for balance before reusing. Make sure
all protective devices, including guards and
shields, are properly installed and functioning
correctly before starting the engine or operating
the machine.
Work Tools
Only use work tools that are recommended by the
manufacturer of the machine.
Make sure that all necessary guarding is in place on
the host machine and on the work tool.
Wear protective glasses and protective equipment
as required by conditions or as recommended in the
work tool’s operation manual.

Ensure that all personnel are far enough away from
the work area so they will not be struck by flying ob-
jects.
Stay clear of the cutting edges, pinching surfaces or
crushing surfaces of the work tool while performing
any work tool maintenance, testing or adjustments.
Asbestos Information
Equipment and replacement parts shipped from the
manufacturer are asbestos free. When replacement
parts are required, use only genuine manufacturer’s
replacement parts
Use caution when handling replacement parts from
another supplier if these parts contain asbestos.
Avoid inhaling dust that might be generated when
handling these components or when handling
asbestos debris. Inhaling this dust can be hazardous
to your health.
The components that may contain asbestos fibers
are lining material, and some gaskets. The asbestos
that is used in these components is usually encased
in a resin or sealed in some way. Normal handling is
not hazardous unless airborne dust containing as-
bestos is generated.
If dust that may contain asbestos is present, there
are several guidelines that should be followed.
1. Never use compressed air for cleaning. Avoid
brushing or grinding materials that contain as-
bestos. Use a wet method to clean up asbestos
debris. A vacuum that is equipped with the high-
efficiency particulate air filter (HEPA filter) can
also be used.
2. Use exhaust ventilation on permanent machin-
ing jobs.
3. Wear an approved respirator if there is no other
way to control the dust.
4. Comply with applicable rules and regulations for
the work place. In the USA, use Occupational
Safety and Health Administration requirements.
These OSHA requirements can be found in 29
CFR 1910.1001.
5. Obey environmental regulations for disposal of
asbestos.
6. Stay away from areas that might have asbestos
particles in the air.
! WARNING !
When replacement parts are required for this product,
use only genuine manufacturer’s replacement parts or
parts with equivalent specifications including, but not
limited to physical dimensions, type, strength and
material.
Failure to heed this warning can lead to premature
failures, product damage, personal injury or death.
