Maintenance Intervals
Use the pulling machine hour meter to determine servicing intervals. Calendar intervals
are also shown and can be used instead of hour intervals. Recommended service should
always occur on the interval that occurs first.
Under extremely dusty or wet operating conditions more frequent lubrication may be
needed.
Perform service on items at multiples of the original requirement. For example, at every
annual or 250 hour service interval, also service items listed under monthly or 100 hours,
weekly or 50 hours, and daily or 10 hours.
Camso Product Identification Number
The track system PIN plates will display the model and manufacturing date and sequence
number on both LH and RH undercarriage system. If a serialized axle is also provided by
Camso, it will also have a plate installed in the center of the axle.

3.0 GENERAL INFORMATION
3.1 Technical Description
The Camso TTS allows machines to move on muddy and soft soils which have limited
carrying capacity. The wide supporting surface of the track system also reduces soil
compaction.
Camso track systems are mounted on an axle frame. Certain equipment requires a
special axle to be installed prior to track system installation. Please contact your dealer
for more information.
Camso track systems are designed to maximize the performance and productivity of your
pull-behind applications with:
•Even weight distribution to easily and safely handle uneven terrain
•Excellent flotation to minimize soil disturbance (40 - 70% ground pressure reduction vs. tires)
•Maximum reliability to assure you get the job done anytime, anywhere

CPB-515 Operation and Maintenance Manual –TTS 45, 70, 80,100, 110 Series (10-2017) 6
TTS uses Camso rubber tracks, specifically designed for pull-behind applications to
provide:
•Reduced vibration during transport
•Lower turning resistance
•Minimal soil disturbance
•Long life
The patented undercarriage design incorporates independent movement of the midrollers
both front-rear and side-side delivering:
•Even weight distribution, allowing tracks to follow ground contours
•A smooth ride over rough terrain
•Reduced point loads increasing longevity of the undercarriage and implement
components
Besides the above listed characteristics, Camso rubber track systems introduce other
advantages:
Reduced power absorption on soft soils
Minimal possibility of rubber track de-tracking from the undercarriage
Adequate roading speed
Limited soil damage, soil even during end of field maneuvers
Reduced risk of self-sinking in the mud in case of slipping
3.2 Track System Components

Frame
The main frame consists of a weldment which hangs the front and rear link arms. The
front alignment yoke and rear tension link are cast members, allowing for close tolerance
machining and structural rigidity.
Axles
Front and rear axles are machined from the yoke castings, allowing for dimensional
stability and few moving parts. They feature oil bath hubs mounted on tapered bearings
and mechanical seals for extreme working conditions. Each hub has its own oil reservoir
with access port for maintenance and checking oil levels.
Idlers and Midrollers
The idlers have the function of guiding the rubber track by acting on the lateral surfaces of
the guide lugs. Inner sides of idlers are subject to wear, but can be rotated to extend life.
The midrollers distribute the majority of the machine weight to the ground. They are
mounted on pivoting arms connected to the frame reducing vibration and shock loads.
Tensioning system
The tensioning system is located between the 2 rear idlers. The tension force is provided
by a mechanical spring mechanism. Track tension is provided by the spring and does not
need adjustment during operation and changing field conditions. Provisions are made to
compress the spring allowing for removal of idlers and track assemblies during
maintenance and servicing.
Rubber track
The rubber tracks are manufactured with high quality rubber and high strength steel
cabling inside for superior durability and reliability. The tread layout ensures good
flotation, excellent life, and self-cleaning characteristics.

WARNING
Exceeding maximum weight capacity may result in equipment and
property damage, injury, death and void warranty coverage
3.5 Transport Limitations
Camso track systems are designed for field use and field operational speeds. High speed
transport, especially with loaded implements, is not recommended and may result in track
damage due to heat. If extended transport is required between operating locations, the
following speed and duration limits should be observed:
Operating
Condition
Transport Speed
(Maximum)
Transport Duration
(Maximum)
Empty
15 mph (24 kph)
30 min.
Loaded
10 mph (16 kph)
15 min.
WARNING
Exceeding speed limitations may result in equipment and property
damage, injury, death and void warranty coverage.

CPB-515 Operation and Maintenance Manual –TTS 45, 70, 80,100, 110 Series (10-2017) 9
If additional distances are required, a 30 minute cool down period is recommended before
transport is resumed. Absolute speed and duration levels may vary, depending on system
type and ambient conditions. Limitations as listed, help avoid system heat buildup that
could cause reduction in track life.
3.6 Minimum Turning Radius Limitations
Camso track systems operate best when running straight or in gentle turns. If a track
system is pivot or spot turned, the opportunity exists for soil and dirt to be ingested into
the system. Even though TTS has a tension recoil system, if that tension recoil is
exceeded, high loads in the frame and track can be generated which may cause track or
system damage, Camso recommends that minimum turning radius limits be strictly
observed, both in the field, and also on hard ground or pavement, to avoid high stresses
due to debris ingestion, potential untracking situations, high twisting and side loads, and
significant ground scrubbing of the track treads, especially if such a turn is attempted with
fully loaded or folded systems.

3.7 Operational Guidelines
Any application differing from the ones prescribed in this manual are to be considered
improper and potentially dangerous.
Correct track tension is required for best performance and track life.
Camso TTS can work in extreme conditions: for operator and machine safety, be sure
to know your surroundings.
Camso TTS is free to pivot around the main axle following ground contours. During
transition over uneven ground terrain, check for interferences and move slowly to
avoid over oscillating the undercarriage.
Overall width and height of machine/equipment with Camso TTS could differ from the
original width and height with tires. Be sure to know actual machine height and width
as well as width restrictions prior to operation.
Cross large ground irregularities with suitable speed reduction and/or proper incidence
angle. In particular, when high, sharp bumps are crossed move forward slowly to avoid
shocks on the machine.
Camso TTS does not damage standard road-bed constructions. Operators must know
and respect road traffic laws.
Rubber tracks have not been designed for extended use on the road. Camso is not
responsible for track and system damage resulting for extended road use. Long road
periods and/or roading at higher than recommended maximum speeds may cause
premature wear or failure of the track or wheels. To reduce damage during roading
decrease overall machine weight and decrease machine speed, see “Transport
Limitations” section for further information.
Long runs on side slopes increase the wear on the side of guide lugs and idlers.
Keep material out of the undercarriage. Inspect undercarriage daily and remove any
material as necessary. In some conditions inspect more frequently.
If a machine becomes stuck, clear away as much material from the undercarriage as
possible prior to pulling the machine out.
Avoid short turning radius turns and operation(s) especially when loaded. Spot turning
creates debris ingestion and can also induce high torque loading in the system.
Configure drawbar and hitch correctly during field operation(s).
Use caution when operating track systems in loose, flowing material. Loose material
can become trapped between track and idlers, resulting in track damage.
Keep material out of the undercarriage. This may require scraping material out of tight
places and in some conditions require frequent inspection and cleaning
