OPERATING THE MACHINE

Do Not Use Wide Track Shoes on Rough Ground.

Never use wide track shoes on rough ground such as rocks,
sand or gravel. Wide track shoes are designed for soft ground.
Failure to do so may result in shoe bending and/or shoe bolt
loosening, and may damage other undercarriage components
such as track link and rollers.
(Refer to the "Shoe Types and Applications" in the
Specifications section.)
