HANDLE ROAD LINERS
(Road liner specification)
RECOMMENDED USE OF ROAD LINERS
The road liners have good features the steel shoes do not have. However, if they are used in the same manner
as the steel shoes are, the features are not used fully.
Perform the optimum operation according to the condition of the site and contents of work.
COMPARISON OF ROAD LINERS AND STEEL SHOES
No risk of damaging pavement
◎: Very good
○: Good
△: Fair
The road liners have many advantages for the performance unique to their material, but the weak point is the
strength. Accordingly, you can extend the service life of the road liner and use their advantages fully by under-
standing their features and observing the prohibited matter and precautions for handling.
Before using, be sure to read “PRECAUTIONS WHEN USING ROAD LINERS”.
WARRANTY OF ROAD LINERS
The warranty does not cover any damage caused by a customer's mistake, including neglect of check and
maintenance of the track tension, disregard of prohibited matter such as “operation on the corners of a steel
plate, a U-bend trap, a concrete block, reinforcing bars, scrap steel, etc. which can cut the road liner” and pre-
cautions.
PRECAUTIONS WHEN USING ROAD LINERS
Prohibited operations
Do not perform the following work.
• If the machine is operated or swung on crushed stones, very irregular hard rock-bed, reinforcing bars, scrap
steel, edges of steel plates, the road liner can be damaged.
• In a riverbed, etc. where there are many large boulders, the road liner may be damaged by stones caught
in them and may come off the rollers. If the machine is used to doze forcibly while the shoes slip, the serv-
ice lives of the road are shortened.
• Take care that oil, fuel, or chemical solvent does not stick to the road liner. If any of them sticks, wipe it off
immediately. Do not travel on a road where oil, etc. is accumulated.
• When storing the machine for a long period (3 months or more), store it indoors to avoid direct sunlight and
rain.
• Do not drive the machine into a high temperature place such as a bonfire, steel plate exposed to the hot
sun, newly spread asphalt, etc.
• If the rubber parts of the road liner are worn and damaged and the mounting bolt heads are damaged, re-
place the shoes with new ones immediately. If the head of a bolt is crushed, that bolt cannot be removed.
