Pre-Start Inspection and Operation
The “cogging” condition is most likely to occur while operating in a forward direction pulling a
heavy load, and during the first 50 hours of track usage. It is caused by the tension spring being
fully compressed due to high track load. If a cogging condition occurs, immediately stop
machine travel and machine functions and reverse travel direction slightly to de-compress track
tension. Continued cogging will cause the track drive sprocket to seat into the rubber track
incorrectly, and cause damage to the track. If cogging occurs, stop travel function and check for
and remove any debris or foreign matter in the drive system, check track for proper tension as
shown in Section 4 of this manual, and resume operation.
