A consistent inspection routine helps owners keep track of their crawler tractor's condition throughout the working season. Use the operator's manual supplied with the machine as the reference for inspection points, service intervals and maintenance procedures.
Before work, check the items specified in the manual and look for visible damage, loose components or signs of leaks. Inspect the tracks and attachments as instructed. If anything appears abnormal, have it assessed before returning the machine to work.
After work, clean and store the tractor according to the manufacturer's instructions. Before inspection or maintenance, park securely, stop the engine and follow the manual's instructions for lowering attachments and isolating stored energy.
Keep a record of operating hours, completed services and replacement parts. When contacting the supplier for support, provide the machine identification, configuration and photographs of the issue so the correct maintenance information can be identified.
