428, 432, 438 and others with this foot type
The stabilizer rubber pad is a key protective component, essential when working on delicate, paved surfaces such as asphalt, paving stones, or concrete. Its job is to protect the ground from being scratched and damaged by the steel foot. If your pad is cracked, has deep chunks missing, is worn through, or falls off the foot, it is time for a replacement. Working with a damaged or missing rubber pad leads to costly surface damage and is unprofessional.
Before fitting the new rubber pad, carefully clean the steel foot of dirt, mud, and rust. This will ensure a perfect fit and prevent premature wear.
Make sure the metal foot itself is not bent or cracked. Fitting a new rubber pad to a damaged foot can cause it to fail quickly.
To provide the machine with an even and stable base, always replace both rubber pads (left and right) at the same time. Different heights of worn pads can cause instability.
After installation, ensure all bolts and retainers are correctly tightened to avoid losing the pad during operation.
Answer: Yes, this is very likely. A worn, smooth rubber surface loses its anti-slip properties. A new pad with a clear tread will provide much better grip.
Question: Can I work in the dirt without these rubber pads?Answer: Yes. The rubber pads are designed for work on paved surfaces. When working in rough terrain (mud, dirt), they can be removed or flipped up (depending on the mounting type) to allow the steel "grousers" to dig in properly.
Question: Why did my new rubber pad wear out quickly?Answer: The most common cause is frequent turning of the machine on lowered stabilizers, which causes friction and abrasion. You should also check that the steel foot underneath does not have any sharp, damaged edges.
