Maintenance
The crushing wedge has space wear bars on both
the upper and lower slides. These wear bars may
need adjusting. Loosen 6 upper and 6 lower cap
screws and slide wear bars up to beam ange.
Leave 1/32 clearance between beam and wear
bar. If wear bars are worn too much, remove bars
and turn side to side. This will give a new side to
guide on. DO NOT ALLOW SLIDE BOLTS TO
LOOSEN. KEEP BOLTS TIGHT TO 100 FT-LBS &
ADJUST SLIDE PLATES IF NECESSARY.
