Inspect wear plates (K, L, M, P) for excessive wear or damage. If the wear plates have excessive wear or damage, the wear plates must be replaced.
Note: New wear plates contain cracks, due to the hardness of the material. Cracks on new wear plates are not caused from wear or damage.

Replace the Wear Plates

Clean the work tool.

Place the work tool in a horizontal position. Open the jaws of the work tool.

Lock the jaws in an open position. Refer to , "Inspect the Wear Plates" for more information.

Remove teeth at jaw location (Y) .

Grind away the welds in order to remove the wear plates (K, L, M, P) . The existing wear plates can only be removed by grinding off the wear plates.

Grind the surface of the end plate (Z) . The surface should be clean and free of rust.

Personal injury can result from flame cutting or welding on painted areas.
The effect of gasses from burned paint is a hazard to the person doing the cutting or welding.

Do not flame cut or weld on painted areas.

Measure to the top of the wear plates

Note: New wear plates contain cracks, due to the hardness of the material. Cracks on new wear plates are not caused from wear or damage.

Tack weld the new wear plates (K, L, M, P) to the end plate (Z) of the jaw. Check for proper positioning. Refer to table 2 and illustrations 8, 9, 10 and 11 for dimensions and part numbers of the wear plates (K, L, M, P) .

Preheat the surface of the end plate (Z) to 150 °C (302 °F) to 200 °C (392 °F).

In order to weld the wear plate (K, L, M, P) , use welding material AWS A5.18: ER70S-6.

Cool the weld slowly to room temperature. Wrap the weld in an insulating blanket in order to allow the weld to cool over several hours.
Note: Replacing the wear plates should be performed at the end of the day. Replace the wear plates at a time when the weld will have plenty of time to cool. The weld should have plenty of time in order to cool before the jaw set is placed back into operation.
