Genesis GXP Jaw Armor 21
ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
At the 4- and 8-hour maintenance intervals it is important to check the Jaw Armor welds for crack
-
ing and wear. Any cracked or worn thin welds need to be addressed as soon as possible to keep
the plates from being torn loose, bent or lost. Cracked or worn welds should be ground or arc
gouged and re-welded using E7018 stick or equivalent wire. Follow all weld procedures and pre
-
cautions found in your Genesis GXP Mobile Shear Safety, Operator’s and Parts Manual.
Pay special attention to higher wear areas such as the top of the chin plate in front of the razor
blade
(Figure 22a)
, the area between the piercing tips on the front of the upper jaw
(Figure 22b)
, the
area above the piercing tips on the front of the upper jaw
(Figure 22c)
, the area behind the piercing
tips on the bottom of the upper jaw
(Figure 23a)
and the inside corner where Items 3 and 4 meet
(Figure 23b),
as these are areas where the welds are most subject to wear.
