The wear shoes should always be shimmed to allow the carrier to travel in the direction of the side to
side movement, thus aligning the carrier with the cylinders. If the carrier shifts to the right at the
bottom wear shoes, then the following adjustments would be made, depending upon the looseness of
the wear shoes inside the tracks:
Š
Add shim(s) to the left bottom wear shoe
Š
Remove shim(s) from the right bottom wear shoe
Š
Add shim(s) to the right upper wear shoe
Š
Remove shim(s) from the left upper wear shoe
To adjust the wear shoes, apply the following procedure:
1.
Shift the control levers and cycle the unit several times while observing the wear shoes and action
of the packer and carrier panels. Watch for sideways movement or twisting to determine which
wear shoes must be adjusted.
2.
Remove capscrews (1), lockwashers (2), spacers (3) and cover weldments (4) for both upper
and lower track holes on each side of the tailgate.
