SAS FORKS™ SKID PLATE INSPECTION
MAXIMIZE SAS FORKS™ LIFE WITH SKID PLATE MAINTENCE
To get the maximum life from your SAS FORK™ carriage, always keep the skid plates on the
bottom. Periodic inspection of the skid plates is needed. Order factory replacement skid plates
from S.A.S. of Luxemburg, Ltd. when they are worn thin (about 1/8”).
Carriage Skid Plates: Failure to keep skid plates on the carriage will result in structural damage to
the carriage and could result in tearing out one or both blades and necessitating the purchase of a
new carriage.
The “carriage” is also referred to as the “shoe”, as shown in the diagram below.
DO NOT MAKE UNAUTHORIZED WELDS TO SAS FORKS™
To prolong the life of the SAS FORK™ assembly, do not weld on the forks except as shown in
this diagram. If you need to make any other repairs on the SAS FORKS™, please contact S.A.S.
of Luxemburg, Ltd. Engineering and discuss the situation with them.
