1.2 Prepare Lip

1.  If needed, remove old shrouds.

2.  Clean lip top, bottom, front, and counterbores completely 

of debris with needle scaler and wire brush to bare 
metal. See 

Figure 1.2.1 

and

 Figure 1.2.2. 

3.  Inspect lip and correct for uneven surfaces in the fit 

contact regions that may prevent the shroud from 
seating on the lip. 

1.1 Component Preparation

1.  The machine and bucket must be blocked against hazardous motion.
2.  The machine and bucket must be positioned and oriented to provide safe access to perform the work described 

below. Before performing any work, a risk assessment in accordance with worksite requirements must be 
performed to identify potential hazards, and establish safe procedures for completing the necessary tasks.

3.  Energy and machinery isolation – Isolate, lock, tag, release energy and test for dead.
4.  Shroud nuts are delivered with top and bottom dust covers. Remove and discard before installing the shroud.

1. Installation

WARNING:

 

Unsecured equipment may move by external impact force or accidental machine position change. When 

working around the bucket, ensure that the bucket is blocked against motion and the machine is isolated, locked and 
tagged in accordance with worksite requirements.
