Paddles
Paddle
arrangements

mechanism linked to a
sequence of hydraulic
cylinders. To lower or raise,

pressure, see hydraulic

manual.
5.2.7
Scrapers
Scrapers come in an assortment of brackets and
profiles, depending on the packer type & frame
requirements, but all function in the same way.
To adjust the wearing pads distance from the
packer, simply loosen the bolts and slide the pad
forwards. The dual slot design also allows for the
pad to slide left or right to better centralise upon
the packer and avoid any unwanted side
wearing. It is advised that these pads are
inspected before and after every use.
5.2.8
Shim Holders
Shim holders come in two variants to suit single and double-cylinder systems.
To adjust, simply retract cylinder until clear of shims, pivot shim quantity in/out.
Do not stand near shim holders when cylinders are making contact.
For double cylinder systems, try to ensure both cylinders contact the shim
holder on a symmetrical, level platform of shims. Failure to do so may cause
damage to the shim holder/cylinders.
