Replacing Sliding Shoes
Mechanics must first follow the preceding procedure (Preparing for Sliding Shoe Replacement on
page 128) before continuing with the procedure below.
To replace the worn-out sliding shoes, proceed this way:
NOTE: This procedure includes removing and replacing both floor guides.
1. Turn OFF the hydraulic pump and the engine.
2. Lock out and tag out the vehicle (see Locking Out and Tagging Out the Vehicle on page 14).
3. Remove the old sliding shoes and temporary steel tubing.
NOTE: Removal of the packer panel is not necessary within this procedure. However, should you
prefer to proceed with such removal, refer to Packer Maintenance and Replacement on page 39.
4. Mark the exact location of both floor guides.
5. Using a grinder or cutting tool, remove the floor guides by cutting the stitch welds that hold the
guides to the hopper floor (see Figure 3-174).
