Finishing Up Replacing Sliding Shoes and Floor Guides
Apply the following procedure to finish up replacing the sliding shoes and floor guides:
1. Run the packer a few times.
1 a. If the packer is binding, apply some primer paint on the floor guide to find out where the
rubbing is occurring.
1 b. Run the packer a few times again. The location where the paint has come off indicates the
surface that needs to be grinded.
2. If the packer slides properly, weld the floor guides to the floor as illustrated in Figure 3-178.
3. Fully extend the packer to finish welding behind it.
Danger!
Never enter the hopper while the packer is moving.
