PROBLEM
Show/hide table
| The slide plate of the sliding system needs to be reworked on certain AS-4251 Screeds connected to AP-600 and AP-755 Asphalt Pavers. The existing third bolted joint can fail. This failure could generate an incorrect setting of the angle of attack of the extension sole plate. The process includes a final check of the angle of attack and a possible related adjustment. |
