When the wear pads are worn to 6 mm (0.23 in) or below they should be replaced.
It is permissible to rotate the top wear pads 180° to prolong service life, provided the contact surface is more than 6 mm (0.23 in) thick. 

Note: If rotating the wear pad the grease nipples will have to be swopped over. Dismantling

Park the machine on firm level ground, engage the
parking brake and set the transmission to neutral.

Repeat procedure steps 5 to 11 for the bottom clamp.
The only difference on the bottom clamps is the wear
pad is on the opposite side of the rail from the top
clamp so bolt K need not be completely removed.
Note: If the wear pad is trapped between the rail and
carriage, lower the bucket to relieve the load on the wear pad.

Lift the bucket and set the carriage to the opposite end of the travel, repeat the procedure for opposite side.
