INTRODUCTION
All maintenance procedures, schedules, and information contained in the manuals for the Nonsectionalized Scrapers are
applicable to the Sectionalized Scrapers. This section contains additional information required for the maintenance and
overhaul of the steer axle and spring and cable assembly relative to the Sectionalized Scrapers. This section also
contains a troubleshooting guide to help expedite any corrective actions these components might require to make the
Sectionalized Scrapers fully operational.
All maintenance to the steering axle will be performed while either in its storage position or when removed. If the wheels
need to be removed while the Sectionalized Scraper is sectionalized, then a hydraulic Jack must be used to lift the axle,
and blocking should be installed.
