steel wool. Clean the affected area and apply touchup paint. If rusting, rot, or thinning has weakened the
material, permanently remove the clamp from service.
2. Mouth opening: Measure the width of the mouth opening in the 2 places that were measured to
generate the RECORD. Enlargement of the opening indicates that the clamp has been overloaded. The
clamp must be permanently removed from service.
3. Gripper/cam, gripper teeth, and pad: Examine the gripper, gripper teeth and the teeth of the pad. If
teeth of the gripper are flattened by 50% or more, permanently remove the clamp from service. If the pad
teeth are flattened by more than 50%, replace the pad. If the plate clamp is used to only move sheets of
a specific thickness, the gripper surface will wear in only 1 area and will have to be replaced sooner than
would otherwise be necessary as well as have to be replaced more frequently.
4. Pins and pinholes, and other fasteners: Examine all pins and pinholes. Pins should be straight.
Pinholes should be round, not ovoid. Evaluate the degree of wear of all pins and pinholes. Examine pin
retaining clips and spring pins (used to secure pins in place).
5. Bale opening: Measure the bale opening (height and width). Make sure the measurements match the
measurements in the RECORD. If any cracks, distortions, elongation, or severe wear is found,
permanently remove the clamp from service.
6. Labels: Check all labels. Labels are shown in the
are missing, damaged, or not easily readable.
