SUBJECT: Landfill Compactor Wheel Tip Clearance

PROBLEM:

AEM wheels and tips that exceed the overall diameter of the original equipment components offered by AVSpare may create interference problems. Excessive overall diameters or out of round wheels can allow contact between the tips and striker bars. Inadequate clearance between the tips and striker bars may allow landfill debris to bind a wheel against a striker bar causing damage to the lower power train or the structural integrity of the machine. The worst case scenario may be catastrophic damage not covered by warranty. The 826G II for example is designed to have a clearance of 970 mm (1-3/4 in) between the rear of the rear wheel and the striker bar.

SOLUTION:

All three landfill compactor models (816F, 826G II & 836G) are designed for use with AVSpare tips & wheels. AVSpare's Plus Tip is 6.26" tall. Any AEM tip that is greater than this that is mounted to the same diameter wheel could create a clearance issue and increase the risk of failure. The use of a taller tip will require the use of a smaller diameter wheel. The reference dimension not to exceed is the overall diameter of the wheel and tips. This should be no greater than 1618 mm (63.71 in) for the 816F, 1850 mm (72.83 in) for the 826G II and 2050 mm (80.71 in) for the 836G. Prior to installing AEM wheels and/or tips, determine that the maximum overall diameter is not exceeded and that the wheels are acceptably concentric.
