Wear plates will be scraped during normal usage. Wear plates do not require
replacing if they are scraped.
Perform a detailed inspection of the wear plates to determine the extent of
damage and required repairs. If the wear plates are bent, torn, missing, and/or
rivets are pulled out or missing, perform repairs as required. If the wear plate is
