FF-650 Repair Procedure—CMP 30 Frame Reason for Repair—CMP 30 models with Serial Numbers in the range of 2453 through 3354 in Lot 9587, 0008 through 0120 in Lot 9773, and 0787 through 0822 in Lot 9586 have frames welded with a reinforcing gusset missing in the area where the rear frame assembly attaches to the top surface of the side frame. In applications operating in uneven terrain or rough ground conditions an early failure can cause rear corner of the side frame to break. Continued operation can result in leaks in the hydraulic and fuel tanks. These frames must be repaired at the earliest opportunity whether they have failed or not to prevent tank leaks. The following procedure will ensure that the frames can be restored to the original design integrity and provide the long service life expected from Clark products. Tools Required—Portable 5 or 6 in. Grinder, Oxy-Acetylene Cutting Torch, 1 1/8 in. or 30 mm. ¾ Drive Socket—Extension—Breaker Arm, Jack Stands, Wire Brush, Duct Tape, and Clark Green paint.
