F. Wear Pad Replacement
(As Wear Pad Indicators Indicate)
Each boom pad (1) is manufactured with a convenient wear pad indicator
(2). This is the angled cut (2) at each end of all wear pads (1). The total
thickness (3) of a new wear pad is .625" (16 mm). The angled cut will
provide a total wear thickness (4) of .25" (6 mm). This will leave
approximately .375" (10 mm) of total unused base material.
The pads must never be worn past the angled cut indicator because the
metal pad insert (5), that holds the pads in place, will begin to wear into the
boom pad sliding surfaces. If the pad wears past this point, the metal insert
in the pad will begin to gouge the boom plate surfaces. Contact your local
Sky Trak Distributor.
Replacement of boom wear pads must be performed by a Sky Trak
Distributor when the wear pads indicate.
IMPORTANT! The boom has been factory lubricated for proper wear pad
break-in and will normally not require further lubrication. However, after
replacing any wear pad(s) or after prolonged periods of inoperation, light
lubrication with “LPS3” or “LUBRIPLATE” chain or cable fluid (or equivalent)
of the boom wear surfaces is recommended to keep the wear pads and
boom wear surfaces lubricated properly. Light lubricating of the boom wear
surfaces is also recommended in salt air climates, after cleaning with
pressure washer using solvents or when the vehicle is to be put in storage,
to prevent rusting.
