6. Before installing the second boom section into the
first boom section, place a string (heavy enough to
pull the Attachment Tilt and Auxiliary hydraulic
hoses) down the inside of the boom. Allow the string
to hang out the rear of the boom. Pull the other end
out the opening on the left side of the boom where
the hoses will exit the boom. Position the strings all
the way to the left side of the first boom section.
7. Using a suitable sling, carefully slide the second
boom section into the first boom section. Leave
enough room at the front of the boom to install the
center wear pad.
8. Install the center wear pad mount and wear pad to
the bottom front of the first boom section.
9. Install the side and top wear pads to the front of the
first boom section.
10. Install the double extend chain sheave (8) to the
front of the second boom section.
11. With the sling still in place, install the rod end of the
Extend/Retract cylinder, pin and retaining ring.
12. Install the front, bottom wear pads in the second
boom section.
3.4.7 Third Boom Section Installation
1. Stretch the Attachment Tilt and Auxiliary (if
equipped) hoses out straight on a flat surface.
Measure from the male end of each hose back
196 in (498 cm) and apply tape around each hose at
that point. The tape is for proper tensioning of the
hoses during reassembly of the hose clamps.
2. Slide the elbow ends of the hoses down the third
boom section and out the boom head. Be careful not
to cross the hoses as you pull them out. Secure the
hoses in place with hose clamps. DO NOT tighten
the hose clamps at this time.
3. Install the hose clamp support bracket (9) and top
left side wear pad to the third boom section
(Auxiliary hydraulics only).
4. Position the Attachment Tilt and Auxiliary hydraulic
hoses with the edge of the tape at the hose clamps
(10). Hold the hoses in this position, and tighten the
hose clamps.
