Boom Slide Pads — General
Description
Within the slide boom assemblies, there art two classifications of slide
pads:
• Load Bearing Slide Pads
Load bearing slide pads are located at the front and on the bottom of
any boom section that contains another section. Load bearing pads
are also located on the top rear of a boom section that is placed inside
another section.
• Non-Load Bearing Slide Pads
Non-load bearing slide pads are located at the front and on the top of a
boom section that contains another section. Pads that are located at
the rear and on the bottom of a boom that fits inside of another or any
pads that are located on a side of any boom section are also non-load
bearing slide pads.
Slide Pad Inspection

(Ref. Fig. 6-19) Except for the lower slide pads located at the rear of the
middle boom on 3-section booms, all other slide pads have a chamfer on
each end of the top side (the side that wears). The depth of this chamfer
varies, depending on the part number, and shows the amount of usable
pad remaining.
