Chain Adjustments

The chains are adjusted by tightening and/or backing off
the adjusting nuts at the threaded end of the chains. The
opposite chain adjusting nut usually must be loosened
whenever this procedure is performed.

The chains are properly adjusted whenever the following
parameters are met.

1. Start the machine, level the boom and retract the

extend/retract cylinder completely. Turn OFF engine.

2. At the bottom front of the first boom section, tighten

the retract chain adjusting nut (5) to ensure a gap of
5,0 ± 1,0 mm (0.078 ± 0.016 in) between the clevis
shoulder and the face of the third boom section (6).

3. Tighten the retract chain lock nut (7) to 120 Nm

(86 lb-ft) against the adjusting nut.

4. At the rear of the boom, tighten the retract chain

adjusting nut (8) to ensure a gap of 5,0 ± 1,0 mm
(0.078 ± 0.016 in) between the clevis shoulder and
the face of the first boom section (9).

5. Tighten the retract chain lock nut (10) to 120 Nm

(86 lb-ft) against the adjusting nut.

Note: Ensure that there is a minimum of one full thread
of the clevis showing beyond the lock nut.

6. Tighten both extend chain adjusting nuts (11) until a

torque of 40 Nm (30 lb-ft) is obtained.

7. If necessary, repeat step 6 until extend chain tension

is equal.
