SECTION 4 - BOOM & PLATFORM
3120840 – JLG Lift – 4-15
f. Using a suitable brass drift and hammer, remove
the master cylinder pin from base boom.
g. Remove hardware securing the boom pivot pin
to the turntable upright.
h. Using a suitable brass drift and hammer, remove
the pivot pin from turntable upright.
i. Using all applicable safety precautions, carefully
lift boom assembly clear of turntable and lower
to ground or suitably supported work surface.
Disassembly of Boom Sections
1. Remove hardware securing telescope cylinder to aft
end of the base boom section.
2. Remove hardware which secures the wear pads to
the base boom section; remove the wear pads from
the top, sides and bottom of the base boom section.
3. Using overhead crane or suitable lifting device,
remove fly boom assembly from base section.
4. Remove hardware from the telescope cylinder pin.
Using a suitable brass drift and hammer remove the
cylinder pin from fly boom section.
5. Pull the telescope cylinder partially from aft end of
the fly boom section; secure the cylinder with a suit-
able sling and lifting device at approximately the
center of gravity.
6. Carefully remove the telescope cylinder and place
telescope cylinder on a suitable trestle.
7. Remove hardware which secures the wear pads to
the aft end of fly boom section; remove the wear
pads from the top, sides and bottom of the fly boom
section.
Inspection
NOTE: When inspecting pins and bearings refer to section 2
General.
1. Inspect boom pivot pin for wear, scoring, tapering
and ovality, or other damage. Replace pins as nec-
essary.
2. Inspect telescope cylinder attach point for scoring,
tapering and ovality. Replace pins as necessary.
3. Inspect upper lift cylinder attach pin for wear, scor-
ing, tapering and ovality, or other damage. Ensure
pin surfaces are protected prior to installation.
Replace pins as necessary.
4. Inspect inner diameter of boom pivot bearing for
scoring, distortion, wear, or other damage. Replace
bearing as necessary. (See section 5 For Bearing
Replacement).
5. Inspect all wear pads for excessive wear, or other
damage. Replace pads when worn to within 3.2 mm
of threaded insert.
6. Inspect all threaded components for damage such
as stretching, thread deformation, or twisting.
Replace as necessary.
7. Inspect structural units of boom assembly for bend-
ing, cracking, separation of welds, or other damage.
Replace boom sections as necessary.
Assembly
NOTE: When installing fly section wear pads, install same
number and thickness of shims as were removed
during disassembly.
1. Measure inside dimensions of the base section to
determine the number of shims required for proper
lift.
2. Install side, top and bottom wear pads to the aft end
of fly section; shim evenly to the measurements of
the inside of base boom section.
WHEN ASSEMBLING BOOM SECTIONS, ENSURE THAT THE
BOOM SLIDING TRAJECTORIES HAVE BEEN CLEARED OF
CHAINS, TOOLS, AND OTHER OBSTRUCTIONS.
3. Secure the sling and lifting device at the telescope
cylinder’s approximate center of gravity, and lift the
cylinder to the aft end of the fly boom section.
4. Slide telescope cylinder into the aft end of fly boom
section. Align attachment holes in fly boom section
with hole in rod end of telescope cylinder.
5. Install telescope cylinder pin and secure with mount-
ing hardware.
6. Secure the sling and lifting device at the fly boom
assembly approximate center of gravity.
7. Slide fly boom assembly into the base boom sec-
tion. Shim boom, if necessary, for a total of 1.6 mm
clearance.
8. Install wear pads into the forward position of the
base boom section. Shim boom, if necessary, for a
total of 5 mm clearance.
9. Align the cylinder with the slots at aft end of base
boom section, then secure cylinder with mounting
hardware.
