5. 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 boom assembly.

WHEN INSERTING THE TELESCOPE CYLINDER INTO THE BOOM,
IT MAY BE NECESSARY AT SOME POINT TO TURN THE CYLIN-
DER SLIGHTLY IN ORDER TO CLEAR ASSEMBLIES MOUNTED
WITHIN THE BOOM. CARE MUST BE TAKEN TO MOVE THE CYL-
INDER SLOWLY INTO POSITION: DAMAGE TO COMPONENTS
MAY RESULT FROM FORCIBLE IMPACT WITH THESE ASSEM-
BLIES.

6. Carefully install the telescope cylinder barrel end

support into slots in mid boom and secure with
blocks and bolts. Use Loctite #242 on bolts.

7. Align holes in aft end of the fly boom section with

holes in cable mounting block, then secure with
mounting hardware.

8. Align holes in aft end of the base boom section with

holes in cable mounting block, then secure with
mounting hardware.

9. Remove cylinder port plugs and hydraulic line caps

and correctly attach lines to cylinder ports.

10. Align holes in rod end of the telescope cylinder with

holes in push bar. Install push bar pin and secure
with mounting hardware.

11. Align holes in push bar with holes in turntable. Install

push bar pin and secure with mounting hardware.

NOTE: Boom cables must be torqued after installation of the

telescope cylinder. (See Boom Rope Torquing Pro-
cedures.)

Boom Lift Cylinder Removal

1. Place the machine on a flat and level surface. Start

the engine and place the main boom in the horizon-
tal position. Shut down engine and prop the boom.

a suitable work area.

Boom Lift Cylinder Installation

1. Install lift cylinder in place using suitable slings or

supports, aligning attach pin mounting holes on the
turntable.

2. Using a suitable drift, drive the barrel end attach pin

through the mounting holes in the lift cylinder and
the turntable. Secure in place with the pin retaining
hardware.

3. Remove cylinder port plugs and hydraulic line caps

and correctly attach lines to cylinder ports.

4. Using auxiliary power, extend the cylinder rod until

the attach pin hole aligns with those in the boom.
Using a suitable soft mallet, drive the cylinder rod
attach pin through the boom and lift cylinder. Secure
the pin in place with attaching hardware.

5. Remove boom prop and overhead crane. Activate

hydraulic system.

6. Using all applicable safety precautions, operate the

boom functions. Check for correct operation and
hydraulic leaks. Secure as necessary.
