5. Lower Boom onto Turret Assembly. Us-
ing an over head hoist lift the boom by placing a
lift strap at the boom hinge point (See Figure
2), the boom assembly will be shipped with the
two boom end tie wired together (See Figure
3A). The wire tie will need to be removed as it
is tied through the boom hinge pin hole. Lift the
boom above the turret assembly and lower it
back down onto the turret assembly aligning
the boom with the mounting pin hole. Install the
Mount Pin through the turret and into the
boom. Make certain the pin is installed cor-
rectly as one side of the pin is self locking in
design. Tighten the pin retaining nut and install
cotter pin. (See Figure 3C)
6. Connect lower end of Lift Cylinder. The
Base end (lower end) of lift cylinder will mount
into the turret under the boom mount. The Cyl-
inder will have to be extended to connect, If
cylinder has to be extended the best way is to
unplug the ends of the lift cylinder hoses where
they come out of the boom, these will be the #
6 hose with the Orange Tie and the # 6 hose
with the orange / White Tie. When pulling (ex-
tending or collapsing cylinder) always put the
opened end of the hoses into a clean drain pan
as oil will run out of the cylinder when extended
or collapsed. After installing the cylinder lower
mounting pin re-plug the hoses that were in the
drain pan until ready to connect hoses.
7. Connect Head to Boom. The mounting
pins to install the head onto the boom will be
shipped installed in the mount weldment. Re-
move the mounting pins. Use the hoist to lower
boom down over head to connect head, Align

pin is the connect the lift link. (See Figure 4 &
