General Maintenance
5. Periodically measure the distance between the inner boom and the
intermediate boom. Repeat step 4 until the measurement between
the inner boom and the intermediate boom (Figure 103) increases
to 2.5” (63,5mm).
NOTE: If the boom measurement cannot be adjusted within the 2.25”
(57mm) and 2.75” (70mm) range, the boom may require extensive adjust-
ment and/or repair. Contact your authorized
Sky Trak distributor.
6. Tighten the retract chain locknut (Figure 101) to 35 - 40 lb/ft
(47,5 - 54,2 Nm).
7. Close and lock the rear cover.

C. Wear Pad Inspection
(10 Hour Intervals)
Visually inspect the boom wear pads between the boom sections at the rear
and front of the boom for excessive wear.
The average expected life of the wear pads will vary depending upon
vehicle use, weight of the loads, operating conditions and the location of the
boom pads inside the boom.
If the vehicle is used continuously and the weights of the loads are at or
near capacity, or if you are operating the vehicle in very dusty or dirty
conditions, the pads will wear much faster. The pads that are under most
stress from weight of the load will also wear faster than other pads. For
example, the lower pads at the front of the boom are under far more stress
than the pads attached at the top, rear or sides at the front of the boom.
Consequently, the lower pads will require service more often.
