D. Wear Pad Replacement
(As Wear Pad Indicators Indicate)
Each boom wear pad is manufactured with a convenient wear pad indicator.
This is the angled cut at each end of all wear pads (Figure 104).
Figure 104
The total thickness of a new wear pad is .625” (15,9 mm). The angled cut
will provide a total wear thickness of .25” (6,4 mm). This will leave
approximately .375” (9,5 mm) of total unused base material.
The pads must never be worn past the angled cut indicator because the
metal pad insert that holds the pads in place will begin to wear into the
boom pad sliding surfaces. If the pads are worn past this point it will cause
gouging on the boom plate surfaces. This will result in premature wear of
any new wear pads installed if the surfaces are not ground smooth again.
Replacement of boom wear pads must performed by an authorized Sky
Trak distributor when the wear pads indicate.
IMPORTANT! The boom has been factory lubricated for proper wear pad
break-in and will normally not require further lubrication. However, after
replacing any wear pad(s), or after prolonged periods of inoperation, light
lubrication (“LPS-3” or “LUBRIPLATE” chain and cable fluid or equivalent) of
the boom wear surfaces is recommended to keep the wear pads and the
boom wear surfaces lubricated properly. Light lubricating of the boom wear
surfaces is also recommended in salt air climates or when the vehicle is to
be put in storage to prevent rusting.
