a. Component/Assembly Verification
The inner to intermediate boom separation should be 
checked when assembling new boom sections or chains, 
or when the rear retract chain clevis has been moved 
forward on the anchor plate.
Measure the separation between the inner and 
intermediate boom top plates, (Fig. 3 -125, 1). The 
distance should be at least 8-1/2" (216 mm) and not 
greater than 9-1/2" (241 mm) with the boom fully 
retracted and the chains properly tensioned. A distance 
of less than 8-1/2" (216 mm) could result in interference 
and cause damage to boom components.
Figure 3-125 Measurement at Rear of Boom
If the distance is less than 8-1/2" (216 mm) or greater 
than 9-1/2" (241 mm):
1. Verify that the retract chain clevis (Fig. 3 -126, 1) is
not mounted in the last hole (2) in the anchor 
plate (3).

2. Make sure that the chain system is properly
tensioned. Refer to Section 3.4.3, “Boom Chain 
Tension Check” and Section 3.4.4, “Boom Chain 
Tension Adjustment.”
