Boom
c. Outer Boom
All outer boom pads (Fig. 3-150, 1) are mounted on the
front of the outer boom. Remove the top wear pads
before removing the bottom wear pads. Lower the
gooseneck to the ground until the intermediate boom
raises up, providing clearance for removing the bottom
pads. Fill the grease pockets (Fig. 3 -151, 1) of the top
rear boom wear pads with multi-purpose grease. Use
Loctite
® 242 (blue) on all wear pad capscrews.
Use shims as required to achieve a total minimum gap of
.07-.13" (1,8-3,3 mm) between top and side wear pads
and boom surfaces.

3.5.2 Boom Wear Pad Lubrication
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 of the
boom wear surfaces with a rust inhibitor/lubricant such as
LPS 3, or equivalent is recommended to keep the boom
wear surfaces lubricated properly. Light lubrication of the
boom wear surfaces is also recommended in salt air
climates, and when the vehicle is stored, to help prevent
rusting.
