Boom
Figure 3-27 Extend/Retract Cylinder Rod End Pin
Note: Use a hoist with a lifting capacity of 5,000 lbs
(2268 kg) and two slings to remove the intermediate
boom.
18. Place the slings around the intermediate boom. Pull
the intermediate boom straight out of the outer
boom. Reposition the slings as needed so the
intermediate boom balances when removed from the
outer boom. Set the intermediate boom down on
blocks on a hard, level surface.
19. Inspect the boom and welds. Contact the local
OmniQuip Authorized Service Center (ASC) or the
OmniQuip Service Department if structural damage
is detected.
20. Inspect hoses, hardware, wear pads, mounting
points, chains and other components visible with the
intermediate boom removed. Replace if damaged.
21. Inspect all wear pads (Fig. 3-28, 1) for wear. If the,
angled cut, wear indicators (2) on the ends of the
wear pads are visible, the wear pads can be reused.
If the pads show uneven wear (front to back), they
should be replaced. Replace pads as a set if worn or
damaged.

22. If you are replacing the intermediate boom with a
new boom section, the following items need to be
removed from the intermediate boom and installed in
the same position on the new boom section:
a. Remove the lower wear pads at the front of the
boom. Remove the capscrews (Fig. 3-29, 1) and
lockwashers (2) holding the lower wear pads (3)
and spacers (4) to the inside of the boom. Label
the wear pads and spacers as “Left” or “Right”
sides. Also note the orientation of the mounting
hole offset. Save the capscrews, lockwashers,
spacers and wear pad inserts (5).
WARNING:
NEVER weld or drill the
boom. The structural integrity of the boom will
be impaired if subjected to any repair involving
welding or drilling. Failure to comply can result
in death or serious personal injury.
