If no string or wire was installed to the end of the 
clevis:
18. From the rear of the boom, one person should push
the threaded clevis end (Fig. 3-112, 1) of the retract 
chain (2) under the chain sheave and down between 
the intermediate boom and the outer boom. Keep 
the retract chain (2) to the right side of the boom, 
push the threaded clevis down to the tab (3) at the 
front underside of the outer boom.
19. The person at the front of the boom should guide the
threaded end of the clevis (Fig. 3 -112, 1) through 
the hole in the tab (3) using a Phillips screwdriver (4). 
Insert the screwdriver through the hole in the tab and 
catch the countersunk hole in the end of the clevis. 
Guide the threaded clevis out as the person at the 
rear of the boom pushes the retract chain forward.

Once the threaded clevis is through the tab on the 
outer boom:
20. Reassemble the flat washer (Fig. 3-113, 1), saved,
and a new 3/4-16 elastic locknut (2) onto the threaded 
clevis (3). Tighten the locknut until the threaded end 
of the clevis is flush with the top of the locknut.
21. Tighten the elastic locknut (Fig. 3-113, 2) on the
retract chain clevis (3) until the amount of threads 
protruding beyond the elastic locknut is the same as 
the measurement recorded during removal of the 
retract chain.
22. Adjust retract chain tension. (Refer to Section 3.4.3,
Figure 3-113 Retract Chain Clevis to Tab in Outer Boom
23. After adjustment is complete, assemble the rear cover
to the rear of the outer boom. At the rear of the outer 
boom (Fig. 3-114, 1), position the rear cover (2) in 
place. Secure the cover in place with the 5/16" flat 
washer (3), saved, lockwasher (4), saved, and 
thumbscrew (5), saved. Insert the thumbscrew 
through the bottom of the outer boom and into the 
rear cover. Tighten the thumbscrew securely to hold 
the cover in place.
