53. At the front of the outer boom, install the lower outside
wear pads (Fig. 3-63, 1) and wear pad spacers (2).
a. Place the wear pad inserts (Fig. 3 -63, 3) into the
cavities in the wear pad. Be sure the inserts are
seated completely in the cavities.
b. Place a wear pad (Fig. 3-63, 1) and a spacer (2) into
the outer boom with the hole offset of the wear pad
toward the middle of the boom. Align the holes in the
spacer and wear pads with the holes in the bottom
of the boom.
c. Apply Loctite
®
242 threadlocker to the threads of the
3/8-16 x 1-1/2" capscrews (Fig. 3-63, 4). Insert the
capscrews with lockwashers (5) through the bottom
of the boom and into the wear pads. Be careful not
to push the wear pad inserts out of the wear pads.
d. Torque all wear pad mounting capscrews to
31 ±3 lb/ft (42 ±4 Nm).
e. Fill all wear pad cavities with a good grade of
lithium-based EP grease.
f. Repeat Steps a-e to install the lower wear pad on
the other side of the outer boom.

55. Install the intermediate boom, retract chain and
attaching hardware. (Refer to Section 3.3.5,
“Intermediate Boom Installation.”)
56. Install the inner boom, extend chain and attaching
hardware. (Refer to Section 3.3.6, “Inner Boom
Installation.”)
57. Clean up all debris, hydraulic fluid, etc., in, on, near
and around the vehicle.
58. Start the engine and operate all boom functions
several times. Check the chain tension again and
adjust as necessary. Check for leaks, and check the
hydraulic fluid level in the tank; add fluid if required.
3.3.5 Intermediate Boom Installation
IMPORTANT: 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.
1. At the rear of the intermediate boom, install the
retract chain sheave (Fig. 3 -64, 1) to the mounting
ears on the right side of the boom. Place the sheave
between the ears and insert the sheave pin (2) from
the left side. Align the hole in the pin retainer plate
with the threaded hole in the left ear. Secure the pin
in place with the 1/2-13 x 1" capscrew (3) and the
1/2" lockwasher (4). Tighten the capscrew securely.
2. Apply grease to the grease fitting (Fig. 3-64, 5) in the
pin. Spin the sheave by hand to ensure the sheave spins
freely on the pin and to distribute grease evenly.
