Boom Wear Pads

Flat rectangular wear pads with metal inserts are used. The
inserts are special metal hardware that will scratch the
boom if the wear pads are worn beyond usable limits.
(Refer to the Model 6036 Legacy Owners/Operators
Manual.)

A total of 30 wear pads are installed on the outer,
intermediate and inner booms. Seven wear pads are
attached to the inner boom, 15 to the intermediate boom,
and eight to the outer boom.

At the front of the boom, shims are used to maintain a
minimum gap of .07-.13" (1,8-3,3 mm) between the wear
pads and the booms.

Wear Pad Gaps:

FRONT, outer boom to intermediate boom, and
intermediate boom to inner boom:

TOP:............................. .07-.13" (1,8-3,3 mm), minimum

SIDE:............................ .07-.13" (1,8-3,3 mm), minimum

Note: Shim front, upper and side wear pads to maintain
a minimum gap in both vertical and horizontal directions.

REAR, intermediate boom to outer boom, and inner
boom to intermediate boom:

UPPER PADS: Shim upper rear wear pads to maintain a
maximum gap of .06" (1,7 mm) at the rear edge of the upper
pads, and to maintain a total minimum gap of .07-.13"
(1,8-3,3 mm) in the vertical direction.

a. Boom Wear Pad Replacement

When installing a wear pad on one surface of a boom,
replace the wear pad on the opposite surface. Usually,
shimming will remain the same when installing new wear
pads. When installing new wear pads, apply Loctite

#242 (blue) to all wear pad mounting capscrews and
torque to 31 lb/ft (42 Nm).

Inner Boom

All inner boom pads are mounted on the rear outside of
the inner boom (Fig. 3-125, 1). The inner boom must be
removed from the vehicle in order to replace the wear
pads. Refer to Section 3.3.1, “Inner Boom Removal,” for
information on removing the inner boom.
