BOOM WEAR PADS
The wear pads (1) on this vehicle, are for the most part, 
flat rectangular wear pads with metal inserts (2). The 
bottom rear wear pads (3), of the intermediate boom, are 
“U” shaped and have a L shaped retainer (4) to keep 
them in place.
A total of 30 wear pads are installed on the outer, 
intermediate and inner booms. Eight wear pads are 
attached to the inner boom, 14 to the intermediate boom 
(including two at the lower rear), and eight to the outer 
boom. Two additional wear pads (5) are attached to the 
front of the Extend/Retract cylinder (6).
Note: All shims are used to maintain a maximum total 
gap of 0.09" (2,3 mm), between the wear pad and the 
boom.

Boom Wear Pad Replacement
When replacing a wear pad on the boom, replace both 
wear pads on that side of the boom; e.g.: replace top front 
left and top front right wear pads at the same time. 
Usually, shimming will remain the same when installing 
new wear pads. All wear pads are secured to the boom 
using different capscrews and washers. When installing 
new wear pads, apply Loctite
®
#242 (blue) to all wear pad
mounting capscrews and torque to 33 - 38 lb-ft 
(46 - 52 Nm). 
a. Inner Boom
All inner boom wear pads (7) are mounted on the rear 
outside of the inner boom.
