To inspect the slide pads:
. Use the lower controls to position the main boom near
horizontal. Extend the tip boom about ′ (30 cm).
2. Visually inspect the slide pads to make sure they are
securely fastened to the main boom.
3. Inspect the surface where the pads contact the tip
boom. The paint must be in place with no signs of
bare metal.
Extension Cylinder Slide Pads
The extension cylinder support bracket has slide pads
(refer to Figure 7.6) that can be inspected by looking
into the base end of the main boom.

Inspect the surface where the pads contact the interior
of the main boom. The paint must be in place with no
signs of bare metal.

Visually inspect the wire ropes where they are connected
to the outside of the main boom. There is a wire rope con-
nection on the bottom of the tip end of the main boom and
also one on the top of the base end of the boom (refer
to Figure 7.7).
