BOOM WEAR PADS
The wear pads on this machine are flat rectangular wear
pads with metal inserts.
On the 266 and 307 a total of 16 wear pads are installed
on the outer boom.
3.4.1
Wear Pad Inspection
Inspect all wear pads (3) for wear. If the angle
indicators (4) on the ends of the wear pads are visible, the
wear pads can be reused. If the pads show uneven wear
(front to back), they should be replaced. Replace pads as
a set if worn or damaged.
3.4.2
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 to all wear pad
mounting capscrews and torque to 50 Nm (36 lb-ft).
Grease the new pads and surrounding area.
The boom wear pads (5) are mounted on the inside of the
first boom section and the outside of the second boom
section.
