2. Support Upper Boom basket end with a prop. Sup-
port Upper Upright end with an overhead crane (See
Figure 2-11.)
3. Tag, disconnect hydraulic lines to telescope cylinder.
Use suitable container to retain any residual hydrau-
lic fluid. Cap hydraulic lines and ports.
4. Remove the retaining rings that retain the telescope
cylinder rod to the fly boom.
5. Using a suitable brass drift, carefully drive the tele-
scope cylinder rod pin #1 from the fly boom.
6. Remove the four (4) bolts securing the telescope
cylinder barrel end to the base boom.
NOTE: Care should be taken when removing the telescope
cylinder, do not leave cylinder rest on powertrack
which could cause damage to powertrack.
7. Using a suitable brass drift, carefully drive the tele-
scope cylinder pin from the base boom.
8. Attach a suitable sling to the telescope cylinder.
Using a suitable lifting device attached to the sling
carefully pull the telescope cylinder from the boom
assembly.
9. Using another lifting device, support the rod end of
the cylinder and remove the cylinder from the boom
assembly.
10. Carefully lift the cylinder clear of the boom assembly
and lower to the ground or suitably supported work
area.
Upper Boom Telescope Cylinder Installation.
1. 35/n35/40/n40/45 electric - Attach a hydraulic power
supply to the telescope cylinder ports. Using suit-
able supports or lifting devices at each end of the
cylinder, extend the rod so that the cylinder pin
attach holes are the same distance apart as the
boom pin attach holes.
2. Using suitable lifting equipment, carefully lower the
cylinder to the boom assembly.
3. Using another lifting device, support the rod end of
the cylinder and install the cylinder into the boom
assembly.
4. Remove lifting devices from the telescope cylinder.
5. Carefully install the telescope cylinder rod pin #1
through the fly boom and secure it with the retaining
rings.
6. Carefully install the telescope cylinder barrel end to
base, securing cylinder to the base boom with four
(4) bolts and hardware.
7. Remove applicable hydraulic line and port caps and
correctly connect the hydraulic lines to the tele-
scope cylinder. Ensure all hoses are correctly
routed.
8. Remove boom prop and overhead crane. Actitive

1. Park the machine on a flat level surface. Be sure it is
as level as possible, with tires filled to rated pres-
sure.
NOTE: Ensure switch mounting is level and securely

2. Tighten the three flange nuts with a socket wrench.
Each nut should be tightened approximately one-
quarter of its spring’s travel.
3. Using bubble level on top of indicator, Tighten or
loosen the three flange nuts until indicator is level.
4. Individually push down on one corner at a time.
There should be enough travel to cause the indica-
