STEP 17

Inner Boom Installation

STEP 21

Loosen and remove the bolts (1), lockplates (2) and remove the two bottom slide pads from the intermediate boom.

STEP 18

Begin sliding the inner boom section from the intermediate boom. Before the inner boom section is completely removed, put a wood block under the nose portion of the boom, and lower the inner boom so that the nose portion is resting on the block and remains level.

STEP 19

Position the hoist and lifting strap on the inner boom at 33 inches (840 mm) (as shown). This will allow a balanced lifting point.

NOTE: Without any attachments on the boom.

STEP 20

Remove the inner boom section from the intermediate boom.

With the inner boom section removed, apply grease to the inside bottom and top surfaces of the intermediate boom section where the pads of the inner boom will contact when assembled. Use a brush attached to a rod or pole to reach inside the boom.

STEP 22

Install the inner boom section into the intermediate boom.

STEP 23

Slide the inner boom section into the intermediate boom up to the balance point, then reposition the lifting strap and slide the inner boom in until there is approximately 12 inches (300 mm) of the inner boom section sticking out of the intermediate boom.

STEP 24

Using the hoist and lifting strap, apply upward pressure to the inner boom.
