Boom Breakaway
Each left and right boom is equipped with one
or two boom breakaways depending on boom
configuration. A right, outer breakaway is
shown.
The breakaways should be adjusted so the
boom sections on both sides of the break-
aways are straight and aligned as they
extend from the boom rack.
To adjust the breakaway, loosen the jam nut
(1) and turn the adjusting screw (2) to align
the booms. Tighten the jam nut. The right
boom tip breakaway is shown.
Repeat the steps for the remaining break-
aways, as required.
Boom Stabilizer
There are four boom stabilizers mounted the
the boom rack. The upper and lower right-
side stabilizers (1) are shown.
The gap between the nylon wear pads and
the steel frame should be 1/8” to 3/32” with
the booms unfolded.
To adjust the gap, loosen both lock nuts (2)
on the stabilizer and equally adjust the jam
nuts (3) until the gap is correct.
Tighten the lock nuts (2).
Repeat the steps for the other stabilizers, as
required.
NOTE: For best performance, the jam nuts
must be adjusted so the stabilizer halves are
parallel and provide the 1/8” to 3/32” gap.
Boom Tip
(80’, 90’, and 100’ Booms)
The boom tips should be level with the main
boom.
To adjust the boom tip level, loosen the jam
nuts (1) on the leveling bracket and turn the
leveling bolts (2) clockwise to raise or
counter-clockwise to lower the boom tip. The
left boom tip is shown.
NOTE: When the boom tip is adjusted prop-
erly, there will be some side-to-side move-
ment in the cylinder and in the linkage bars.
NOTE: The bolts must be adjusted equally for
best performance.
Repeat the steps for the other boom tip, as
required.
