LOCKING PEG
Each shaft is secured with a locking peg. If a peg is broken or the
bolt and peg is missing then this could be down to a seized shaft
as a result of no lubrication. If a seized shaft is suspected, check
that the x-drilling for the locking peg lines up with the bolt for the
locking peg. Fit a new peg. Carefully operate the boom to deter -
mine if the shaft is trying to turn.
If a grease nipple is fitted, apply grease. If the shaft has seized, it
is recommended to drive the shaft 1/2 way out. Clean and apply
new grease. If the shaft is badly worn or scoured, replace both
shaft and the bush. Depending on which shaft is causing the prob-
lem, the structure might need support to prevent jamming when
extracting the shaft.
LOCKING PINS
It is important that the boom locking pins are used when the machine
is transported. Never transport a machine if the pin is missing. The fixing clips fitted on machines have
been provided to prevent paint damage by the pin hitting the structure during use.
W hen towing, insert the pin and lock in place with the “R” clip provided. During inspection, look for
indication of the machine being moved without the pin. Signs of damage include dents in the top boom
and crack lines below the vertical boom. Contact Snorkel or its local representative for repairs.
