PROCEDURE FOR SECURING TELESCOPING POLES TO ELEMENT HOUSING UNIT
Locate the following kits for assembling the Telescoping Poles:
QTY 1
72-0012-04 Rubber Boot Kit
QTY 1
72-0050-11 Hardware Kit
To secure the telescoping poles to the element housing unit, first slide a rubber boot over the
base section of the telescoping pole as shown in
figure 12
.
Slide the rubber boot over the metal ring on the EST of the element housing as shown in figure
11. Make sure the large hose clamp on the rubber boot slides over the metal ring on the EST
of the element housing unit.
The hose clamp that is located on the smaller end of the rubber boot should be positioned so
that it is past the black raised ring on the telescoping pole (fig 12). This will help keep the tele-
scoping pole securely attached, in addition to the gripping pressure applied by the clamp itself.
Once the rubber boot is in the correct location, tighten both hose clamps as shown in
figure 13
.
Due to the possbility of cold flow of the plastic boot material, be sure to re-tighten the hose
clamps after approximately 30 minutes to ensure a tight connection.
Repeat the same process for each of the remaining element tubes.
Using the 1/4 inch bolts, nuts and return brackets, secure the element return tubes to the boom
as shown earlier in figure 3.
