3. Lift up on the boom and remove the pin ( Figure
99 ), and slowly lower the boom to the ground.
4. Inspect the pin for any damage, and replace it
if necessary.
5. Use a wrench on the flat sides of the actuator
rod to immobilize it, then loosen the jam nut to
allow the eyelet rod to be adjusted (
Figure 100 ).

6. Turn the eyelet rod in the actuator rod to shorten
or lengthen the extended actuator to the desired
position (
Figure 100 ).
Note:
You must turn the eyelet rod in half or
complete revolutions so that you can assemble
the rod to the boom.
7. Once the desired position has been achieved,
tighten the jam nut to secure the actuator and
eyelet rod.
8. Raise the boom to align the pivot with the
actuator rod.
9. While holding the boom, insert the pin through
both boom pivot and actuator rod (
Figure 99 ).
10. With the pin in place, release the boom and
secure the pin with the cotter previously
removed.
11. Repeat the procedure for each actuator rod
bearing, if necessary.
