12-14 Adjust and change the slide pads
on telescopic boom
The telescopic boom is equipped with replaceable slide
pads. At the lower end of the outer boom there are
nylon slide pads. 1, 2, 3 and 4. In addition, there are four
aluminium-bronze alloy slide pads (nos. 5,6,7 and 8), at
the upper end of the inner boom. All slide pads can be
replaced, and the nylon slide pads on the outer boom can
also be adjusted. This way the natural wear of the slide
pads, caused by the use of the telescopic boom, can be
compensated.
Slide pads 1 to 4
can be adjusted
by mounting thin adjustment
sheets between the boom and the
slide pad. Extend the telescope
almost completely and press
the boom against the ground, it
is the easiest way to mount the
adjustment sheet under slide
pad no. 2 . However, if there is
substantial wear in the slide pads
it is advisable to replace both pad
no. 1 and 2.
Slide pads 5 to 8
at the upper
end of the inner boom last very
long in normal use. Slide pads 5,
6, 7 and 8 should be checked after
every 400 operating hours and
replaced at least after 800 hours.
Checking is made by taking the
inner boom completely out of
the outer boom. If the pads have
worn so much that they are in
level with the boom, or excessive
boom play can’t be removed by
adjusting slide pads 1 to 4, replace
all slide pads.
Part nos. for the slide pads are:
Slide pad 1 and 2: A48339
Slide pad 3 and 4: A48340
Slide pad 5 and 6: A47922
Slide pad 7 and 8: A48343
Washer under slide pads 5 and 6: A47941
