boom. Shims can be added to achieve the proper clear-
ance. Loosen the bolts and insert shims until proper
clearance is obtained.
NOTE: When inserting shims in the side slide
pads, be sure to place equal shims on both sides
of the boom for even distribution of clearance.
Re-apply Loctite® thread lock to the bolts and re-
torque to 30 ft.-lbs. (40 Nm). Bottom slide pads should
not be shimmed and should be replaced when the
thickness is worn down to 3/8” (9.5 mm).
CLEAN AIR CONDITIONING CON-
DENSER
NOTE: Clean the condenser more often if there is
a noticeable decrease in A/C performance.
IMPORTANT: Do not use a water jet or high-pres-
sure steam, because this could damage the fins.
1. Remove the six screws (1) from the top cover of
the condenser.
2. Remove the cover to gain access to the condenser
(2).
6. After the machine is started and running smoothly,
have the second person remove the jumper cables
(negative (-) jumper cable first) from the jumper
vehicle battery, and then from the disabled
machine, while ensuring NOT to short the two
cables together.
Allow sufficient time for the alternator to build up a
charge in the battery before operating the machine or
shutting off the engine.
NOTE: If the battery frequently becomes dis-
charged, have the battery checked for possible
dead cells, or troubleshoot the electrical system
for possible short circuits or damaged wire insula-
tion.
CHECKING BOOM SLIDE PADS WEAR
AND CLEARANCE
The boom is equipped with special nylon low friction
slide pads between the telescopic sections. (See illus-
tration on the next page.) These are pre-greased and
initially worn-in at the factory. Normally greasing is
not required, except for maintaining a light film of
grease on the pad tracking areas of the boom sections.
An exception would be if a boom section has been
replaced.
Visually check for loose pad bolts. The bolts are
torqued to 30 ft.-lbs. (40 Nm). If the bolts are re-
torqued at any time, Loctite
®
271 (red) thread lock
must be re-applied to the bolts.
If the boom starts to chatter under load, grease the slide
pads and wipe off the excess grease. Maintain a clear-
ance of 1/16” between the top or side slide pads and the
WARNING
Failure to maintain proper slide pad clearance
and thickness could cause damage to the
boom and result in sudden boom failure.
