splice and insert the end with the two
1/4”
drilled holes into the section of boom that matches. Carefully align the holes and insert the
1/4”
hex head bolts (PN 60
-
0029), flat washers (PN 60
-
0041) and Nylock nuts (PN 60

washers (PN 60
-
0033) and
5/16”
Nylock nut (PN 60

When inserting the EZ
-
Eyebolt onto the boom as shown in
figure 1.13
, use a mallet and a piece of
wood as shown in
figure 1.14
. Using the mallet directly on they eyebolt can damage it. There is a
5/16”
washer and nut on the eyebolt when you receive it—remove the regular nut and replace it with a
5/16”
Nylock nut but keep the washer on the eyebolt so that it is flush with the shoulder portion of the
eyebolt. Align the eyebolt so that it is centered on the boom and tighten. Be sure that all the bolts are
now tightened.
