7. Install the new pads with Teflon inserts on the plates or
boom sections. Reassemble plates in boom in proper
locations.
Inner Side Pad Clearance
1. With a pair of inside/outside calipers, measure the inside
width of the outer section (W
I
) at the front and back of
the boom and record the smallest measurement. If the
section has cylinder anchor bars, take a measurement
directly in front of these bars.
2. With the inside/outside calipers, measure the outside
width of the inner section (W
0
) at each side pad location.
Record the largest measurement.
3. Measure the thickness t

wear pads and record.
4. Subtract the largest outside width (W
0
) of the inner
section plus the thickness of the two pads (t
WP
) from the
smallest inside width (W
I
) of the outer section.

NOTE: Shim Thickness = 0.76 mm (0.03 in)
5. Add shims as required to tighten the pads so that there
is 0.8 mm to 2.3 mm (0.03 inch to 0.09 inch) clearance
between the widest part of the inner boom and the most
narrow part of the outer boom. In some cases, there will
be an unequal number of shims behind the pads at the
top and bottom side pad locations (See Figure 4-10).
