Installation
NOTE: The following procedure applies to a boom totally
removed from the crane.
1. Attach an adequate lifting device to the boom and
suspend the boom over the machine.
2. Lower the boom into position and align the boom pivot
shaft mounting holes for installation of the pivot shaft to
the superstructure assembly.
3. Lubricate the pivot shafts and related pivot bushings in
the boom assembly and the turntable weldment.
4. Block the boom in place.
5. The boom may need to be raised or lowered to aid in the
installation of the pivot shafts. Remove the hoses from
the counterweight removal cylinder, match up the quick
disconnects of the hoses to the disconnects on the pivot
shaft removal cylinder.
6. Activate the cylinder to install the pivot shafts. Ensure
the pivot shafts seat fully in the pivot bushings in the
boom assembly and the turntable weldment; the pivot
shafts are stepped because the bushings are of different
diameters.
7. Remove the hoses from the pivot shaft cylinder. Match
up the quick disconnects of the hoses to the disconnects
on the counterweight removal cylinder.
8. Install the two pivot lock weldments to secure the pivot
shafts to the turntable weldment. Fasten them to the
pivot shafts with capscrews and washers.
