Install Boom Butt and First Insert
See Figure 4-14 for the following procedure.
1. Attach lifting slings from assist crane to top chords of
boom butt and insert.
Adjust position of slings so butt and insert are
horizontal when lifted.
2. Lift butt and insert into position at connecting holes in
front of rotating bed (View F).
3. Disconnect hydraulic hoses 7a, View C) from couplers
(7b) in boom butt. Thoroughly clean couplers.
4. Connect hydraulic hoses (7a, View D) to couplers (6c)
on left side of rotating bed.
5. Using crane setup remote control, disengage boom
hinge pins (8, View E).
6. Position butt so connecting holes in butt line up with
connecting holes in rotating bed.
7. Center butt between rotating bed lugs and check side
play. If total side play is greater than 5/64 in (2 mm),
install shims (10, View F) as follows:
a. Install thickest shim possible between inboard side
of butt and rotating bed lug on both sides of crane.
Shim tabs must face inward and rest on rotating
bed lugs.
b. Install next thickest shim possible between inboard
side of butt and first shim on both sides of crane.
c. If possible, install thinnest shim between inboard
side of butt and second shim on both sides of crane.
8. Using crane setup remote control, engage boom hinge
pins.
9. Remove locking pins (9, View E) from shipping position
and install in working position.
10. Lower end of insert onto blocking (View G).
11. Disconnect lifting slings.
12. Disconnect hydraulic hoses (7a, View D) from couplers
(7c) on rotating bed and connect to couplers (7b, View
C) in butt.
See Figure 4-15
for the remaining steps.
13. Connect hydraulic lines from boom butt to crane:
a. Remove dust covers from couplers on boom butt
and from couplers and hydraulic hoses on rotating
bed. Thoroughly clean couplers.
b. Connect hydraulic hoses and couplers on rotating
bed to couplers on boom butt, shown in Figure 4-15
.
NOTE These are straight line connections. No hoses will
cross when hoses are connected correctly.
On current production cranes, the hoses and
couplers between the boom butt and rotating bed
have numbered tags. To ensure proper connection,
match the numbers on the tags.
Coupler-assist tool (View C) can be used to
connect the large couplers.
