THEORY OF OPERATION
The boom is a four section boom that uses a hydraulic
telescope cylinder and internal cables to extend and retract
the boom. A lift cylinder located under the boom is used to
raise and lower the boom.
The telescope cylinder is two-stage, double acting, and
attached to and extends the 1
st
, 2
nd
, and 3
rd
boom sections.
Extend cables are used to extend the 4
th
boom section
(Figure 4-1).
The telescope cylinder retracts the 1
st
and 2
nd
boom
sections. Retract cables are used to retract the 3
rd
and 4
th
boom sections.
The extend cables for the 4
th
section are attached to the rear
of the 2
nd
boom section, reeved around sheaves on the front
of the telescope cylinder and attached to the rear 4
th
boom
section.
The retract cables for the 4
th
boom section are attached to
the front of the 2
nd
boom section, reeved around sheaves on
the rear of the 3
rd
boom section, and attached to the rear of
the 4
th
boom section.
The retract cables for the 3
rd
boom section are attached to
the front of the 1
st
boom section, reeved around sheaves at
the rear of the 2
nd
boom section, and attached to the rear of
the 3
rd
boom section.
A proportioning cable is attached to the rear of the 1
st
boom
section, reeved around a sheave at the front of the 2
nd
section, and attached to the rear of the 3
rd
section. This
cable maintains proper telescope cylinder proportion and
equal boom section extension.
