section;
2. Tighten 321 retract cable located at the front bottom of

of the second section the difference in the retraction gap
measurements.
3. Extend and retract the boom a few times and then
repeat measuring the retraction gaps.
The fourth section should have moved in.
4. Tightening until the retraction gap between the third and
fourth section is equal to the retraction gap between the
second and third section.
