conventional manner. Alternative #2 removes the telescope
cylinder from the rear of the boom, after removal of the hoist.
This feature facilitates cylinder service without complete
boom teardown.
For reference, the front of the boom refers to the sheave
case end, the rear of the boom is the hoist mount end. Left
and right are viewed from front to rear.
If the boom is to be unpinned from the turret of the crane
structure, please refer to the Boom Removal Procedure
section in this book. If the required service procedure is to be
performed on the boom while still pinned to the turret, please
follow these directions.
Do not, under any circumstances, work at an elevated
height without using proper fall protection as required
by local, state or federal regulations.
1. Extend and set the outriggers.
2. Fully retract the boom and place in a horizontal position.
3. Hoist removal optional.
Boom Disassembly Alternative #1
1. Gaining access through rear of boom, loosen capscrews
retaining the keeper plates holding the extend cable
anchor and retract cables in the rear of the 3rd section,
remove keeper plates.
2. Extend boom 24 in (60 cm). Loosen and remove the 
nuts which secure the extend cables to the cable anchor 
plate. Tag and disconnect hydraulic lines to the 
telescope cylinder.
3. Drape extend cables and slide cable anchor plate out of 
the side of the hoist mount if hoist has been removed 
from boom.
4. Loosen and remove two capscrews, lockwashers and 
spacers which anchor the telescope cylinder rod butt 
plate to the rear of the 1st section.
5. Loosen and remove two capscrews and lockwashers 
securing spacer bar to the inside top of the front of the 
1st section. Remove spacer bar.
6. Loosen and remove four capscrews securing wear pads 
to the bottom of the 1st section. Removal of side wear 
pads is optional. Adequate clearance exists between 
adjoining section side pads for boom disassembly. If 
side pad removal is required, tag all pads, shims, and 
corresponding locations for proper reassembly.
7. Support 2nd-3rd-4th assembly at the front with an 
appropriate lifting method. Raise the 2nd-3rd-4th 
assembly inside the 1st section to allow for front bottom 
pad removal. Remove bottom wear pads.
8. With the 2nd-3rd-4th assembly supported, slide 
assembly out of the 1st. Relocation of the sling point on 
the 2nd-3rd-4th assembly will be necessary for proper 
balancing of the assembly as it slides out of the 1st 
section. Keep tension on retract cables as the assembly 
is pulled out of the 1st to minimize the chance of retract 
cable damage.
9. Place 2nd-3rd-4th assembly on a suitable horizontal 
surface. Take care not to pinch or crush retract cables 
while lifting or supporting assembly.
10. Remove top rear wear pads on the 2nd section. They 
will lift off the cam plates easily. Do not remove or loosen 
the capscrews holding the cam plate to the section. This 
will affect side clearance during re-assembly. Note 
orientation of pad as it is removed. The hole in the 
bottom is offset for adjustment purposes. Replacing the 
wear pad in the same orientation is required to keep the 
boom straight.
11. Loosen and remove four capscrews securing the rear 
bottom wear pads on the 2nd section. This pad serves 
as a bottom and side pad as well as the retract cable 
keeper under the retract sheaves. Removal of this pad 
will allow the retract cables to uncoil off the retract 
sheaves. Place retract cable ends in a location to 
minimize the possibility of damage.
12. Loosen and remove six capscrews securing retract 
sheave pins and sheaves to 2nd section. Remove 
sheaves and pins.
13. Loosen and remove two capscrews functioning as upper 
retract cable keepers. Remove retract cables.
14. Loosen and remove two capscrews securing lock bar to 
the telescope cylinder collar. This bar constrains the 
vertical movement of the telescope cylinder. Remove 
bar.
15. Loosen capscrews retaining extend cable anchor to 
back of the 4th section. Total removal of the capscrews 
will allow the cable anchor to be completely 
disassembled, backing capscrews out approximately 
0.50 in (12 mm) will allow the anchor assembly to slide 
rearward out of the section as the telescope cylinder is 
removed.
16. Support telescope cylinder with an appropriate lifting 
device and pull the cylinder out of the boom while 
keeping the extend cables tensioned slightly by hand to 
minimize the possibility of damage to the cables. Pull 
cylinder to within 3 ft (91 cm) of complete removal from 
the boom sections.
17. Pull the extend cable anchor out from its retaining pocket 
on the bottom of the 4th section. A slight angle applied to 
the anchor as it’s being pulled to the rear will permit 
easier removal through the 2nd and 3rd sections.
18. Remove the telescope cylinder from the boom. Remove 
extend cables. Place cylinder and cables in suitable 
area to prevent possible damage.
19. Loosen and remove four capscrews, cable guide, wear 
pad and spacer bars from the front top of the second 
section.
