SIDE SHIMMING OF BOOM SECTIONS 800D

Published 5-27-2018 Control # 039-06
before the chosen radius is reached or allows extension 
beyond the chosen radius, adjustment is required. If the 
system is activated before trip pressure is reached, 
lower the load, remove acorn nut and loosen the locking 
nut on the compensating pressure switch and turn the 
setscrew clockwise to increase trip pressure.
5. When the gauge reaches trip pressure, turn the 
setscrew counter-clockwise until the system solenoid is 
deactivated and tighten the locking nut. Retract the 
boom until the pilot pressure is reduced enough to 
reactivate the system solenoid. The hydraulic capacity 
alert indicator light will go out when the solenoid is 
reactivated. Check the trip pressure setting by extending 
the load until the chosen radius is reached. As the 
chosen radius is reached, the system solenoid should 
be deactivated and the indicator light should come on. 
Readjust switch head if trip pressure is not correct.
6. Once proper adjustment is verified, return the boom to a 
firmly supported position, stop the truck engine and 
replace covers.
TROUBLESHOOTING
The following step-by-step analysis will be helpful in isolating 
and correcting almost every service problem if followed in a 
step-by-step systematic manner. Use this information with 
the Hydraulic Schematic and the Illustrated Parts Catalog to 
identify parts and follow flow paths. Start at top box and work 
downward step by step - don’t try to start in the middle or skip 
steps.
