Inspection
• Check all threaded parts for elongation, thread defor-
mation, torsion or other damage. Replace the part if
needed.
• Check all structures of the cable track assembly for
deformation, cracks, weld separation or other dam-
age. Replace the structure if necessary.
Installation
Follow the reverse order of the disassembly procedures.

• Before loosening or disassembling the hy-
draulic parts (especially the counterbalance
valve on the cylinder), ensure that the hydraul-
ic pressure of all hydraulic lines is released
and that the hydraulic oil is completely cooled
down.
• Disassemble the hydraulic components
slowly to prevent the hydraulic oil from splash-
ing and injuring people.
Disassembly
1. Raise the boom tube slightly until the downward lev-
eling cylinder is accessible and can be easily
removed.
2. Mark and disconnect the hydraulic pipelines on the
downward leveling cylinder and collect the hydraulic
oil in the pipelines with a suitable vessel. Then seal
the pipelines and ports.
3. Support the downward leveling cylinder with suit-
able lifting equipment.
4. Remove the retaining ring at the pivot pin #1 and
knock out the pivot pin #1 with a brass rod and
mallet.
5. Remove the retaining bolt at the pivot pin #2, and
knock out the pivot pin #2 with a brass rod and
mallet.
6. Slowly remove the downward leveling cylinder with
the aid of the lifting equipment.
When disassembling the cylinder, take care to
prevent damage caused by the cylinder falling
and impacting, and also prevent the high-
pressure oil leakage due to impacting.
Installation
Follow the reverse order of the disassembly procedures.
