5.4-1 Check the Wear Pads
1. Ensure the MEWP is on a firm level surface and
is in the stowed position.
2. Start the engine from the base control console.
3. Raise the main boom to a comfortable working
height (chest high), and then extend fly boom
approximately 30 cm (1').
4. Measure the thickness of each wear pad, and
replace the wear pad if it is less than 11 mm
(7/16").
5. If the wear pad is within the specified thickness,
shim it as necessary.
5.4-2 Shim the Wear Pads
1. Ensure the MEWP is on a firm level surface and

2. Raise the main boom to a comfortable working
height (chest high) and extend the fly boom until
the wear pads are accessible.
3. Loosen the wear pad fasteners.
