BOOM ASSEMBLY PROCEDURE
Do not attempt to work on the boom without experienced
supervision.
Extend Cable Sheave Installation
NOTE: This procedure can be greatly simplified if two
technicians are used. One technician to hold the
sheave in place and the other to insert the spacers
and sheave shaft.
1. Clean and inspect the sheave assembly shaft bushing.
Replace the bushing if damage is found.
2. Lubricate the shaft bushing.
3. Determine the number of spacers required for the
sheave shaft.
As many as six spacers (3 on each side) may be
required. If you have placed 3 spacers on the first side,
and find that only two will fit on the second side, that will
be acceptable. It will not be necessary or desirable to
remove one spacer from the first side.
4. Apply a light coat of lubricant to the sheave shaft
(Figure 4-36, 4).
5. Install the sheave assembly (Figure 4-36, 5), shaft
(Figure 4-36, 4) and spacers. Install the shaft with the
lubrication fitting to the LEFT and the notches to the
Front of the boom.
6. Install the sheave shaft retainer plates (Figure 4-36, 3)
on the left and right side with 2 capscrews and 2
washers in each plate.
