Interference between Tube Clamps and Main Frame:

It is possible that the boom hydraulic tube clamps may contact the main frame when boom is raised to its highest position. This condition effects only machines with certain frames. If you have a machine that has this interference problem use the procedures described in this bulletin to correct the problem. (See Figure 1).

25"

To prevent interference of the hydraulic pipe clamps with the frame move the clamps to this new 25" distance

Figure 1

If the parts on your unit are damaged, loosen the six bolts that hold the three tubes. Cut the bracket away from the boom. Relocate the bracket on the boom so it clears the frame. Weld in place and paint. Tighten the six bolts. Total time to perform this modification will be approximately 1.5 hours time or less. If parts are required there is a kit that can be installed, the Kit # 02971938.
