ASSEMBLY
INSTALLING O-RING FITTINGS
Installing straight, 45 degree and 90 degree O-rings fittings requires that the O-ring,
washer and nut (A) be up against the swivel body (B). Insert the swivel and turn in until
the swivel is pointed in the right direction and the O-ring contact is made. Hold swivel
in set direction with a wrench and turn the O-ring nut away from the swivel body and
carefully tighten.
BOOM REST MOUNTING
With the main frame mounted on the tractor, refer to the parts section for the
hardware needed to install the boom rest. CAUTION: because of the shape and
size of the boom rest it will be somewhat unstable to lift into position. Special care
should be taken when installing the boom rest. Before lifting into position, install the
axle brace onto the boom rest as shown. Now raise the assembly into a horizontal
position and support it from the bottom with a floor jack towards the main frame
mounting plate. Line up the holes where the axle brace will mount to the main frame,
and install securing hardware loosely. Now raise the rear and align holes to mount to
axle. Install hardware with tread locking agent and tighten / torque as specified.
MAIN BOOM INSTALLATION
Install the boom swivel into the main frame as shown in the parts section using a
hoist. Line up holes in swivel and main frame for large swivel pin and insert pin.
Secure with hardware as shown. Inspect the inner boom end, grease hole in bearing
must align with boom grease zerks. Attach the inner end of the main boom to the
swivel bracket with the cylinder anchors mounting upward, and at a right angle to the
tractor. Secure it with the horizontal hinge pin. Secure the hinge pin in the boss with
capscrews, etc. (see parts section).
Install the fittings and hose to the butt end of the large main boom cylinder. Install
the travelock with the restrictor on the rod end of the main boom cylinder. These
should be facing the butt end of the cylinder after installation.
NOTE: Be sure to use teflon tape on all pipe fittings (except O-rings).
Install main boom cylinder on the main boom with the fittings facing upwards.
Attach the butt end to the cylinder to the swivel bracket anchor with the special
“bracket head” cylinder pin and roll pin shown in parts section. Attach the cylinder
rod end clevis to the main boom with the cylinder pin and two roll pins.
