H. Wear Pad Replacement
(As Wear Pad Indicators Indicate)
Each boom pad is manufactured with a convenient wear pad indicator. This
is the angled cut at each end of all wear pads (Figure 124). The total
thickness of a new wear pad is .625" (16 mm). The angled cut will provide a
total wear thickness of .25" (6 mm). This will leave approximately .375"
(10 mm) of total unused base material.
The pads must never be worn past the angled cut indicator because the
metal pad insert, that holds the pads in place, will begin to wear into the
boom pad sliding surfaces. If the pad wears past this point, the metal insert
in the pad will begin to gouge the boom plate surfaces. Contact your
OmniQuip Authorized Service Center (ASC).
Replacement of boom wear pads must be performed by an OmniQuip
Authorized Service Center (ASC) when the wear pads indicate.
IMPORTANT! The boom has been factory lubricated for proper wear pad
break-in and will normally not require further lubricat ion. However, after
replacing any wear pad(s) or after prolonged periods of inoperation, light
lubrication with “LPS3” or “LUBRIPLATE” chain or cable fluid (or equivalent)
of the boom wear surfaces is recommended to keep the wear pads and
boom wear surfaces lubricated properly. Light lubricating of the boom wear
surfaces is also recommended in salt air climates, after cleaning with
pressure washer using solvents or when the vehicle is to be put in storage,
to prevent rusting.
