Cable Track

The primary boom cable track guides the cables
and hoses running up the boom. It can be repaired
link by link without removing the cables and hoses
that run through it. Removing the entire primary
boom cable track is only necessary when
performing major repairs that involve removing the
primary boom.
How to Remove the Cable Track
When removing a hose assembly
or fitting, the O-ring on the fitting
and/or hose end must be replaced
and then torqued to specification
during installation.
Refer to Section 2, Hydraulic Hose
and Fitting Torque Specifications.
1 Raise the jib boom slightly and place blocks
under the platform mounting weldment. Then
lower the jib boom until the platform is resting
on the blocks just enough to support the
platform.
Do not rest the entire weight of the
boom on the blocks.
2 Locate the cables from the primary boom cable
track to the platform control box. Number each
cable and its entry location at the platform
control box.
