CAUTION When installing AutoBoom hydraulics or performing diagnostics, maintenance, or routine service, ensure precautions are taken to prevent foreign material from being introduced into the machine’s hydraulic valve.
Chapter 3 Install Fittings on the AutoBoom Valve Before mounting the AutoBoom valve on the machine, install the proper fittings on the valve. This prepares the valve for installation and simplifies the hose connection process later in the procedure. Refer to the following table to install the fittings in the appropriate ports of the AutoBoom valve.

PowerGlide Secure the mounting plate the to machine’s center rack using two 2-9/16” W x 3-1/2” L x 3/8” thread U-bolts (P/N 107-0171-616) and four 3/8”-16 zinc flanged lock nuts (P/N 312-1001-164). Note: The valve should be mounted to the top right side on the machine’s center rack, with Ports LC, RC, LV, and RV facing up.
Chapter 3 Install the straight end of the supplied hydraulic hose (P/N 214-1000-136) to the opposite end of the installed fitting. Connect the 90° end of the installed hydraulic hose to the installed fitting in Port EF of the AutoBoom valve. Disconnect the machine’s tank hose from the machine’s hydraulic valve.
PowerGlide Install a 9/16” JIC (M) to 1/2” NPT (M) 90° elbow fitting (P/N 333-0012-158) to the 90° end of the installed tee fitting. Install one end of the supplied hydraulic hose (P/N 214-1000-400) to the installed elbow fitting.

PowerGlide Install the Gauge Wheels Gauge Wheel Mounting Locations Wheel mounting locations may be influenced by the boom configuration. Determine the appropriate location for mounting the wheels on the boom, ensuring the wheels will not interfere with or be damaged while folding or unfolding the booms.
Chapter 3 Install the PowerGlide Wiring Wiring Connections CAUTION Always connect the power cable as the last step in the wiring process and verify that the power leads are connected with the correct polarity. Reversing power leads can cause severe damage to the equipment. For wiring connections made outside the cab, apply dielectric silicone grease (P/N 222-0000-006) generously on both the male and female ends of the connectors.
PowerGlide Use a 16-18 gauge scotch lock parallel splice connector (P/N 405-2001-079) to connect the left tilt down coil wire to the Left Solenoid Sense Down connector.
