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).
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.
