4. Loosen capscrews securing the hose clamps
to the inner boom, Fig. 3.16a or Fig. 3.16b.
5. Manually remove all hose slack between the
pulley and the inner boom hose clamps and the
pulley and the outer boom tubes. Pull the
hoses through the hose clamps, towards the
front of the boom, until there is 180° of hose in
contact with the pulley.
6. Pull the hoses 1" further into the hose clamps
so the hose achieves more than 180° of
contact with the pulley and at the same time
tighten the clamp capscrews.
7. If the vehicle has auxilliary hydraulics, replace
the upper hoses and clamps onto the lower
hose clamps. Do not fully tighten the cap-
screws. Repeat steps 4 through 6 for the upper
hoses and clamps.
