Proposition 65 Warning
Diesel engine exhaust and some of its constituents are known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, and other reproductive harm.

MACHINE SERIAL NUMBER

The machine serial number is on the Crane Rating Manual located inside the operator's cab. The serial number should always be furnished when ordering parts for the machine or when corresponding with the distributor or factory concerning the machine. Providing the serial number is the only way of ensuring the correct parts and/or information can be furnished. In the event the serial number is not readable, a number is stamped on the upper revolving frame which can be used to identify the machine.

Crane Serial Number

The crane serial number is written on the Crane Rating Manual located in the lower right interior of the upper cab. The crane serial number should always be fur nished when ordering parts for the crane, or when cor responding with the distributor or factory regarding the crane. The serial number is the only method the dis tributor or factory has of ensuring that the correct parts will be furnished. BOOK798 D3041698RSW

In the event the serial number can not be found on the Crane Rating Manual, the number is stamped on top of the bumper on the right side of the carrier and on the right side of the upper frame just below the boom hoist cylinder lug. This number can then be used to identify the crane.

The information in the superseded bulletin is now obsolete and should be discarded. The purpose of this bulletin is to advise of the need to inspect the rear wear blocks on the boom sections. In some applications, the rear wear blocks on the boom sections may wear to the point that boom damage could occur. Wear on the blocks allows the rear of the boom section to drop down enough to damage the telescope cylinders. Excessive wear could also damage the boom chord corner angle that these wear blocks slide on during extension and retraction of the boom. Inspection Periodically inspect the boom sections and measure the height of the rear wear blocks. (Refer to Boom Section Rear Wear Blocks" chart for minimum height.) During the inspection, check the surfaces on the boom chord corner angles where the wear blocks slide during extension and retraction of the boom. Ensure that the surfaces are smooth (no gouges or excessive wear) and that they are coated with a film of grease. If necessary, add a coat of grease on these surfaces. If the wear blocks are below the minimum height, they must be replaced. (Refer to Wear Block Replacement.) Wear Block Replacement For replacement of the wear blocks on D7, E1, E9, and F2 prefix serial number cranes, kits are avail able which contain the necessary parts and instructions. The kit part number for the inner mid boom section is F2M0229. The kit part number for the outer boom section is F2M0227. Order the kits as required from the Link-Belt Parts Department. For replacement of the wear blocks on D3, D6, F3, 53, 57, 58, 59, 63, 64, 65, and 70 prefix serial number cranes, identify the necessary wear block part numbers from the Boom Section Rear Wear Blocks" chart. Order the part as required from the Link-Belt Part Department. Note: All removal of old wear blocks and welding of replacement wear blocks must be per formed by a certified welder using appropriate procedures.

1. Measure and record the location of the old wear blocks.

CAUTION
Use care during the removal process to prevent damage to the boom corner angles. Do not allow removal of any metal from these angles. The structural capabilities of the boom section could be reduced causing boom failure. 2. Cut off the old wear blocks. Weld the new wear blocks in the same location as the old blocks were removed. 3. Fully inspect and lubricate the boom. Refer to the Operator's Manual for procedures. In addi tion, ensure that the surfaces of the boom chord corner angles where the wear blocks slide during extension and retraction of the boom are coated with a film of grease.
