3. Fasten the lifting slings and a hoist to stick cylinder (3) as shown.4. Disconnect two tube assemblies (4) at the head end of the stick cylinder. A small amount of oil will drain from tube assemblies (4). Drain the oil from tube assemblies (4) in a suitable container for disposal. Put plugs in the ends of the tube assemblies to keep contaminants out of the hydraulic system. Disconnect the lubrication line for the mounting pin assembly at the head end of the stick cylinder.5. Remove pin assembly retaining bolt (1), the washer, pin assembly (2) and the spacer. Remove pin assembly retaining bolt (6), the washer, pin assembly (5) and the spacer. Remove stick cylinder (3). The weight of the stick cylinder is 424 kg (935 lb). Machines may be equipped with shims between the stick cylinder and the boom at the stick cylinder-to-boom pin joint and at the stick cylinder and stick at the stick cylinder-to-stick pin joint. For assembly purposes, put identification marks on the shims as to their location.6. Remove the shims (if so equipped) at the stick cylinder-to-boom pin joint and the stick cylinder-to-stick pin joint. The following steps are for the installation of the stick cylinder.7. Make sure the pin bores in the stick cylinder, the boom and the stick are clean and free of dirt prior to the installation of the stick cylinder.8. Fasten a hoist to stick cylinder (3), and put in position on the boom and the stick. Make sure the pin bores in the stick cylinder are in alignment with the pin bores in the stick and the boom.9. Put a thin coat of 5P-0960 Multipurpose Grease on pin assemblies (2) and (5). Temporarily install the spacers and the two pin assemblies. Do Not remove the hoist from the stick cylinder at this time.
Typical Example10. Slide the stick cylinder to one side until it makes contact with the boom and the stick. Measure the total clearance between the stick cylinder and the boom and the stick cylinder and the stick at each pin bore. The total clearance of "a" and "b" must not be more than 1.0 mm (.04 in) at each pin bore. If the total clearance is less than 1.0 mm (.04 in), the addition of shims between the stick cylinder and the boom or the stick cylinder and the stick will not be required. If the total clearance is more than 1.0 mm (.04 in), add the correct thickness of shims to obtain the necessary clearance.11. If it has been determined that shims need to be installed between the stick cylinder and the boom and the stick cylinder and the stick, remove pin assemblies (2) and (5) and the spacers. Install the shims between the stick cylinder and the boom and the stick cylinder and the stick on the side opposite the pin assembly retaining bolts; then reinstall the spacers and pin assemblies (2) and (5). Install pin assembly retaining bolts (1) and (6) that
