• The link (D) shall contact the jib stop assembly (C). Use the extend (G) and retract (H) hydraulic lines to move
the link (D) into position.
• Loosen the jamb nut (E) on the spring assembly (A).
• Adjust the nut against the flat washer (F) until the rod guide distance (B) is approximately 117.0 mm (4.61 in)

Before removing the spring assemblies (A), tension shall be relieved from the rod guides by decreasing
the rod guide distance (B).
• Connect the Arctic 15 hydraulic circuit on the Portable Power Unit (J) to the extend (G) and retract (H) hydraulic
lines. Then fully extend each hydraulic cylinder (I) as shown below.
• After fully extending the hydraulic cylinders (I), disconnect the Portable Power Unit (J) from each hydraulic
