3. Using the jib pole, pull the front latch handle (1)
(Figure 4-61) down to put the latch pin in position to lock
the extension against the main boom.
4. Remove the retaining clips from the pins (1)
(Figure 4-62) securing the extension to the left side of
the boom nose and remove the pins from the connecting
lugs (2). Insert the pins in the storage locations (3) and
secure with the retaining clips.
5. Disconnect the tag line from the boom nose and pull the
front of the extension around so it rides up onto the run-
up ramp (2) (Figure 4-60) and the locking lug (3)
(Figure 4-61) is fully engaged by front latch pin (2).
DANGER
Crushing Hazard!
Ensure the pins on the right side are properly installed and
the extension is secured from swinging around before
disconnecting the left side pins. Death or serious injury
could occur.
DANGER
If the front latch pin (2) (Figure 4-61) does not engage the
36 ft (11 m) extension, STOP. DO NOT continue to stow
the boom extensions until the front latch pin has properly
engaged the extension and the horizontal locking pin (1)
(Figure 4-63) has been installed correctly.
DO NOT climb onto decking or walk under boom
extensions.
Severe injury or death may occur if the front latching
mechanism is not properly attached to the boom
extensions; the boom extensions may fall or swing away
from the main boom stowage brackets.
Contact Manitowoc Crane Care for correct adjustments if
unable to align the extension with the spring pin or the
locking pin.
