Handling Components
Handle the boom and jib sections with care to avoid
damaging the lacings and chords.
All boom sections have lifting lugs as shown in Figure 4-64
.
When the lifting lugs are not used:
• Lift against chords only, never against lacings.
• Use synthetic lifting slings. If wire rope or chain slings
are used, install protective covering (such as sections of
rubber tire) between the slings and the chords.
Refer to Figure 4-65
for the approximate centers of gravity
for the boom sections.
WARNING
Falling Load Hazard!
The lifting lugs on each boom section are designed only
for lifting that section. Do not attempt to lift two or more
boom sections with the lifting lugs on one section. The
lifting lugs may break allowing the boom sections to fall.
CAUTION
Lacing Damage!
Ensure the boom straps and links (Figure 4-64) are
secured in the shipping position on the boom inserts and
top during handling and transportation unloading.
WARNING
Personal Injury or Property Damage!
Ensure the boom straps and links remain properly
secured in the shipping position on the boom inserts and
top during transportation loading or unloading and
assembly or disassembly of the boom. The straps and
links could shift or fall resulting in personal injury or
property damage if not properly secured.
