5.2.3 BOOM BREAK-AWAYS
Each boom is designed with a
break-away hinge that allows it
to swing backward or forwards as
required when encountering an
obstruction to prevent mechani-
cal damage from the obstruction.
To adjust the break-away tension,
follow this procedure:
1.
Clear the area of bystand-
ers, especially small children,
before starting.
2.
Place all controls in neutral,
stop engine, set park brake,
remove ignition key and wait
for all moving parts to stop
before dismounting.
3.
Use the bolt to compress or
relax the spring clamping
force of the break-away hinge
as required.
4.
The proper tension will re-
quire one person pulling hard
on the end of the boom to
break it away.
