Setup—Versi-Boom™ System: Assembling Boom Components
Using Double Boom, Elbow and Nose Units:
Use only Greenlee supplied boom tubes, 3" rigid steel
conduit or 3" schedule 40 steel pipe (less than 10') with
the Versi-Boom™ systems.
1. Place boom tube into receptacle of boom mount.
Boom tube must slide completely into boom mount.
Make sure the boom tube can be seen through the
sight holes.
2. Tighten the set screws.
3. Adjust elbow to an appropriate angle and lock in
place with long pin and hitch clip.
4. Slide either end of elbow over boom tube. Boom
tube must slide completely into elbow unit. Make
sure the boom tube can be seen through the sight
holes.
5. Tighten set screws.
6. Slide second boom tube into elbow unit. Boom tube
must slide completely into elbow unit. Make sure
the boom tube can be seen through the sight holes.
7. Tighten set screws.
8. Slip nose unit onto boom tube. Nose unit should
fit completely over the boom tube. Make sure the
boom tube can be seen in the sight holes.
9. Tighten set screws.
Note: The nose unit of the boom should attach to the
coupler so that the cable being pulled will pass directly
onto the sheave without dragging over the edges of
the coupler. The boom nose unit has been designed so
that the sheave is in perfect alignment with the conduit
whenever any two sets of holes from the nose unit and
coupler line up.
10. Raise the boom assembly and slide the nose unit
over the coupler (see Using Couplers). BOTH
mounting plates of the nose unit should be
OUTSIDE the mounting plates of the coupler.
11. Find two sets of holes on the nose unit that most
closely line up with coupler holes.
12. Insert short pin through holes closest to the conduit.
Lock in place with a hitch clip. Use two pins when-
ever possible.

Note: If a slip-in coupler is being used to straddle the
conduit (see Using Couplers), two pins MUST be used
to connect nose unit and coupler. Some extra adjust-
ment may be required to install second pin.
Two pins must be used if coupler is not fully inserted
or attached to conduit. Nose unit may collapse,
causing serious injury or death.
Shear Point:
Never put fingers through holes
in boom components. Pivoting of
mating parts may cut off fingers.
Always keep elbow unit locked with
pivot pin except while adjusting.
STRAIGHT EDGE
Proper assembly of elbow unit
must be maintained. If elbow is dis-
assembled, it must be reassembled
with the proper orientation as shown.
Improper assembly could result in
collapse of boom.
