A. CRADLING THE BOOMS
75
TRANSPORTING
The booms should always be cradled before traveling, transporting, or parking for an extended period of
time.
The booms must be folded when cradled
.
To cradle the booms, fold the boom extensions in, raise the transom, and fold the booms in toward the
machine. When the boom reaches the last 8-10 degrees of travel, it will automatically slow down to avoid im-
pact with the cradle. Raise each individual boom level until it clears the outer cradle stop (fig. 6.75-1). Fold the
boom in toward the cradle back-stop. When it touches the back-stop, lower the boom level until the full weight
of the boom rests in the cradle (fig. 6.75-2).
