14� Due to the weight of the jib, most times it is difficult to get the top pin of the jib to the boom head
installed� Proceed with installing the lower curb side pin and retainer of the jib to boom head�
Retract the rear outrigger jack cylinders while the front outrigger arms remain fully extended� Lower
the boom so the jib head sheave can make contact with a wood block on the ground surface� This
will require the boom to be extended to reach ground level�
NOTE:
Avoid allowing the jib tp to come in contact with soft surfaces (i.e. dirt, sand or gravel) as
material can become wedged between jib tip sheave and side plates.
