INSTALLING THE BI-FOLD MANUAL JIB
1.
Before installing the jib make sure the crane is set up on
outriggers using normal setup procedures. Refer to
Operating Controls and Procedures
NOTE:
An auxiliary crane with sling is required to install
the bi-fold jib.
2.
Check the transport condition of the bi-fold extension.
3.
Using an auxiliary crane, attach sling to the bi-fold
extension.
4.
Lift the bi-fold extension in front of the main boom with
the auxiliary crane and lock the 10.1 m (33 ft) section to
the right of the main boom head (Figure 4-10).
5.
Pin the left side to the boom nose.
6.
Establish electrical connection between the extension
and the main boom.
7.
For units equipped with hydraulic luffing jib, establish
hydraulic connections between the extension and the
main boom.
NOTE:
You can also install the bi-fold swingaway jib in
front of a 4.9 m (16 ft) section.
Checking the Transport Condition
For transportation you must establish certain connections
between both parts of the lattice extension. The connections
which need to be established depend on whether the lattice
extension:
-
is folded up at the side of the main boom for
transportation or
-
is completely removed for transportation.
You must check transport condition:
-
After stowing the lattice extension, before you drive
the crane with the lattice extension folded at the side
or work with the main boom.
-
Before installation and before erecting the lattice
extension.

WARNING
To prevent serious injury or death, always wear personal
protective equipment; i.e., a hard hat, eye protection,
gloves and metatarsal boots.
WARNING
Be careful not to damage the lattice extension and the
main boom. Always put the lattice extension into transport
condition when folded at the side or working with the main
boom. Only then is the lattice extension secured against
slipping. This way you prevent the partly fastened lattice
extension hitting the main boom or the individual
components of the lattice extension hitting each other and
becoming damaged.
