DO NOT work beneath the boom assembly with the platform elevated unless the boom assembly is
properly supported.
Use a sling and overhead hoist rated for 3 tons (2,700 kg) or more.
Thread the sling around the boom as shown. Proper sling placement should have the sling up against
the cable slide-bracket.
Important:
Sling should NOT wrap around the cable track tube, but between it and the boom.
Connect it to the overhead hoist, then lift enough that the weight of the boom assembly is being
supported by the hoist.
