Adjust the offset of the davit as required for the job at hand by loosening the Clamp Knob, sliding the
Boom Extension Tube to the required position, and tightening the Clamp Knob to lock the Extension Tube
in place. Tighten the Clamp Knob until you hear and feel the internal ratchet click at least twice to ensure
proper engagement of the Overload Indicator.
Under all normal working loads, the Boom Extension Tube is locked in place when the Clamp Knob is
tightened. If system mis-use applies excessive load to the system, the Extension Tube slides back inside
the Receiver Tube to effectively shorten the arm and reduce loading to protect other parts of the system.
Movement of the Extension Tube under loading indicates that excessive force is being applied to the
system, and the activity causing the movement MUST BE stopped immediately.
