Menu 08 – Boom Deflection
This menu is used to enter the deflection of the main boom under the weight of a calibrated load. Boom
deflection is a natural occurrence and can have a significant effect on the boom radius under load. In
order to properly calibrate boom deflection the boom needs to be fully extended at an approximate 65°
angle. The load used should be approximately 80% of rated capacity for the single part line. Generally
this capacity will be approximately 7000 to 8000 pounds.
