NOTE:
Look for overhead obstructions before raising the
boom. Possible damage or electrocution could
occur if the boom comes in contact with overhead
power lines.
To Extend the Booms
Press the accelerator pedal to increase the engine speed to
maximum rpm. Slowly push forward on the telescope control
lever (Figure 3-52) until the desired extend speed is

the boom will extend.

Slowly move the control lever to the neutral position and
decrease the engine speed to idle.
To Retract the Booms
Press the accelerator pedal to increase the engine speed to
maximum rpm. Slowly pull back on the telescope control
lever (Figure 3-52) until the desired retract speed is
obtained. The further the control is pulled back the faster the
boom will retract.
