Supporting The Boom Assembly
NEVER perform work under the boom assembly with the platform elevated without first supporting the
boom assembly.
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 (2700 kg) or more.
Thread the sling through the opening in the boom post as shown below. Connect it to the
overhead hoist, then lift enough that the weight of the boom assembly is being supported by
the hoist.
