Jib Safety EEC-0045 V1.1
Jib Safety
I. Area where jib swings around must be clear of obstructions and power lines when
stowing and unstowing jib.
J. Use safety glasses when pounding pins with hammer.
K. Do not extend/retract boom unless boom is horizontal when stow pin ‘A’ and jib-
swing pin ‘B’ are removed during stowing or unstowing procedures.
L. Always put spring clips in pins to ensure that they will stay in place.
M. When the jib is stowed, the boom cannot be fully retracted if a boom tip attachment
option is installed.
N. For manually extendable jib options:
1. Extension retaining pin ‘E’ must always be installed before operation.
2. All swing around (stow and unstowing) operations shall be done with jib
retracted and pinned.
3. Extendable section may slide out of 1st section jib when pin ‘E’ is removed. Keep
personnel clear of area.
Visually inspect all pin positions to assure jib is fully retracted into side stow
brackets, jib stow attachment is secure, and all pins and spring clips are in their
proper locations. Failure to properly secure the jib during stowing and erecting
may allow the jib to fall. Serious personal injury or death could result.
Always have at least one, if not both of the following in place at all times:
1. Side stow bracket completely engaged into stow hook with stow pin ‘A’
properly in place.
2. Both pins ‘C1’ in upper and lower jib holes properly in place through
mating holes in boom tip.
