6.7.2. Order of operations for use with jib
Preparation
 Make sure the machine is supported on the outriggers, with the tracks just above the ground.
 Make sure the jib is correctly attached to the boom, as described for use of the jib (see section
6.6.1).
 Make sure the attachments have been removed from the jib and stored and secured in place.
 Make sure the boom and jib are horizontal and retracted,
Mounting winch head and attaching winch cable
 Remove the winch head from the support on the boom, and mount the winch head to the jib
with the locking pin. Secure the pin.
 Use one hand to operate the joystick for the winch and use the other hand to hold the winch
cable and keep it under tension. Roll out the winch cable until approximately one metre in front
of the machine. Keep the winch cable under tension while rolling it out.
 Run the winch cable over the winch cable sheaves of the jib as shown in the figures. Check that
the winch cable has been run over the winch sheaves correctly. Refit the retainers.
 Guide the winch cable over the winch head and attach the winch weight as described under
'basic use of winch' (see section 6.7.7).
Check
 Make sure all the pins and loose parts are properly attached and secured.
 Make sure the winch cable does not get caught on the boom and jib structure.
When the jib is installed:
 Slide the cable through the opening between the two
cable rollers (see figure 74). Now release the cable
between the two rollers. Insert the eye through the
recessed support. Now place the cable in the cable roller
by holding the cable in the upper notch and sliding the
roller under it. Now the cable can drop into the roller,
and the roller with cable can be slid back into the middle.
 Pass the cable through the plastic slot so that it runs through the
hole (see figure 75).
