counterweight.
3. Perform following steps in operator’s cab:
a. Turn off boom hoist (Drum 4) park switch.
b. Turn on setup remote control in function mode
screen of main display.
c. If not already done, fully raise mast arms (2, View C)
using switch in operator’s.
4. Lower mast (boom down) to a minimum of 150°.
Mast must be positioned at this angle so it does not
contact mast arms when gantry is lowered.
Otherwise, damage will occur.
5. Fully extend gantry cylinders (5, View B) with remote
control until rod ends are snug against gantry.
6. Remove pins (6, View B) from storage and pin cylinder
rods ends to gantry.

b. Pin stabilizer rods (10, View E) in shipping position
with snap pins (11).
8. Remove cotter pins and disengage backhitch pins (12,
View B) with remote control. Keep pins disengaged until
gantry is lowered (step 9
).
Visually check that both backhitch pins are fully
disengaged.
