Boom/Mast Hoist Operation
See Figure 3-18 for boom/mast hoist operation.
In standard configuration the boom/mast hoist handle is on
the left console. When the crane is configured with a luffing
jib, boom/mast hoist handle is the last load drum handle D on
right console.
1. Select crane configuration and capacity charts on RCL
display, Configuration screen.
2. Turn off Drum 4 or Drum 5 park switch.
3. Increase engine speed to desired RPM with hand
throttle. Depress foot throttle to momentarily increase
engine speed when more power is required.
4. See Figure 3-18
. Push boom/mast hoist handle
FORWARD from off to LOWER boom or pull handle
BACK from off to RAISE boom.
5. As boom nears desired angle, slowly move handle
toward off to decrease speed. Then move handle to off
to stop boom and hold it in position and brake will apply.
NOTE: Besides a boom up limit, a physical boom stop
cushions boom raising between approximately 78°
and the maximum angle. The boom stop also
provides a physical stop at 90°.
6. Turn on park switch if boom angle will not be changed.
CAUTION
Avoid Rigging Damage!
Check that boom/mast hoist wire rope is reeved through
all sheaves and spooled properly onto drum before
raising boom from ground.
• See Boom Rigging Drawing in Section 4 for wire rope
and reeving specifications.
• See Wire Rope Installation in Section 4 for
instructions on attaching wire rope to boom.

CAUTION
Avoid Boom or Jib Damage!
Do not turn on drum park switch while raising or lowering
boom; brake will bring boom to an abrupt stop. This action
could cause shock load damage to boom and jib. Bring
boom to a smooth stop with handle and then turn on drum
park switch.
WARNING
Avoid Two-Blocking Hazard!
Pay out load lines while lowering boom. Load may contact
boom point or jib point sheaves if this step is not taken.
Wire rope or other parts could break allowing load to fall.
CAUTION
Avoid Rigging Damage!
When lowering boom to ground:
• If equipped, disconnect fixed jib stop before jib point
contacts ground.
• If equipped, remove upper boom point before upper
point contacts ground.
• If equipped, disengage luffing jib stop at specified
boom to luffing jib angle (see Luffing Jib Rigging
Guide).
