Limit Bypass Test
Perform the following test to determine if the boom up limit
on your crane can be bypassed or not:
1. Lower the boom onto blocking at ground level.
2. Have an assistant push boom up limit switch plunger in
to trip the limit switch open.
3. Rotate limit bypass key to the bypass position and hold.
4. Try to boom up SLOWLY — do not raise the boom any
higher than necessary to perform the test:
a. If the boom rises, your boom up limit can be
bypassed.
b. If the boom does not rise, your boom up limit cannot
be bypassed.
The test is complete: release the limit bypass key and the
boom stop rod to the normal operating positions.
