Boom Swing Operation
Before rotating the boom, be sure there is enough
clearance on all sides and that all persons are away
from the area. A pinch point between the operator’s cab
and mast can cause injury or death.
To Rotate the Boom to the Left (Counterclockwise)
Press the accelerator pedal to increase the engine speed to
maximum RPM. Slowly pull back on the swing control lever
(Figure 3-28) until the desired swing speed is obtained. The
farther the control is pulled back the faster the boom will
rotate.
To Stop Rotation
Slowly move the control lever to the neutral position and
decrease the engine speed to idle.
To Rotate the Boom Right (Clockwise)
Press the accelerator pedal to increase the engine speed to
maximum RPM. Slowly push forward on the swing control
lever (Figure 3-28) until the desired swing speed is obtained.
The farther the control is pushed forward the faster the boom
will rotate.
NOTE: Never put side loads on the boom. Side loads can
damage the swing gearbox. Move the boom so that
it is directly above the load before lifting the load.
