NOTE: This procedure assumes the boom extension base
and fly sections are stowed on the side of the main
boom.
1. Make sure the counterweight is installed. For more
information, see Counterweight Removal and
Installation, page 5-12.
2. Make sure the crane is set up on fully-extended
outriggers. For more information, see Using the
Outriggers, page 4-21.
3. Retract and lower the boom to horizontal.
4. Connect boom extension electrical connectors. For
more information, see Boom Extension and Lattice
Insert Electrical Connections, page 5-72.

hydraulic hoses. For more information, see Hydraulic
Boom Extension Connections, page 5-73.
6. If erecting an optional hydraulic boom extension, make
sure the angle indicator (1, Figure 5-44) is aligned. If the
arrows are not aligned, adjust the boom extension offset
as needed to align the arrows. For more information, see
Setting the (Optional) Hydraulic Boom Extension Offset,
page 5-79.

the bracket (2) to release the rear boom extension ramp
(3) from the stowed position. Swing the rear boom
