GRT9165 OPERATOR MANUAL SET-UP AND INSTALLATION
15. Visually confirm that the front boom extension pin (Pin
#2 in the ODM) is unlocked. The boom extension
interlock handle should be in the down position. When
the handle is in the down position, the front mounting pin
is retracted and the boom installation pins are locked.
NOTE: The front mounting pin (Pin #2) will not unlock
unless the right side boom extension installation
pins are fully engaged. If the front mounting pin
does not unlock, make sure the right side boom
extension pins are fully engaged and the cable
ends are inserted through the pins.
16. Using the tag line, swing the boom extension to the front
of the main boom. Align the boom extension anchor
fittings (1) with the main boom attachment fittings (2).
17. Install four pins (5, Figure 5-40) and retaining clips (6) to
secure the boom extension to the boom nose. If
necessary, remove the upper (7) and lower (8) hoist
rope rods and retaining clips (9) to install the pins (5).
Use the jack (1, Figure 5-56) as necessary to install the
fourth pin as necessary as follows:
a. Install three pins to attach the boom extension to the
boom nose.
b. Operate the jack handle (2) to align the holes on the
boom extension with the hole in the boom nose.
c. Install the fourth pin. Secure the fourth pin with
retaining clip.
d. Turn the nob (3) to relieve the pressure to retract the
jack pin.
18. In the ODM, make sure the ODM shows that the boom
extension is deployed.

DANGER
When erecting the boom extension, make sure that all
personnel and equipment are kept clear of the swing path.
CAUTION
After installing the fourth pin, turn the pressure relief nob
(3) to retract the jack so the jack does not contact the
boom nose. Failure to retract the jack could result in
damage to the boom extension jack.
