the front of the crane.
2. To set the offset from zero degrees (0°) to thirty degrees
(30°), perform the following:
a. Slowly lower the boom until the tip of the swingaway
is on the ground and the pressure on the offset pin is
relieved.
b. Remove the lock pin, two washers, and offset pin.
c. Slowly elevate and telescope the boom at the same
time until the offset shaft takes the full load of the
swingaway.
3. To set the offset from thirty degrees (30°) to zero

DANGER
When stowing the boom extension, ensure that all
personnel and equipment are kept clear of the swing path.
CAUTION
Do not allow the boom extension to slam into the stowage
bracket when swinging into the stowed position.
CAUTION
The mast assembly must be positioned on top of the base
section before attempting to offset the swingaway to 30
degrees. Failure to do so can cause damage to the mast
and/or swingaway adapter.
CAUTION
Do not overload the swingaway or the attachment points
when lowering the boom.
