Load Bearing Capacities
When the telescopic sections are telescoped to a fixed
length during operation with a luffing jib, the RCL changes
the current value as determined by the Load Chart and
displays the maximum load value (8) (Figure 3-189).
Depending on the current angle, the RCL automatically
switches to the Load Chart for fixed angles (0° inclination)
and intermediate angles (0 - 20° or 20 - 40° inclination) when
this is permitted for the load currently being raised.
Raising and Lowering the Hydraulic Boom Extension
The normal operating range for the hydraulic luffing boom
extension (hydraulic luffing jib) is an offset of 0 - 40 degrees.
The extension must be retracted to 0 degree offset for
stowage on the side of the boom.
The hydraulic luffing boom extension is controlled by an ON/
OFF switch and joystick controller on the right-hand armrest.
Refer to Right-Hand Armrest Controls, page 3-11 for location
and description of these switches.
The boom extension may also be controlled by the remote
station on the extension. The station is located on the boom
extension to the front of the luffing hydraulic cylinder, see
(Figure 3-190).
Hydraulic Boom Extension Operation — Cab
In order to enable the operation of the hydraulic luffing jib the
RCL code must be set for the current rigging mode, refer to
Rigging Mode Submenu, page 3-78.
To lower or raise the hydraulic luffing jib, use the controls on
the right-hand armrest:
3. Using the right-hand joystick controller:
- To lower the jib: push the controller to the right,
- To raise the jib: push the controller to the left.
4. Push the top of the Luffing Jib switch again to turn off the
function.
To limit the speed to lower or raise the luffing jib refer to
