WARNING
When lifting at high boom angles with an extended boom,
it is crucial to maintain proper side slide pad adjustment.
Visually check the lateral straightness of the boom before
raising the load. Lifting with a boom which is not visually
straight may cause boom failure and could result in injury
or death.
