Remove Top from Shipping Position
See Figure 4-5 for the following procedure.

equalizer forks (2) so boom hoist equalizer (3) cannot
fall off forks when step 6 is performed.
2. Disconnect lifting slings from mast butt.
3. Attach lifting slings from assist crane to lifting lugs (4,
View A) on mast top (5). Hoist so slings are just taut.

blocking in front of mast butt at dimension given in View
F.
7. Disconnect lifting slings from mast top.

See Figure 4-5 for the following procedure.
1. Attach lifting slings from assist crane to lifting lugs (4,
View G) on insert (9).
