Handling Jib Sections
When lifting lugs are not provided, as in the case of jibs:
• Lift against the chords only, never against the lacings.
• Use synthetic lifting slings. If wire rope or chain slings
are used, use protective covering (such as sections of
rubber tire) between the slings and the chords.
