Connect Backstay Pendants to Boom
See Figure 4-84 for the following procedure.
1. Pin the backstay links (10) to the backstay lugs (11).
2. Raise the jib strut (1):
a. Using appropriate slings, attach a hook from an
assist crane to the jib strut (1).
b. Slowly lift the strut over-center with the assist crane.
Use extreme caution not to side load the strut while

fork-lift truck or another crane.

backstay links (10, Figure 4-84

to backstay links (10).
