MLC165-1 OPERATOR MANUAL SETUP AND INSTALLATION
Install the Jib Load Lines
1. Route the load lines up the boom and jib. See
Figure 4-99 on page 4-127
.
2. The socket and wedge do not have to be removed from
the load line. Removing the rope guards (3, Figure 4-89

allows the wire rope to be routed over the strut and jib
point sheaves with the socket and wedge installed. Be
sure to reinstall the rope guards when done.
3. Pull the load lines approximately 20 ft (6,1 m) past the
end of the jib.
4. Install the load block or hook-and-weight ball after the jib
is raised to a convenient height. See Boom Raising
Procedure on page 4-51.
5. Read the following topics:
• Wire Rope Installation on page 4-117
• Load Line Reeving on page 4-126.
• The Wire Rope Specifications chart located in the
Capacity Chart Manual supplied with the crane for:
- Parts of the line required for various loads
- Wire rope lengths and notes about hoisting
distance for various parts of the line
- Maximum spooling capacity of the load drums
• Reeving diagrams in Figure 4-100 on page 4-128
