JIB INSTALLATION AND ADJUSTMENT
1. Loosely bolt the two ear assemblies with shims and bars 
as shown to the side of the first boom section. Note: All 
measurements are in inches (mm).
2. Loosely bolt the hook assembly to the side of the first 
boom section.
3. Extend the boom approximately one foot (300 mm).
4. Using an overhead hoist, lift the jib assembly and align 
and pin the jib to the boom sheave head.
5. With jib pinned to the sheave head, swing the jib parallel 
to the boom and install the pin which keeps the jib from 
swinging (the pin is welded to a chain on the end of the 
jib).
6. Slowly retract the boom until the jib ears are within 
0.50 in (13 mm) of the ear assemblies on the first 
section. Observe the vertical alignment of the jib ears 
and ear assemblies and add or remove shims until the 
jib is supported by the jib ears. The jib will typically rest 
only on the upper support.
7. Observe the horizontal alignment of the slot in the ear 
assemblies and the stow pin in the jib. Horizontal 
adjustment of the stow ears is provided by oversize bolt
