OPERATION GUIDELINES
HYDRAULIC JIB EXTENSION (OPTIONAL)
The jib extension can be adjusted hydraulically in the range of cylinder movement. If the jib must be
extended or retracted more than cylinder stroke allows do the following:
Do not extend under load.
1. Install pin (2) and remove pin (1).
2. Extend or retract cylinder to next hole for desired direction and insert pin (1).
3. Remove pin (2).
4. Hydraulic extendable jib is now ready for use.
5. If a longer jib is required, repeat steps 1 and 2.
NOTE: One pin, either (1) or (2), must always be installed to hold jib in position.
NOTE: Cannot extend under load except as a conductor lift when the jib is within 30 degrees of
vertical.
NOTE: Do not extend or retract the jib with a load suspended, adjust prior to lifting the load.
DETERMINING LIFT CAPACITIES
The Aerial Device is equipped with an upper boom angle indicator and load chart on the side of the upper
boom near the platform.
The load capacity must be assured for the entire range of the boom motion throughout a lift. Must insure
capacity is not exceeded at any point during load movement.
After placing booms and jib in position for lifting the load. Refer to the load chart and find the number below
the pointer in line with the load radius. The load radius is defined on the jib capacity chart. The capacity
given here is the capacity of the machine for the unit's position.
NOTE: Load charts shown are for an example only. Each Aerial Device has its custom made load
chart which may have different capacities than shown here.
NOTE: The capacities given on the unit load chart are based on unit setup with the turntable or
truck bed being level.
