OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Revised: October 20053 - 16RT700
INCREASING OFFSET
1. Retract the boom and set the outriggers.
2. Boom down to minimum boom angle.
3. Loosen the two (2) cap screws on the left side of the
upper and lower sheave shafts. This will require a 3/
4 inch hex wrench.
4. Reeve the hoist line over the top center sheave on
the boom head, around the jib sheave, and attach to
the eye on the bottom of the jib tip.
5. Winch up to take the slack out of the hoist line and to
take the weight of the jib off of the jib offset pins.
NOTE: To prevent damaging the jib, do not winch up
any more than is necessary to loosen the jib
offset pins.
6. Remove the jib offset pins from the 0° offset hole
and place in the 15° hole or if you are using 30° off-
set then place pins in tool box.
7. With the engine at idle, slowly winch down to pay out
hoist cable. This will lower the tip of the jib until the
jib comes in contact with the jib offset pins.
NOTE: While lowering the tip of the jib, it may be
necessary to raise the boom to prevent the tip
of the jib from touching the ground.
8. Remove the hoist line from the tip of the jib and
reeve the hoist line as needed.
DECREASING OFFSET
1. Reverse above procedure to return jib to 0° offset
position.
