Backstops
This crane is equipped with mechanical type back
stops. Refer to Figure 4-1. The backstops are con
nected to the upper frame and the boom or the live
mast. The backstops are used to limit the movement of
the boom or live mast at minimum radius. The back
stops have telescoping ends that extend and retract to
allow for adequate movement of the boom or live mast.
When the boom or live mast approaches minimum ra

dius, the spring loaded bumpers on the backstops pro
vide a cushioning effect. Once the boom or live mast
contacts these bumpers, the boom hoist limit switch is
activated and the boom hoist function is disabled. Re
fer to Boom Hoist Limit System" in Section 1 of this Op

steps necessary for safe jib assembly, disassembly,
and installation on the tubular and angle booms.
Depending upon job site conditions and the availability
of auxiliary equipment, these procedures can be
modified using only known, proven, safe procedures to
increase the efficiency of the jib installation.
Regardless of the specific method used for the installa
tion of the jib, certain procedures must be followed to
prevent reckless or inadvertent dropping of the jib or jib
mast. Improper assembly or disassembly of the jib
also can lead to severe personal injury or death.
Unrepairable damage to jib could also occur. Any
questions regarding safe jib assembly or disassembly
procedures should be directed to your Distributor.
5. Stay clear of pinch points when aligning jib section

connecting points. Never place your fingers in
connecting pin holes.
6. Fully assemble the jib before installing it on the
boom. Do not attempt to add or remove jib exten
sions with the jib installed on the boom. Properly
remove the jib from the boom before modifying the
jib length.
8. The jib cannot be used on boom lengths longer
than 190 ft (57.9m) on the tubular boom and 140 ft
(42.7m) on the angle boom.
Jib Capacity
The jib capacity is limited by the strength of jib
components and stability of the machine for any
combination of the following variables:
Boom length
DANGER

understand all jib assembly, disassembly and
safety instructions outlined in this Operator's
Manual. Failure to follow these instructions
could result in severe personal injury or
death.
The basic jib is 30' (9.1m) long and consists of a 15'
(4.6m) top and a 15' (4.6m) base section held together
by four pins. Additional extensions are available in 15'
(4.6m) lengths to assemble a maximum 60' (18.3m) of
jib. The jib mounts to lugs on the boom top section.
There are limitations as to the amount of boom a jib can
be mounted. See the Crane Rating Manual for
allowable boom and jib lengths.

The basic jib frontstay pendant, which runs from the
headshaft link, around the equalizer sheave on the jib
strut, and back to the other headshaft link, is 63' 5"
(19.3m) long. For addition of a jib extension, two 14' 6"
(4.4m) pendants must be added to the basic jib
frontstay pendant for each extension.
Before making any lifts with the jib, always consult the
jib capacities in the Crane Rating Manual. Make sure
the load being lifted is within the rated capacity of the jib
under the existing conditions.
Safety Instructions

performing any jib assembly or disassembly:
semble or disassemble the jib.
2. Do not stand inside, on top, or under the jib at any
time while assembling or disassembling the jib.
3. To avoid personal injury, do not climb, stand, or
walk on the jib. Use a ladder or similar device to
reach necessary areas.
4. Each individual jib section must be adequately
supported before attempting to disassemble the
jib. Removing the connecting pins from the jib be

and hooks to another set of links at the other side of the
base of the boom top section. Refer to Figure 4-90.
Changing Jib Angle

To change the jib angle with respect to the boom,
proceed as follows:
1. The basic jib backstay pendants position the jib at
a 5 offset to the boom. Refer to Figure 4-89.
2. To position the jib at a 15 angle, add one 3' 4.5"
(1.03m) pendant to the basic jib backstay pendant.
3. To position the jib at a 25 angle, add two 3' 4.5"
(1.03m) pendants to the basic jib backstay pen
dant.
Tubular Jib Assembly
1. Layout the jib on blocking and assemble the de

sired length. Refer to Figure 4-89.
2. Pin the jib strut to the jib base section.
4-60
Do not stand or work below the jib strut at

anytime. If the jib strut falls you may be
injured or killed.
6. With a helper crane, raise the jib strut and connect
the front jib strut backstops.
7. Disconnect the helper crane from the jib strut. If
necessary, use the helper crane to raise the jib top
section to allow connection of the jib backstay pen
dants to the links on the boom upper section.
Note: Two sets of backstay links are required.
The links fit over the lifting lug on the pin con
nection and are held together by two bolts with
a spacer between the links.
8. Assemble the rear jib strut backstops between the
jib strut and the boom top section. If necessary,
raise the main boom up to get sufficient distance
between jib strut and boom top section to install jib
strut backstops.
9. Properly reeve the jib with winch rope. Refer to
Wire Rope Reeving Diagram" in Section 5 or this
Operator's Manual.
10. Refer to Liftoff Capabilities" in the Crane Rating
Manual for traveling the machine. Refer to the
Crane Rating Manual for all lifting capacities.
Changing Jib Length
1. If it is necessary to change the length of the jib

(adding or removing jib sections), the jib must be
lowered onto blocking to make the change. Follow
the Tubular Jib Disassembly" procedures to lower
the jib and disassemble it as required. If removing
jib sections to shorten the jib, remove them at this
point. If adding jib sections and/or reassembling
different length jib sections, follow the procedures
in Tubular Jib Assembly" to assemble the desired
jib length.
Operator's Manual
Tubular Jib Disassembly
