and Boom Arms
(Figure 11)
Inspect fasteners on the Boom Arms and Head Assembly to ensure they are tight. Fasteners
securing the Head Assembly to the Mast (C) should be torqued to 90 ft-lbs (1.36 Nm).
Visually inspect the Boom Arms for straightness. Ensure there is no visible deformation or bend,
indicating previous exposure to fall arrest forces.
Make sure the Anchorage Connectin Points (D) are free of corrosion, cracks, or other
imperfections that may cause malfunction during operation.
Adjustable Mast

Base to the Trailer (A) should be torqued to 90 ft-lbs (1.36 Nm)

Raise the Mast with the Hand Crank Chain Drive and inspect the Mast Tubes (B) for structural
defects. The Mast Tubes must be straight without any bends or dents. Ensure the mast raises
and lowers smoothly. NOTE: The Mast may lean slightly when fully raised. This is normal.
Inspect Ratchet Tube (C) for bends, dents, etc., that could impede raising and lowering the Mast.
If Mast Tubes stick or do not lower smoothly, apply several pumps of grease at the indicated
Grease Points (D).
Hand Crank Inspect the Brake Wear Indicator (A) while lowering the Jib Boom. If the Brake Wear Indicator is
in the Red zone (B), remove the Drive Mechanism from service and contact the manufacturer.

Proper chain care is critical to maintain correct mast functionality.
Trailer and Jacks Inspect the Trailer (A) and Jacks (B) for cracks, dents bends, etc. Make sure the Counterweight
(C) is secure and free of damage.
(Figure 14)
Make sure Jacks adjust properly and are pinned securely in place. Inspect the Slope Indicator
(D) and level with the Jacks (B) if slope is greater than 1°.
