How to Remove the Jib Boom
Note: Perform this procedure with the boom in the
stowed position.
Note: When removing a hose assembly or fitting,
the O-ring (if equipped) on the fitting and/or hose
end must be replaced. All connections must be
torqued to specification during installation. Refer to
Specifications, Hydraulic Hose and Fitting Torque
Specifications.
1 Remove the platform.
2 Remove the platform mounting weldment.
3 Remove the hose and cable cover from the
side of the jib boom.
4 Remove the hose and cable clamp from the jib
boom pivot pin. Lay all hoses and cables to

Component damage hazard.
Hoses and cables can be
damaged if they are kinked or
pinched.
5 Tag, disconnect and plug the jib boom lift
cylinder hydraulic hoses. Cap the fittings on
the cylinder.
Bodily injury hazard. Spraying
hydraulic oil can penetrate and
burn skin. Loosen hydraulic
connections very slowly to allow
the oil pressure to dissipate
gradually. Do not allow oil to
squirt or spray.
