15. Bolt the hook assembly through the hole on the jib extension using the 90 mm bolt, washer, lock washer and nut. 16. Connect the handle to the rear of the main support post using the two remaining bolts and lock washers.
OPERATION WARNING: IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT THE ARM LOCKING PINS ARE IN PLACE BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANY LIFTING TASKS. FAILURE TO INSTALL THESE WOULD RESULT IN THE CRANE TIPPING FORWARD WHEN SUBJECTED TO ANY LOAD. RAISING THE JIB IMPORTANT: Make sure that the hook is directly above the point of lift, which in turn is directly above the centre of gravity of the load.
