MAST LOCK INSPECTION & ADJUSTMENT INSTRUCTIONS All SwapLoader hook-lift hoists come with a mast lock (safety latch) assembly that is located on the bottom side of the outer tube. When the jib is extended the mast lock then engages the latch bars (forks) on the pivot joint, making the jib, outer tube, and pivot joint into a continuous member for raising the container or body up into a dump mode.

5. Once the 1/4" clearance is achieved, then tighten the jam nut. Make sure to hold the adjustment bolt from turning when tightening the jam nut. Please contact your SwapLoader Distributor or SwapLoader USA should you have any questions regarding this procedure.
Page 83
JIB LOCKOUT VALVE INSPECTION & ADJUSTMENT INSTRUCTIONS All SwapLoader hook-lift hoists have a jib lockout valve (see illustration below) to prevent accidental operation of the telescopic jib, while the hoist is up in a dump mode. Because the jib lockout valve can block the flow of hydraulic oil to the jib cylinder, should the valve come out of adjustment the telescopic jib may experience a reduction in extension or retraction speed to the point of stalling out.
