port its weight. Remove the bolt and keeper pin secur-
ing the jib pivot pin and remove the pin.

4.10 JIB SHIMMING PROCEDURES

Jib Straight Shimming Procedure

1. Install the Jib Lock Cylinder and fully extend the rod
through the bearing housings in the jib rotator and jib
pivot.
2. Alight the jib pivot straight with the jib assembly.
3. Insert shims (16 and 20 gauge) between the wear pad
and the pivot pad mount.
4. Add enough shims as required to fill the gap between
the wear pad and the edge of the bottom plate of the jib
rotator.
5. Only shim until the thinnest shim can not fit. Do not
over shim. This will cause jib pivot and jib assembly mis-
alignment.
6. When shimmed properly, the jib pivot should line up
straight with the jib assembly as shown below.
