2 Tilt Angle Setting (36-42m)

The wings of the 36m & 42m booms comprise
two sections and a breakaway end. The first &
second wing sections are adjusted upward at
the inner pivot point.
The first section tilt angle, at pivot A, is
adjusted automatically by the boom control
system and does not need to be manually
adjusted.
A tilt sensor is present on the tilt cylinder pivot
is used by the system to maintain the tilt level.
The second stage tilt angle is adjusted using
the clevis joint threads at pivot B.
The tilt angle of each 1st section is automatically controlled
by a tilt sensor.

3 Wind the top rose end closer to the first
section to raise the second section.
Wind the top adjuster away from the first
section to lower the second section.
Once the correct alignment is acheived,
the second stage height must be checked
and adjusted in the Bi-fold position.
4 Fold the boom into the Bi-fold position.
The second stage should couple into
the boom support saddle with minimal
clearance to the base plate.

Adjust 30mm upward of 1st section
If the second boom section is too low,
both the upper rose end & the lower rose
end must be lengthened by an equal
amount.
If the second boom section is too high,
both the upper rose end & the lower
rose end must be shortened by an equal
amount.
This will correct the height of the second
stage boom in the Bi-fold position without
effecting the working position.
5 Fold the boom into the working position to
confirm correct alignment is still achieved.
6 On completion, re-tighten the locknuts on
the upper and lower clevis joint threads.
To Adjust the Second Section of the LH
Wing:
Repeat the above procedure for the left wing.
It is important that both wings are adjusted the same. If
one wing is adjusted higher or lower than the other, the
boom may not sit level.
