MCL - Operation - Detach Jib from Attachment Head

Notes
Follow the procedure below to correctly detach the jib from the attachment head
Procedure Steps:
1. Lower the jib until the hook is just about to touch the ground.
2. Remove the safety bar locking the jib to the attachment head.


3. Attach a line to the hook and pull the hook out in front of the jib while lowering the boom.
4. Slowly reverse or retract the boom, at the same time as lowering the boom.
5. This will ensure the hook and load sensor lay out in front of the jib 


6. Tilt the attachment head forward to finish detaching the jib from the attachment head.


Warning
The MCL load sensor can be damaged if the jib is detached incorrectly from the attachment head.
If the MCL load sensor is damaged when detaching the jib, the MCL load sensor may break during subsequent lifts (causing possible injury or death to personnel under the load). 


Warning
The load sensor can be damaged if it is pinned between the ground and the jib while the jib is being detached from the attachment head.
