Recommended boom and luffing jib raising and lowering procedure:
14000 SERIES 1 must be equipped with 127,000 lb (57 610 kg) crane counterweight and 0 lb (0 kg) carbody
counterweight. 14000 SERIES 2 must be equipped with 168,000 lb (76 200 kg) crane counterweight and
53,000 lb (24 040 kg) carbody counterweight. 14000 SERIES 3 must be equipped with 178,000 lb (80 740 kg)
crane counterweight and 70,500 lb (31 980 kg) carbody counterweight. Refer to luffing jib rigging assembly
No. A18387 for boom and luffing jib make-up of inserts, pendants, struts, strut raising and lowering procedure,
jib stop setup and operation and miscellaneous parts, etc. Refer to Operator’s Manual for setup and installation.
Three methods may be used to raise and lower boom and luffing jib combinations, depending on length:
A. Layout In-Line Method
Boom and luffing jib are assembled in layout, end-to-end, position. Slowly raise boom until luffing jib stop strut
is just clear of ground. Attach luffing jib stop pendants and unpin luffing jib stop inner strut from retracted
position. Slowly raise boom until luffing jib stop strut is fully extended and pins engaged (approximately 168
degree boom-to-luffing jib angle). Tighten luffing jib suspension with luffing jib hoist. Boom and luffing jib can
then be raised simultaneously using only the boom hoist. Reverse this procedure when lowering boom and
luffing jib.
Boom and luffing jib combinations in following tables may be raised and lowered using layout in-line method.

B. Layout Jack-Knife Method:
(Longer boom and luffing jib combinations must be raised and lowered using this method)
Caution: Anytime luffing jib point rollers are in contact with ground during raising or lowering procedure,
disengage swing lock and release swing brake.
Raising:
Boom and luffing jib are assembled in layout, end-to-end, position. Slowly raise boom until luffing jib stop strut
is just clear of ground. Attach luffing jib stop pendants and unpin luffing jib stop inner strut from retracted
position. Slowly raise boom until luffing jib stop strut is fully extended and pins engaged (approximately 168
degree boom-to-luffing jib angle). Boom is then raised while luffing jib point wheels are allowed to roll on
ground. Tension should be applied to luffing jib hoist to keep luffing jib strut off luffing jib during boom raising.
Boom up until boom-to-luffing jib angle reaches value specified in table below or vertical, whichever occurs first.
Tighten luffing jib suspension with luffing jib hoist. Boom and luffing jib are then raised together using boom
hoist until boom reaches desired boom operating angle. Luffing jib radius must be within capacity chart before
swinging over side of machine when raising over end of blocked crawlers.
Lowering:
Position boom at 85 degrees prior to lowering luffing jib. Lower luffing jib until boom-to-luffing jib angle reaches
value specified in table below. Lower boom until luffing jib point wheels contact ground. If luffing jib is hanging
vertical, raise luffing jib a few degrees forward of vertical. Continue to lower boom while luffing jib wheels roll
along ground. Keep enough tension on luffing jib hoist to keep luffing jib strut off luffing jib. Stop lowering boom
when luffing jib stop pendants start to go into tension (approximately 168 degree boom-to-luffing jib angle).
Disengage luffing jib stop strut pins and lower boom to retract luffing jib stop inner strut. Pin strut in retracted
position.

C. Fold Under Jack-Knife Method:
Raising:
Boom and luffing jib are assembled in fold under position. Slowly raise boom; luffing jib point wheels will roll along
ground. When luffing jib hinge pin is 30 Ft. (9.1m) off ground, connect luffing jib pendants. Move luffing jib top wire rope
guide to working position. Tighten luffing jib suspension with luffing jib hoist. Slowly raise boom until luffing jib is vertical
and luffing jib point wheels are clear of ground. Tighten luffing jib suspension with luffing jib hoist. Boom and luffing jib
are then raised together using boom hoist until boom reaches desired boom operating range. Luffing jib radius must be
within capacity chart before swinging over side of machine, when raising over end of blocked crawlers.
Lowering:
Position boom at 75 degrees prior to lowering luffing jib. Slowly lower luffing jib to vertical. Lower boom until luffing jib
point wheels are just clear of ground. Slowly boom down and assist luffing jib point wheels in fold under direction. Boom
down until luffing jib hinge pin is 30 Ft. (9.1m) off ground. Disconnect luffing jib pendants. Move luffing jib top wire rope
guide to stowed position. Raise luffing jib strut with luffing jib hoist until luffing jib strut is in line with luffing jib. Lower
boom and luffing jib to ground.
Boom and luffing jib combinations in following tables may be raised and lowered using fold under jack-knife method.
