Section 2.5 for more information.
1.
Turn the handle of the Wheel Jack clockwise until it comes into contact with the ground and raises the Base off the
ground. Do not raise the Base more than 2.0 in. (51 mm) off the ground.

Use the Leveling Indicators (A) located on the Counterweight Base to verify whether the Base is level. The Base may
be transported after the Base has been determined to be level. See Figure 8 for reference.
;
Do not transport the system on uneven ground. A sloped or uneven surface could cause a loss of control.

SAFE WORKING AREA: The user must stay within the Safe Working Area (A) of the Jib Boom and must not pass
the end of the rail. The user must remain as directly below the Connection Eye as possible. See Figure 9 for reference.
Leaving the Safe Working Area to an Outside Location (B) is dangerous and could result in serious injury or death.
When working on either side of the M200 Jib System, keep the anchor point as close overhead as possible. If a rotation
stop is in place on the jib mount, never work past that rotation stop. See the instruction manual for the M200 Jib Boom
(5908372) for more information.
