Boom Operation - Greenlee G10 Tugger Manuel D'instructions

Boom Operation

Raising and Lowering
The boom can be raised and lowered using the crank
in front of the puller. Turn the crank counterclockwise to
raise the boom, and clockwise to lower it. When starting
from the Teepee position, unlock the elbow before
lowering to prevent the boom from crashing against the
carriage.

Pivoting the Elbow and Nose Units
The elbow and nose units are physically identical and
can be used interchangeably. For the sake of clarity, in
this manual:
• "Nose" refers to the unit that attaches to the conduit
via couplers.
• "Elbow" refers to the unit that connects the two boom
tubes.
The elbow/nose units pivot and lock at various degrees
of rotation. They are locked in place by a detent pin set
located between the sheave and the end of the boom
tube receptacle. To pivot, squeeze the grips on the
detent pins fully inward.
Make sure the detent pins on both sides are fully
retracted before trying to pivot. Release the grips when
the desired pivot angle is reached, and pivot slightly
more to allow both detents to engage in the closest
holes.
When the detent pins are squeezed to the fully inward
position, they can be locked in place by twisting them
counterclockwise.
Never pull cable with the detent pins locked inward;
both the elbow and nose must be locked from pivoting
before pulling.
