BOOM INSTALLATION

1.Attach the gooseneck pin which extends from the front of the boom to the gooseneck yoke on the mast. See Figure 24.

2.Tie the line which was packed with the mast rotation control yoke to the forward-most jam cleat on the boom. See step 11 of mast assembly. Run the line through the

block on the end of the mast rotation control yoke and then feed it through the jam cleat. Tie a knot

in the end of the line so that it will not slip back through the jam cleat.

See Figure 35.

Once again, be sure to note that this is the older style of mast rotator. With the newer style, the line does not run through a pulley, but through a ring at the end of the control yoke. Run the line through the ring and into the jam cleat.

JIB BLOCK INSTALLATION

1.The large jib blocks are packed in the rig kits. Remove the jib track end stop on the jib track and slide the car on the bottom of the block into the track. See Figure 25. Note that the slide adjustment knob is aft of the block assembly.
