USING THE BOOM
This boom is a front-end attachment according to OSHA rule 29 CFR 1910.178. Do not use the boom until
the manufacturer of your forklift approves its use in writing and provides adjusted tags for your forklift.
Improper use of this product might result in serious personal injuries.
DO NOT use this boom with rough terrain lift trucks or telehandlers (boom trucks). ONLY use it with high lift
fork trucks utilizing a vertical mast and carriage.
DO NOT mount the hopper on stackers or manually propelled lift trucks.
DO NOT operate the truck carrying this hopper on unimproved surfaces. Only operate on concrete or
asphalt surfaces.
DO NOT attempt to lift loads weighing more than the capacity of the boom or your forklift, whichever is
smaller. Confirm that the load weighs less than the maximum rated load of your boom at the intended
attachment point. See CENTERS OF GRAVITY AND LOAD RATINGS on p. 5 see also LABELING DIAGRAM on
p. 11. Confirm that your fork lift is rated to lift the combined weight of the boom, rigging, and the load.
Contact the manufacturer of your fork lift BEFORE using the boom and request:
1. Written approval to use the boom with your lift truck; AND
2. Markings (labels) for the lift truck that: a) Identify your LM-boom; AND b) Provide the
approximate net weight of the forklift truck and boom at the maximum fork elevation with a
laterally-centered load. See 29 CFR 1910.178(a)(5).
DO NOT connect a load to only 1 hook, which will cause the load to rotate during lifting and transport
operations. Loads must be connected to both hooks.
1. Drive the forklift forward and insert the tines into the fork pockets. Carefully drive as far forward as
possible until the forks gently contact the bumpers. Lower the forks completely. The drawings below
demonstrate this step.
2. Securely connect the unit to the carriage of the forklift with the safety chain. Wrap the safety chain
around the fork carriage and fasten the snap hook to the chain/strap. There should be no slack in the
chain/strap. The sole purpose of the safety chain is to prevent the boom from sliding off of the forks. It is
NOT intended or designed to bear the full load rating.
3. [LM-1T-8-24-HBE-TP only] Hydraulic hoses are labeled “EXTEND” and “RETRACT”. Attach the hoses to
hydraulic remote ports on your forklift. The controls for the remote extend and retract the cylinder.
4. Adjust boom length. The inner boom is driven by a hydraulic cylinder. The hydraulic circuit that controls
the cylinder is either provided by your fork truck or by a DC (battery) power unit.
a. LM-1T-8-24-HBE-TP utilizes the hydraulic system of your fork truck. Two (2) hoses, labeled “EXTEND” or
“RETRACT”, extend through the back end of the boom. Connect each hose to the appropriate
remote hydraulic port. Use the controls for the remote to extend or retract the inner boom.
b. LM-1T-8-24-HBE-DC includes a power unit housed between the fork tubes and beneath the outer
boom. Use the handheld controller to extend or retract the boom as desired. A handheld controller
connects to the power unit via a pigtail cord. The controller has 2 buttons: and . The button
causes the cylinder to extend inside the boom. The button retracts the cylinder.
i. Extending the boom: Press the button to activate the electric motor. The motor turns the pump.
As the pump rotates, oil is drawn from the reservoir. Oil passes through the suction filter & enters
the pump. The pump pushes oil through an energized directional valve (RT); then through
counterbalance valve 1CB and into the blind end of the cylinder. As oil fills the cylinder, the
cylinder extends while oil is pressed out of the rod end of the cylinder, through counterbalance
