Fork Pockets and both the Steel Plates.
4. Remove the Bottom Fastener (A) from the Steel Plate (B). Repeat Step 3 with the Bottom Fastener to finish securing
the Fork Pockets (C) to the Upright Assembly.
5. Torque the 5/8 in. hardware of the Upright Assembly to 75 ft-lb (102 N-m).
6. Remove the forklift blade from the base of the Upright Assembly (B). Reinstall the Roller Guard (A) at the base of the
Upright Assembly. Verify that the Fork Pockets (C) are securely installed. The Tri-Screws located on the bottom of the
Fork Pockets should be facing downward.
7. To transport, insert the Forklift Blades (A) through the Fork Pockets, centering the blades on each Tri-Screw (B). Raise
the Forklift Blades to the top of the Fork Pocket tubes.

4.0 USE
4.1 BEFORE EACH USE: Verify that your work area and Fall Protection system meet all criteria defined in these instructions.
Verify that a formal Rescue Plan is in place. Inspect the system per the 'User' inspection points defined in the "Inspection
and Maintenance Log" (Table 2). If inspection reveals an unsafe or defective condition, or if there is any doubt about its
condition for safe use, remove the system from service immediately. Clearly tag the system "DO NOT USE". See Section 5
for more information.
4.2 SAFE WORKING AREA: The Safe Working Area of the Jib Boom does not extend beyond the length of the Jib Boom
itself. See Figure 11.3 for reference. When using the M100 Jib System, the user should remain within the indicated Safe
Working Area (A). 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 M100 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.

5.1 INSPECTION FREQUENCY: The product shall be inspected before each use by the user and, additionally, by a
Competent Person other than the user at intervals of no longer than one year. A higher frequency of equipment use
and harsher conditions may require increasing the frequency of Competent Person inspections. The frequency of these
inspections should be determined by the Competent Person per the specific conditions of the worksite.
5.2 INSPECTION PROCEDURES: Inspect this product per the procedures listed in the "Inspection and Maintenance Log".
Documentation of each inspection should be maintained by the owner of this equipment. An inspection and maintenance
log should be placed near the product or be otherwise easily accessible to users. It is recommended that the product is
marked with the date of next or last inspection.

destroy the system or contact 3M or a 3M-authorized service center about possible repair.
5.4 PRODUCT LIFE: The functional life of the Jib Boom is determined by work conditions and maintenance. As long as the
product passes inspection criteria, it may remain in service.

equipment tags should not be removed until maintenance is performed.
6.1 CLEANING: Periodically clean the metal components of the Jib Boom with a soft brush, warm water, and a mild soap
solution. Ensure parts are thoroughly rinsed with clean water.
