Installing Adjusting Line

Separate the 104' (31.69 m)

length of line into 2 coils.

Do not cut! Lay a coil on

each side of the aft half of

the boom so the side with-

out the splice is below the

cheek block. String each

coil of adjusting line through

lower blocks so line is

cradled under the boom.
