The document provides instructions for fitting counter-jib ballast on a crane. It discusses partially ballasting before the jib is fitted, final ballasting during work, and using a mobile crane to place concrete ballast blocks in the counter-jib. The ballast weight and position is specified for different heights of the counter-jib. Supports are used to secure the ballast blocks and are inserted through the blocks before lowering them into position in the counter-jib.

1. 1. GENERAL NOTES Ballasting the counter−jib is carried out with X concrete blocks CG − CP and CM. Ballasting starts always on the side opposite to the counter−jib nose (the part near by the crane tower) (Detail A − Figure 1). The blocks are held by supports (1) resting on an inclined plane (2) (Detail B − Figure 1), what ensures interlocking of the blocks. The composition and the weight of the ballast during work are given in paragraph 54A Ballast weight and composition before fitting the jib (partial ballasting) as well as the position of the ballast blocks are given in the tables below. The composition and the position of the ballast during work (final ballasting) are given in the tables below.

1. 4. 1. PREPARATION Preparing ballasting consists in checking the passage of the supports through the blocks.
1. 4. 2. PLACING THE BLOCKS
- Sling the first block, then raise it and introduce it into the counter−jib (nearest position to the crane tower) (Detail A, B − Figure 1). - On the catwalk side introduce the support (1) into the block (COMPULSORY) (Detail C − Figure 1). - Then continue lowering the block in order to rest the support (1) onto the inclined planes (2) by making sure that the plate (3) is placed between the block and the inclined plane (2) (Detail D, E − Figure 1). - Repeat this operation as many times as there are blocks.
