Question 3575 Deck General
70% to passOn a MODU crane, the boom indicator tells the operator what the boom angle is compared to the _______________.
A
minimum radius angle
B
horizontal position
C
boom stop angle
D
vertical position
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) horizontal position. The boom indicator on a MODU (Mobile Offshore Drilling Unit) crane displays the angle of the boom in relation to the horizontal position. This allows the crane operator to determine the current boom angle and adjust the crane's movements accordingly to ensure safe and efficient operation. The other answer choices are incorrect because: A) the minimum radius angle is not what the boom indicator displays, C) the boom stop angle is the maximum angle the boom can reach, not what the indicator shows, and D) the vertical position is not the reference point for the boom indicator.
