Driving
With Boom Lowered
1. Turn chassis key switch to platform, and turn on
(turn clockwise) the chassis emergency stop switch.
2. Mount the platform, close and latch the gate.
3. Attach approved fall restraint to designated
platform anchorage point. Attach only one fall
restraint to each point.
4. Check that the area around and above the work
platform is clear of obstructions, holes, drop-offs,
persons in the route of travel, and the surface is
capable of supporting wheel loads.
5. Depress the foot switch and move the drive
control handle forward to travel forward and
reverse to travel in the reverse direction.
Note: When the boom is rotated to the front of
the chassis (steering wheels aft) directions of
travel and steering will be reversed. Observe the
color coded arrows on the control panel near the
drive control handle, and on the chassis. They
will indicate the direction of travel when the drive
control handle is moved.
With Boom Elevated
Travel with boom elevated is restricted to firm
level surfaces only.
When driving elevated, the machine will travel at
creep speed (1 foot [.3 m] per second).
Steering
1. While depressing the foot switch, push the steer-
ing switch (located on top of the control handle) to
the left to turn left, and right to turn right.
Note: Steering is not self centering. Wheels
must be returned to the straight ahead position
by operating the steering switch.
POSITIONING THE PLATFORM
Positioning the platform as close as possible to the
work area requires some planning. First, you must
survey the work site to find a suitable place to park
the machine. This must be a firm level area as close
as possible to the work area. Take into consider-
ation all obstructions on the ground and overhead
and avoid them.
Once you have moved the machine to a firm level
surface as near as possible to the work area, follow
the instructions on the next page to position the
platform.
Always, before operating any function, check the
area around and overhead for any obstructions or
electrical conductors.
Multifunction Controls
The UpRight AB-46 employs the use of multifunction
controls. This means that riser or boom extension
will function at full speed while simultaneously
operating upper boom, jib, turret, or rotating the
platform.
The turret may be rotated while driving if necessary
to make turns in tight areas. All other boom func-
tions will not operate while driving.
Lower Control Operation
All boom functions will operate at fixed speed.
1. Turn chassis keyswitch to chassis controls.
2. Operate boom control switches to position the
platform.
