1. Depress the foot switch.
2. Push the steering rocker switch to the left to turn left.
3. Push the steering rocker switch to the right to turn right.
NOTE: Steering is not self-centering. Wheels must be returned to the straight ahead position by operating the steering
switch.
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. Refer to Figure 6 on page 8.

Positioning the platform as close as possible to the work area requires some planning. First, you must sur-
vey 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 consideration 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 following pages to position the platform as close to the work area as possible.
Always, before operating any function, check the area around and overhead for any obstructions or electri-
cal conductors.

NEVER exit the platform while the boom is elevated. Keep both feet on the platform floor at all times.

The UpRight AB62 employs the use of multifunction controls. This means that the riser or boom extension
will function at full speed while simultaneously operating the upper boom, jib, turret, or rotating the plat-
form.
W A R N I N G ! !
If the tilt alarm sounds, lower and retract the boom, then drive the machine to a firm, level surface
before elevating.

All boom functions will operate at the speed selected by the upper speed control functions.
NOTE: The Platform Ignition switch must be turned ON in order to operate the lower controls.
1. Turn ON the platform ignition switch.
2. Turn the chassis key switch to the left (chassis).
3. With the engine running, operate the boom control switches to position the platform.
• If slower operation is desired, move the Function Speed (HI/LOW) switch to the low position (see
Figure 3 on page 4).
4. The Hi/Low switch will select between maximum speed and a lower fixed Function Speed, depending on
the position of the platform Function Speed control.
