With Boom Elevated

Travel with boom elevated is restricted to firm level

surfaces only.
When driving elevated, the machine will travel at creep

speed (0.30 m [1 foot] per second).

Steering

1. While engaging the hand interlock, push the steering

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 consideration all obstructions on the

ground and overhead and avoid them.
Always, before operating any function, check the area

around and overhead for any obstructions or electrical

conductors.

Multifunction Controls

The UpRight SB-60 employs the use of multifunction

controls. This means that any two functions can operate

at full speed simultaneously.
The turret may be rotated while driving if necessary to

make turns in tight areas. All other boom functions will not

operate while driving.

Lower Control Operation

Do not operate from lower controls if someone is in
platform, except in emergency situations.
All boom functions will operate at fixed speed.
1. Turn chassis keyswitch to chassis controls.
2. With engine running, operate boom control switches

to position the platform.

Leveling the Platform

DO NOT operate the machine if the platform does
not maintain level when elevated.

Note: Platform leveling can be performed only with

the boom stowed and should be done only to

calibrate the automatic leveling system.

While depressing the foot switch, move the platform

level control switch forward to swing the platform

upward, rearward to swing the platform downward.

Release the switch to stop leveling. Leveling can be

performed only when boom is stowed and retracted.

Rotating the Turret

While depressing the foot switch, move the boom

rotation joystick to the right to rotate right, left to rotate

left. Release the switch to stop rotation. The turret

rotation will function at a speed proportional to the

stroke of the joystick. Make sure the area around the

boom is clear of all obstructions before rotating the

turret.

Elevating the Boom

While depressing the foot switch, move the joystick

forward to elevate the boom, rearward to lower the boom.

Release the control lever to stop elevating / lowering. The

boom elevate will function at a speed proportional to the

stroke of the joystick.

Extending the Boom

While depressing the foot switch, move the boom

extension control joystick rearward to extend the

boom, forward to retract the boom. Release the

control lever to stop extending / retracting. The boom

extension will function at a speed, proportional to the

stroke of the joystick.
