IMPORTANT: Axles must be fully extended to
allow boom extension or boom raised above 45 0 .
Machine must be driven forward or reverse while
extending the axles. Ensure all four wheels can be
clearly seen and persons and obstacles are clear
of the machine.
1. Move and hold axle extend/retract switch to
extend or retract.
2. Drive the machine forward or reverse. The axles
will extend or retract.
3. When the axles are fully extended, the axles
extended light (green light on platform controller)
will illuminate.
NOTE: Verify Yellow bars are visible on all four
axles at full extension.
4. Re-synchronize the steering geometry by steering
full left or full right and holding for a few seconds.
5. All boom functions are now available.
With Boom Elevated
Travel with boom elevated is restricted to firm
level surfaces only.
When driving elevated, the machine will travel at
creep speed (0,3 m [1 foot] per second).
Steering
1. While engaging the hand interlock, push the
steering switch (located on top of the control
handle) to turn left or 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.
Before operating any function, check the area around
and overhead for any obstructions or electrical
conductors.
Multifunction Controls
The UpRight SB-80 employs the use of multifunction
controls. This means that any three functions can
operate at full speed simultaneously.
The turret may be rotated while driving if necessary to
make turns in tight areas.
Lower Control Operation
Do not operate machine from lower controls if
someone is in the platform.
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.
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.
