8. Drive/Steer
Provides for driving either forward or backward. Push for-
ward to drive forward, pull back to drive in reverse.
Steering is controlled by a thumb-activated rocker switch
on top of the joystick.
NOTE: Both drive and steer functions work in the opposite direction when the boom is posi-
tioned over front of the chassis.
9. Main Telescope Control
Allows extension and retraction of the main boom when
positioned to in or out.
10. Articulating Jib Lift (460SJ Only)
Push level, toggle switch forward to lift up, pull back to lift
down.
11. Platform Rotate
Allows the operator to rotate the basket to the left or right
when positioned to the desired direction.
DO NOT OPERATE MACHINE IF DRIVE SPEED/TORQUE SELECT OR FUNCTION SPEED
SWITCHES OPERATE WHEN BOOM IS ABOVE HORIZONTAL.
12. Function Speed
Provides variable speed control of all boom functions
grouped to the right of the knob. For smoothest operation of
these functions, use two hands: rotate the knob counter-
clockwise to the slowest position, select the function switch,
and while holding the switch on, rotate the knob to the
desired speed. To achieve a smooth stop, rotate the knob
ccw to a slow speed prior to letting go of the function switch.
Rotating the knob fully counterclockwise until a click is heard
puts all controls, including drive, main lift, and swing into
creep speed. This slow speed is used for fine positioning of
the platform when close to obstacles. A snail symbol is used
to indicate “creep” speed and is shown at the Function Speed
knob as well as near the proportional controllers to act as a
reminder.
