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. Drive is disabled above 26 ft (8m).
With Boom Elevated
Travel with boom elevated is restricted to firm level
surfaces only.
When driving elevated, the machine will travel at creep
speed (½ foot [.15 m] per second).
Steering
1. While depressing the foot switch, 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.
Once you have moved the machine to a firm level
surface as near as possible to the work area, follow the
instructions on page 6 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 functions 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.
