Driving
With Boom Lowered
1. Turn chassis key switch to platform, and pull out the
chassis emergency stop switch.
2. Mount the platform and close sliding rail.
3. Attach approved fall restraint to designated platform
anchorage point. Attach only one fall restraint to each
point.
4. Start engine.
5. Check that the area around and above the work plat-
form is clear of obstructions, holes, drop-offs, persons
in the route of travel, and the surface is capable of sup-
porting wheel loads.
6. Engage the interlock switch and move the drive control
handle forward to travel forward and rearward to travel
in the reverse direction.
Note: When the boom is rotated to the front
of the chassis (steering wheels aft) direc-
tions of travel and steering will be reversed.
Observe the color coded arrows on the con-
trol panel near the drive control handle, and
on the chassis. They will indicate the direc-
tion of travel when the drive control handle
is moved.
Extending and
Retracting Axles
From the Platform Controls
Important: Axles must be fully extended to
allow boom extension or boom to be raised
above 45°. Machine must be driven forward
or reverse while extending axles. Ensure all
four wheels can be clearly seen and per-
sons and obstacles are clear of the
machine.
1. Drive the machine forward or reverse.
2. Move and hold the axle extend/retract switch to extend.
3. The axles will extend.
4. When 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.
5. Re-synchronize the steering geometry by steering full
left or full right and holding for a few seconds.
6. All boom functions are now available.
With Boom Elevated
Travel with boom elevated is restricted to
firm level surfaces only. (Plus3 machines
3°)
When driving elevated, the machine will travel at
creep speed (1 foot [.30 m] per second).
Steering
1. While engaging the 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 posi-
tion by operating the steering switch.

OSITIONING THE
LATFORM
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.

NEVER exit the platform while the boom is
elevated. Keep both feet firmly on platform floor
at all times. Do not use planks, ladders, or any
other device on the platform for achieving
additional height or reach.
Multifunction Controls
The UpRight SB-80 employs the use of multifunction
controls. This means that 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 func-
tions will not operate while driving.
