Upright AB46RT Operator's Manual page 6

Once you have moved the machine to a firm level
surface as near as possible to the work area, follow the
instructions on page five to position the platform as
close to the work area as possible.
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 planted on the
platform floor at all times.
Multifunction Controls
The UpRight AB-46 RT 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 when boom is
lowered if necessary to make turns in tight areas. No
other boom functions will operate while driving.
Lower Control Operation
All boom functions will operate at fixed speed. Those
which are adjustable will operate at the speed set on the
platform control.
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 cali-
brate the automatic leveling system.
1. Set the function speed control dial to the desired
setting. Rotate the dial clockwise to increase speed,
counterclockwise to decrease. If you are not sure
what speed to use, start out slow; the speed can be
varied while operating the function.
2. While depressing the foot switch, push the platform
level control switch forward to swing the platform
upward, rearward to swing the platform downward.
Release the switch to stop leveling.
Rotating the Turret
1. Set the function speed control dial to the desired
setting. Rotate the dial clockwise to increase speed,
counterclockwise to decrease. If you are not sure
what speed to use, start out slow; the speed can be
varied while operating the function.
2. While depressing the foot switch, turn the turret
rotation control switch counterclockwise to rotate left,
clockwise to rotate right. Release the switch to stop
rotation. Observe the area around the boom when
rotating the turret to avoid any obstructions.
Elevating the Riser
1. While depressing the foot switch, push the riser
control lever forward to elevate the riser, rearward to
lower the riser. Release the control lever to stop
elevating / lowering. The riser will function at a
constant speed, function speed control setting is not
necessary.
Elevating the Upper
Boom
1. Set the function speed control dial to the desired
setting. Rotate the dial clockwise to increase speed,
counterclockwise to decrease. If you are not sure
what speed to use, start out slow; the speed can be
varied while operating the function.
2. While depressing the foot switch, push the upper
boom control lever forward to elevate the upper
boom, rearward to lower the upper boom. Release
the control lever to stop elevating / lowering.
