Controls and Indicators Operation Before operating work platform insure that: Pre-operation and safety inspection has been completed, and any discrepancies have been corrected. The operator has been thoroughly trained on the operation of the machine. The work area is clear of all obstructions, holes, drop-offs, or persons in the route of travel.
4. Start engine. Multifunction Controls 5. Check that the area around and above the work The UpRight AB-46 employs the use of platform is clear of obstructions, holes, drop- multifunction controls. This means that riser or offs, persons in the route of travel, and the boom extension will function at full speed while surface is capable of supporting wheel loads.
