Special Limitations
AB60JRT5
Special Limitations
Travel with the platform raised is limited to creep speed
range. Elevating the platform is limited to firm, level
surfaces only.
ADanger
The elevating function shall ONLY be used when the
work platform is level and on a firm surface.
The work platform is NOT intended to be driven over
uneven, rough, or soft terrain.
Platform Capacity
Twopeopleand toolsmayoccupytheplatform.The maxi-
mum platform capacity for the aerial platform is stated in
the “Specifications” on page 20.
ADanger
DO NOT exceed the maximum platform capacity or
the platform occupancy limits for this machine.
Manual Force
Manual force is the force applied by the occupants to
objects such as walls or other structures outside the
work platform.
The maximum allowable manual force is limited to 200N
(45 lbs) of force per occupant, with a maximum of 400 N
(90 lbs) for two occupants.
ADanger
DO NOT exceed the maximum amount of manual
force for this machine.
Platform Overload Sensing System
All functions are stopped from the upper and lower con-
trols, when the platform overload limit is exceeded. The
horn will sound intermittently and the platform overload
light will blink until the excess load is removed from the
platform. At that time, the machine functions are again
operational.
If the platform becomes significantly overloaded, or if an
upwardforceontheplatformexceedsapproximately2225
N(500lbs),the systemwillenterintoerrormode,stopping
all functions from the upper and lower controls. The horn
will then sound constantly and the overload light will stay
illuminated at the upper and lower controls.
The system will remain in error mode until the excess
load is removed from the platform and the emergency
stop button or start switch is cycled off and back on,
resetting the system.At that time, the machine functions
are operational.
ACaution
The emergency power system is for emergency low-
ering and stowing only. The length of time the pump
can be operated depends on the capacity of the bat-
tery. Do not use this system for normal operation.
If the platform overload sensing system is tripped while
operating the machine or if the system is in error mode
and can not be reset, the emergency power system may
still be used for emergency machine operation.
ADanger
The aerial platform can tip over if it becomes unstable.
Death or serious injury will result from a tip-over ac-
cident. Do not exceed the capacity values indicated
on the platform rating placard.
The overload sensing system is not active when the
machine is being driven with the booms in the stowed
position. This allows the machine to be driven without
the system sensing an overload due to rough ground
conditions.
To eliminate repeated tripping of the system during ma-
chine operation, there is a five second delay in machine
functions following:
starting the engine.
placing the drive/boom selector switch in the boom
position when the main boom is below horizontal and
fully retracted.
removing excess load from the platform.
Beaufort Scale
Never operate the machine when wind speeds exceed
12.5 m/s (28mph) [Beaufort scale 6]. Refer to Figure 1.

ADanger
The aerial platform is not electrically insulated. Death
or serious injury will result from contact with, or in-
adequate clearance from, an energized conductor.
Do not go closer than the minimum safe approach
distance as defined by national safety regulations.
Pinch points may exist between moving components.
Death or serious injury will result from becoming
trapped between components, buildings, structures
or other obstacles. Make sure there is sufficient clear-
ance around the machine before moving the chassis,
booms, or platform. Allow sufficient room and time
to stop movement to avoid contact with structures
or other hazards.
The aerial platform can tip over if it becomes unstable.
Death or serious injury will result from a tip-over ac-
cident. Operate the aerial platform on a firm, flat, level
surface. Avoid travel speeds and/or rough terrain that
could cause sudden changes in platform position. Do
not drive or position the aerial platform for elevated
use near any drop-off, hole, slope, soft or uneven
ground, or other tip-over hazard.

thattheaerial platformisproperlyset upfortheparticular
conditions encountered.
Cold Weather Start-Up
If the ambient temperature is 0°C (32°F) or below, the
engine and hydraulic system oil may need to be warmed
beforeoperation.Do notoperatethe engineatmorethan
a fast idle until the engine and hydraulic oil has had a
chance to warm. The engine may be equipped with an
optional cold weather start kit.
Cold,thickhydraulicoildoesnotflowwellandmaycause

age output of theAC generator. Cold oil may also cause
cavitationandpump damage.Thehydraulic systemmay
be equipped with an optional cold weather warm-up kit.
Theengine maybeequippedwithablockheater.Plugthe
heatercordin eighthoursbeforestarting theengine.The
heater will warm the engine block to make cold weather
starting easier.
Unplug the power cord before starting the engine.
Hydraulic System Cold Weather Warm-Up
Some engines may have a hydraulic fluid warm-up sys-
tem that will automatically warm the fluid upon activating
the warm-up switch. The hydraulic fluid may also be
warmed manually ifthe machine is not equippedwith the
optional warm-up system.
ACaution
Not all hydraulic fluid is suitable to use in the hy-
draulic system. Some have poor lubricating charac-
teristics and can increase component wear. Only use
hydraulic fluid as recommended.
Use cold weather hydraulic oil as recommended in the
machineGeneralSpecificationsintemperatures of-12°C
(10°F) or below.
Hydraulic System Warm-up Switch
Thissystemmaybeusedtowarmthehydraulicfluidwhen
the ambient temperature is below 0°C (32°F) and boom
movement is sluggish because of cold fluid.
There may be a toggle switch for the warm-up system
on the lower control panel and/or one on the left side of
the upper control panel.
The engine must be running and the switch used to turn
the system on must be at the same location that the en-
gine was started. For example, if the engine was started
from the lower controls, the warm-up switch at the lower
controls must be used for the system to operate.
To operate the warm-up system:
1. Start the engine and place the engine throttle in the
low position.
2. From the same control station that the engine was
started, place the warm-up switch in the on position.
3. After the hydraulic fluid reaches 10°C (50°F) as indi-
catedonthe thermometer,place thewarm-upswitch
in the off position.
Manually Warming The Hydraulic System
The hydraulic oil may be warmed by bottoming out the
boom extension cylinder. Raise the main boom so it is
horizontalandoperatetheboomretractfunctionwhilethe
machineisstowed. Withthecylinderbottomed outtheoil
flow will produce heat to warm the hydraulic oil.

Driving and Steering
ADanger
The aerial platform can tip over if it becomes unstable.
Death or serious injury will result from a tip-over ac-
cident. Do not drive an elevated aerial platform on
soft, uneven, or sloping surfaces. Do not drive the
machine on grades that exceed 20 percent.

Operation
AB60JRT11
For operation on grades up to 20 percent, it is recom-
mended that the riser and main booms be fully lowered
and the jib elevated just enough to provide adequate
ground clearance. A 20 percent grade is a 61 cm (24″)
vertical rise in 3.05 m (10′) horizontal length.
Avoid driving with the platform over the front (steer) end
of the chassis. In this position the machine is difficult to
control because:
driveandsteer controlmovementsand theirresult-
ing machine movements are reversed.
when driving fast, sudden turns or stops produce
more severe reactions to platform occupants.
more turning space is required to prevent the
platform from colliding with obstacles several feet
beyond the path of the tires.
AWarning
Death or serious injury can result from improperly
driving or steering the aerial platform. Read and un-
derstand the information in this manual and on the
placards and decals on the machine before operating
the aerial platform on the job.
The blue and yellow arrows on the chassis indicate the
direction the chassis will move when the drive or steer
control is moved toward the corresponding color.
When the machine is in the stowed position, with the
booms centered between the rear wheels, the direction
of drive and steer control movement corresponds with
the direction of chassis movement.
When the turntable is rotated from the stowed position,
with the booms to either side of or in front of the chassis,
the direction of control movement does not correspond
with the direction of chassis movement.
To avoid confusion, always drive to the work area or
move between work areas with the turntable and booms
in the stowedposition.After arriving at theworkarea,the
booms may be positioned to the side or the front of the
chassis for final positioning. Always look in the direction
of movement as indicated by the directional arrows on
the chassis.
Use the following procedure to operate the drive and
steer functions.
1. Determine the desired drive range for the specific
driving conditions.
Use high range when traveling across firm, flat,
level surfaces. High range can only be activated
whentheboomsare stowed.Highrangeis for high
speed, low torque operation.
Use low range for driving on loading ramps or
othersteepgradesandwhen safetyconsiderations
•
•

•
•
demand slow deliberate machine movement. Low
range is for low speed, high torque operation.
2. Place the drive/boom selector switch in the drive
position.
3. Step down on the platform foot switch.
4. Push the drive joystick forward to move the chas-
sis forward, the direction of the blue arrow. Pull the
joystick backward to move the chassis backward,
the direction of the yellow arrow. The drive speed is
proportional to the joystick position.
5. To stop drive motion, return the joystick to neutral.
6. Pushthedrivejoysticktotherightto steertothe right,
the direction of the yellow arrow. Push the joystick
to the left to steer to the left, the direction of the blue
arrow.
Note
The steering wheels are not self-centering. Set the steer-
ing wheels straight ahead after completing a turn.
7. After driving to the desired location, release the foot
switch, or push the emergency stop button to apply
the parking brakes.
Drive Speeds
The drive speed is proportional to the joystick position.
The farther the joystick is moved, the faster the travel
speed.
Always slow down and shift the drive system to low
range before traveling over rough terrain or any sloped
surface.
Drivespeedranges areinterlockedthrougha limitswitch
that senses the main boom position. When the boom is
elevated, only the slowest drive speed will work regard-
less of the drive range switch position.
AWarning
The potential for an accident increases when safety
devices do not function properly. Death or serious
injury can result from such accidents. Do not alter,
disable or override any safety device.
Do not use the aerial platform if it drives faster than 1.1
km/h (0.7 mile per hour) [9.7 m (32 feet) in 30 seconds]
when the booms are elevated from the stowed position.
Motion Warning Alarm
The optional motion warning alarm sounds loud intermit-
tent beeps when the drive joystick is in the forward or
reverse position.

Start the engine and place the machine/generator se-
lector switch in the generator position (ref: Figure 4 on
page 6).
The engine will run at high idle while the generator is
operating. The generator will continue to operate as long
as the engine is running and the switch is in the genera-
tor position.
Air Line
The optional air line may be used to conduct air for tool
operation at the platform. The input connector is at the
rear of the chassis and the output connector is at the
platform on the rotator guard. The maximum working
pressure of the line is 1,723 kPa (250 psi).
The air line may be used to conduct fluids such as water
or antifreeze. Contact your local distriburor or UpRight
for compatibility information before using the air line to
conduct other fluids.
ACaution
Fluid in the air line can damage some air tools or
freeze and damage the line. Drain and blow out the
air line after using it to conduct fluids.
Use the following procedure to drain the air line.
1. Close the input connector on the chassis.
2. Open the output connector at the platform.
3. Raise the boom slightly above horizontal.
4. Open the input connector on the chassis.
5. Allow the fluid to drain from the line.
6. Lower the boom and close both connections.
Driving Lights
The optional driving lights are for use in dimly lit areas
and are not intended for driving on public roadways.
There are two headlights at the front of the chassis and
two blinking taillightsat the rear of thechassis. The lights
are operational when the battery disconnect switch and
the master switch are turned on.
Note
Working with the driving or platform work lights on, while
the engine is off, can discharge the batteries enough that
the engine will not start or the emergency power system
will not operate. If the engine cannot be left running while
the lights are on, start and run the engine for at least 15
minutes each hour.
Platform Work Lights
The optional platform work lights are located on the top
rail of the platform. The direction a light points can be
adjusted by using two 1/2″wrenches to loosen the clamp
below the light.
Thelightsare operationalwhentheupper controlsemer-
gencystopbutton ispulledupand theanti-restartmaster
switch is turned on. The engine speed increases to high
idle when the platform work lights are turned on.
Emergency Lowering
AWarning
If the platform should fail to lower, NEVER climb down
the elevating assembly.
Stand clear of the elevating assembly while operating
the Emergency Lowering Valve Knob.
The riser and main booms can be lowered in an emer-
gency using their respective emergency lowering knobs.
The emergency lowering knobs are at the base of the
lift cylinders. The emergency lowering knobs allow the
booms to be lowered only. Only use this method if the
engine will not start and the emergency power system
will not work.
ADanger
Pinch points exist between boom components and
between the booms and turntable. Death or serious
injury will result if the booms or platform lowers onto
personnel. Make sure all personnel stand clear while
lowering the booms.
Riser Boom
Use the following procedure to manually lower the riser
boom.
1. Slowly turn the knob (refer to Figure 5) to open the
bleed down valve. Control the rate of descent by
turning the knob.
AWarning
The potential for an accident increases when safety
devices do not function properly. Death or serious
injury can result from such accidents. Fully close
the emergency lowering knob before operating the
aerial platform.
2. Turn the knob to close the cylinder bleed down
valve.

Preparing for Transportation
Usethefollowingproceduretopreparetheaerialplatform
for transportation.
1. Remove any unnecessary tools, materials, or other
loose objects from the platform.
2. Close and latch all cowling doors.
By Crane
Secure the straps to chassis lifting/lugs only.
Know the approximate location of the center of gravity
before lifting the machine off the ground. Refer to Figure
7.
ADanger
Lifting by Crane is for transport purposes only.
See Specifications for weight of machine and be
certain that the crane is of adequate capacity to lift
the machine.
By Truck
1. Maneuver the machine into transport position and
chock wheels.
2. Place a wood block under the tip end of the jib foot.
Lower the platform so the foot rests on the wood
block.
ACaution
Ratchets, winches, and come-alongs can produce
enough force to damage machine components. Do
not over tighten the straps or chains when securing
the aerial platform to the transport vehicle.
3. Use a nylon strap to securely fasten the platform
against the wood block. Thread the strap over the
toeboard. Refer to Figure 8.
Figure 8 – Platform
4. Secure the machine to the transport vehicle with
chains or straps of adequate load capacity attached
to the chassis lifting/tie down points.
