cage. The foot switch must be depressed to operate
any function from the platform. A complete explana-
tion of control functions can be found in Section 2.
Elevating Assembly
The platform is raised and lowered by the elevating
assembly, an articulated boom powered by two sin-
gle-stage lift cylinders. The hydraulic pump, driven by
the engine, powers the cylinders. Solenoid operated
valves control raising and lowering.
Chassis
The chassis is a structural frame that supports all the
components of the AB62 Work Platform.
1.3 PURPOSE OFEQUIPMENT
The objective of the work platform is to provide a
quickly deployable, self-propelled, variable height
work platform to elevate personnel and materials to
overhead work areas and be driven over normal ter-
rains.
1.4 SPECIAL LIMITATIONS
Travel with the platform raised is limited to a creep
speed range.
Elevating of the work platform is limited to firm, level
surfaces only. Any degree of slope greater than 5°
will sound a warning alarm.

Positioning the Platform
Positioning the platform as close as possible to the
work area requires some planning. First, you must
surveytheworksitetofindasuitableplacetopark
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.
Onceyouhavemovedthemachinetoafirm,level
surface as near as possible to the work area, follow
instructions on pages 2-5 and 2-6 to position the plat-
form 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.
Multifunction Controls
The UpRight AB62 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 the
boom is lowered, if necessary to make turns in tight
areas.

mum speed, depending on the position of the
platform Boom Speed control, and a lower fixed
boom speed.
NOTE: Platform leveling should be done only to
calibrate 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 plat-
form level control switch forward to swing the plat-
form upward, rearward to swing the platform
downward. Release the switch to stop leveling.
