SB80 Work Platform - European 2-7
5. Check that the area around and above the work
platform is clear of obstructions, holes, drop-offs,
persons in the route of travel, and the surface is
capable of supporting wheel loads.
6. Engage the interlock switch and move the drive
control handle forward to travel forward and rear-
ward to travel in the reverse direction.
NOTE: When the boom is rotated to the front of
the chassis (steering wheels aft) directions of
travel and steering will be reversed. Observe
the color coded arrows on the control panel
near the drive control handle, and on the chas-
sis. They will indicate the direction of travel
when the drive control handle is moved.
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 persons 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 steer-
ing full left or full right and holding for a few sec-
onds.
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 position
by operating the steering switch.
Positioning the Platform
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.
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.
*NOTE: European model only. On Domestic mod-
els, all functions are available while driving.

WARNING
!
!
NEVER
exit the platform while the boom is ele-
vated. Keep both feet firmly on platform floor at
all times. Do not use planks, ladders, or any
other device on the platform for achieving addi-
tional height or reach.
