There are blue and yellow arrows on top of the
chassis. The blue arrows point to the
FORWARD end of the chassis and to the
LEFT side of the chassis. The yellow arrows
point to the REVERSE end of the chassis and
to the RIGHT side of the chassis.
The Drive/Steer controller is color coded to
match the arrows. The color coding is
designed to keep you from becoming
disoriented when you are aloft and the
platform is rotated with respect to the chassis.
If you have an ATB 42/50 that is equipped with
4-wheel steer, (or 4-wheel steer with crab
steer), see Steering the ATB 42/50 in the
“Operation” chapter 8, and also see 4-Wheel
Drive Functions in the “Options” chapter 11,
for more information.

Platform Foot Switch
You must step down on the platform foot switch,
and hold it down, when you use any platform
control that causes the platform to move.
Stepping on the platform foot switch increases
the engine speed and activates other switches
and controls in preparation to do work. The foot
switch is to the platform control box what the
Ground Operation switch is to the ground
control box.
DO NOT step on the platform foot switch while
you are trying to start the engine. The ATB 42/50
is designed not to start, or even crank, if you are
stepping on the foot switch.
■
Battery Switch
When the Battery switch is set to OFF, the
negative terminal of the battery is disconnected
from the electrical system of the ATB 42/50.
However, the positive terminal remains
connected to the emergency power and battery
charging circuits.
