Operating Procedures
This chapter explains how to properly start and
operate an ATB 42/50 that has either a gasoline
or diesel engine. Starting a gasoline engine that
is set up to burn LPG only or dual fuel, is also
explained in this chapter. Read and understand
all the previous chapters in this manual before
you begin to operate an ATB 42/50.
If you use the ATB 42/50 for painting be sure
the optional sandblast protection kit is installed
to protect the hydraulic cylinder rods from
paint. Do not leave the ATB 42/50 engine
running if you are sandblasting. Sand drawn
through the radiator erodes the core and fan.

Control Stations
An ATB 42/50 can be operated from the ground
control box or from the platform control box.
There are basically two differences between
ground control and platform control operations,
both are safety related:
1. The ground control box can override the
platform control box at any time. If a person
operating the machine from the platform
becomes incapacitated, a person on the
ground can always take over machine control.
2. The ATB 42/50 can only be driven from the
platform control box. The wheels cannot be
made to move from the ground control box.
This prevents ground control operators from
running over themselves.
The ATB 42/50 is not Electrically Insulated.
Death or Serious Injury to operating
personnel, can occur if the machine should
come into contact with energized electrical
wires during operation.
DO NOT attempt to operate the ATB 42/50
ground controls if the platform, booms, or any
other conducting part of an ATB 42/50 is in
contact with energized electrical wires or if
there is an immediate danger of such contact.
See the “Electrical Hazard Warning” section
for a complete explanation of the hazards
concerning electricity.
