Original Abstract Submitted

A lift device includes a base assembly, a platform assembly, a lift assembly coupled between the base assembly and the platform assembly and including a lift actuator configured to raise or lower the platform assembly, a rotary motor configured to rotate the platform assembly, and a controller in communication with the drive motor, the lift actuator, and the rotary motor. The controller is configured to record steps performed by the lift actuator and the rotary motor during a positioning event that moves the platform assembly from an initial position to a work site, and operate the lift actuator and the rotary motor to perform the steps performed during the positioning event in a reverse order and in a movement direction that is opposite to a direction of the steps recorded during the positioning event to automate movement of the platform assembly from the work site to the initial position.
