this is probably one of the easiest ones actually. You can leave the octave key down for the Eb, and then finger a normal Ab. If it's in the lower register you don't have to change anything. You can leave your finger down on the Ab and it won't change anything. If, when you play an Eb, while holding down the Ab key(which should normally work) it comes out fuzzy, check to see if your Ab key is adjusted properly.
To check: play a low C, and then tap the G# key. It shouldn't change the sound whatsoever. If it does, turn the screw CLOCKWISE that is on top of the G# pad. This will close it down tighter. Make sure however, that you only turn SLIGHTLY as these are adjustment screws not regular screws. Start with a 1/4 turn at most, and keep turning and testing, until there is no change in sound, when the key is tapped.
Hopefully that answered most of your questions.
