Driving on a slope
Determine the slope and side slope ratings for the
machine and determine the slope grade.
Platform downhill 25% (14°)
Platform uphill 20% (11.3°)
Side slope 15% (9°)
Note: Slope rating is subject to ground conditions
with one person in the platform and adequate
traction. Additional platform weight may reduce
slope rating.
Be sure the platform is lowered and the platform is
between the non-steer wheels.

When the Machine On Incline
indicator light is on and the tilt
alarm sounds, the following
functions are affected; drive
functions are disabled.
To restore drive functions, follow
the boom lowering process,
explained in the previous
procedure.
When the machine is stowed, on a
slope, and the tilt alarm sounds,
the following functions are
affected; lift functions are
disabled.
Return the machine to level
ground to restore lift functions.
To determine the slope grade:
Measure the slope with a digital inclinometer OR
use the following procedure.
You will need:
•
carpenter’s level
•
straight piece of wood, at least 3 feet/1 m long
•
tape measure
Lay the piece of wood on the slope.
At the downhill end, lay the level on the top edge
of the piece of wood and lift the end until the piece
of wood is level.
While holding the piece of wood level, measure
the vertical distance from the bottom of the piece
of wood to the ground.
Divide the tape measure distance (rise) by the
length of the piece of wood (run) and multiply by
100.
Example:
Piece of wood = 144 inches (3.6 m)
Run = 144 inches (3.6 m)
Rise = 12 inches (0.3 m)
12 in ÷ 144 in = 0.083 x 100 = 8.3% grade
0.3 m ÷ 3.6 m = 0.083 x 100 = 8.3% grade
If the slope exceeds the maximum slope or side
slope rating, then the machine must be winched or
transported up or down the slope. See Transport
and Lifting section.
