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 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 = 3.6 m
Run = 3.6 m
Rise = 0.3 m
0.3 m
3.6 m = 0.083 x 100 = 8.3 % grade
If the slope exceeds the maximum uphill, downhill
or side slope rating, then the machine must be
winched or transported up or down the slope. See
Transport and Lifting section.

, and
and the drive function in one or both
directions will not operate. Identify
the condition of the boom on the slope as shown
below. Follow the steps to lower the boom before
moving to a firm, level surface. Do not rotate the
boom while lowering.
If the tilt alarm sounds with the
platform uphill:
1 Lower the primary boom.
2 Lower the secondary boom.
3 Retract the primary boom.
If the tilt alarm sounds with the
platform downhill:
1 Retract the primary
boom.
2 Lower the secondary
boom.
3 Lower the primary
boom.
