NOTE: Refer to the Operating Specifications table for Gradeability and
Sideslope ratings.
All ratings for Gradeability and Sideslope are based upon the

Traveling is limited by two factors:
1. Gradeability, which is the percent of grade of the incline the
machine can climb.
2. Sideslope, which is the angle of the slope the machine can
be driven across.
NOTE:
When the upper boom is raised approximately 15 degrees above
horizontal, the high drive function will automatically be in low
drive.
DO NOT DRIVE WITH BOOM ABOVE HORIZONTAL EXCEPT ON A SMOOTH, FIRM AND
LEVEL SURFACE WITHIN THE LIMITS OF THE MAXIMUM OPERATING SLOPE.
TO AVOID LOSS OF TRAVEL CONTROL OR TIP OVER, DO NOT DRIVE MACHINE ON
GRADES EXCEEDING THOSE SPECIFIED IN THE OPERATING SPECIFICATIONS SECTION

DO NOT DRIVE ON SIDESLOPES WHICH EXCEED 5 DEGREES.
