4.4 TRAVELING (DRIVING)
See Figure 4-4., Grade and Sideslopes
NOTE: Refer to the Operating Specifications table for Gradeability and
Sideslope ratings.
All ratings for Gradeability and Sideslope are based upon the
machine’s boom being in the stowed position, fully lowered, and
retracted.
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.
DO NOT DRIVE WITH BOOM ABOVE HORIZONTAL EXCEPT ON A SMOOTH, FIRM AND
LEVEL SURFACE.
TO AVOID LOSS OF TRAVEL CONTROL OR “TIP OVER”, DO NOT DRIVE MACHINE ON
GRADES EXCEEDING THOSE SPECIFIED ON THE SERIAL NUMBER PLATE.
BE SURE THE TURNTABLE LOCK IS ENGAGED BEFORE ANY EXTENDED TRAVELING.
DO NOT DRIVE ON SIDESLOPES WHICH EXCEED 5 DEGREES.
USE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN DRIVING IN REVERSE AND AT ALL TIMES WHEN THE
PLATFORM IS ELEVATED.
BEFORE DRIVING, MAKE SURE BOOM IS POSITIONED OVER REAR DRIVE AXLE. IF
BOOM IS OVER FRONT WHEELS, STEER AND DRIVE CONTROLS WILL BE REVERSED.
