Still RX60 35-50, Original Instructions Manual

Driving on ascending and descending
gradients
WARNING
Risk of accident due to the drive unit switching off!
Driving up and down longer gradients can cause the
drive unit to overheat and switch off. The truck will
then no longer decelerate when the accelerator ped-
al is released and will coast.
Driving up and down longer gradients greater than
15% is not permitted due to the minimum specified
braking values. The climbing capability values given
below apply only to negotiating obstacles on the
roadway and to temporary differences in level, e.g.
ramps.
–
Consult the authorised service centre before driv-
ing on long ascending and descending gradients
greater than 15%.
It is permitted to drive the truck on the following ascending and descending gradients:
Model Type
Maximum gradient [%]
With a load Without a load
RX60-35/600 6331 12.4 20.3
RX60-40 6332 11.6 19.7
RX60-40/600 6333 11 18.8
RX60-45 6334 10.5 18.8
RX60-45/600 6335 9.6 16.3
RX60-50 6336 9.2 16.3
RX60-50/600 6337 8.9 15.5
The ascending and descending gradients
must not exceed the gradients listed above
and must have a rough surface.
The top and bottom of the gradient must fea-
ture smooth and gradual transitions to prevent
the load from falling to the ground or the truck
being damaged.
Warning in the event that components
protrude beyond the truck contour
Trucks are often required to drive through very
narrow or very low spaces such as aisles or
containers. The dimensions of the trucks are
designed for this purpose. However, movable
components may protrude beyond the truck
