Slope Gauge Settings and Operation
WARNING
Do not attempt to enter or use the options menu
while driving the power unit. Park the power unit in
a safe location and engage the parking brake before
entering the menu to make changes.
Always make sure the slope gauge is calibrated cor-
rectly and the slope limit set-points are set to match
the power unit configuration prior to operating the
power unit.
Never set the slope limit set-points for the audible
or visual alerts to a higher value than the power
unit configuration can safely handle. Refer to the
Operating On Slopes section of this manual and the
safety section of the attachment’s manual to deter-
mine the correct slope limit.
When changing attachments and/or power unit
configuration, always update the audible and visual
warning set-points to reflect any changes to the
maximum slope rating.
Be aware of whether the audible alarm is turned on
(enabled) or muted.
Do not depend solely upon the slope gauge alarm
to alert you to dangerous situations. Do not operate
on slopes that make you feel uncomfortable.
Operation
The slope gauge is equipped with a sensor to the left
of the display screen.

Tips for Selecting and Swiping
•
Do not try to hold (select) or swipe while wearing
gloves.
• After making a selection or swiping, move your
hand away from the gauge before repeating.
Swiping to fast or hovering your hand above the
sensor area can cause unintentional input.
• If the sensor is not capturing your swipe move-
ments, try increasing or decreasing the distance
from the surface of the gauge, slowing down your
motion, or using your entire hand instead of just
your thumb.
