Before your machine arrives at the field, verify that the terrain does not contain conditions that may cause
structural damage . Refer to the Slope Limitations Table (right) and the Slope Considerations section fol-
lowing to ensure that your machine will run safely with your current field conditions. Slopes exceeding the
limitations for specified span lengths could cause structural damage to the machine. To calculate the slope
at a given point, divide the rise of the slope by the horizontal run of the slope, as shown in the slope details
following . For example, if a slope rises one foot in ten feet measured horizontally, then the slope is 1/10, or
10% .
Other more obvious considerations may include obstacles such as buildings, power poles, fences, trees,
rock outcroppings, well sites, etc . Be sure that the machine will adequately clear these before assembly,
or running the machine unattended . Allow adequate clearance for obstacles . The system passes over to
ensure there is no contact if the machine creates wheel ruts during operation . The system may become
closer to the ground as it operates .
