Travel on Uneven/Rough Terrain
Do not ride the buggy if the buggy is to travel on uneven/rough terrain.
Instead, raise and secure the platform and walk behind the buggy. Check
to make certain that the mounting bolts are sufficiently tight to retain it in
that position. Do not exceed creep speed.
Travel on Slopes
Do not travel on slopes with a loaded bucket facing downhill.
Traveling with a loaded bucket
When traveling on slopes with a loaded bucket – ensure the bucket
is positioned on the uphill end of the unit, and the operator is on the
downhill end of the unit.
Traveling with an unloaded bucket
When traveling on slopes with an unloaded bucket – ensure the
bucket is positioned on the downhill end of the unit.
Determine if any slopes on your travel route exceed the maximum permissible grade of 10%.
Do not use buggy on any slope that exceeds 10% grade.
Maximum Permissible Grades for Travel
Fore and Aft 10% (6°)
Side to Side 10% (6°)
To calculate Grade, divide the vertical rise by the horizontal run and multiply by 100.
% Grade = (A Divided by B) X 100
% Grade = (C Divided by D) X 100
Example Calculation
: Determine if a slope that is 2 feet high and runs 21 feet horizontally is
safe to travel. Calculate % grade by executing the following.
Dimension A = 2 feet
Dimension B = 21 feet
% Grade = (A Divided by B) X 100
= (2 feet Divided by 21 feet) X 100
= 9.5%
According to the calculation, this slope is safe to travel because the % grade did not exceed the
11
