TRAVELING (DRIVING)
See Figure 4-8., Grade and Sideslope
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 SUR
-
FACE WITHIN THE LIMITS OF THE MAXIMUM OPERATING SLOPE.
TO AVOID LOSS OF TRAVEL CONTROL OR TIP OVER ON GRADES AND SIDE SLOPES, DO
NOT DRIVE MACHINE ON GRADES EXCEEDING THOSE SPECIFIED IN THE OPERATING
SPECIFICATIONS SECTION OF THIS MANUAL.
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. IF BOOM IS THE
FRONT OF THE MACHINE, STEER AND DRIVE CONTROLS WILL BE REVERSED.
