TRAVELING (DRIVING)
NOTE:
When the upper boom is raised approximately 11 degrees above
horizontal, the high drive function will automatically be in low
drive.
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 THE MEWP OUT OF TRANSPORT MODE EXCEPT ON A SMOOTH, FIRM
SURFACE WITHIN THE LIMITS OF THE MAXIMUM OPERATING SLOPE.
TO AVOID LOSS OF TRAVEL CONTROL OR TIP OVER, 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 4 DEGREES.
USE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN DRIVING IN REVERSE AND AT ALL TIMES WHEN DRIV
-
ING WITH PLATFORM ELEVATED.
BEFORE DRIVING, MAKE SURE BOOM IS POSITIONED OVER REAR DRIVE AXLE. IF
BOOM IS OVER FRONT WHEELS, STEER AND DRIVE CONTROLS WILL BE REVERSED.
LOCATE THE BLACK/WHITE ORIENTATION ARROWS ON BOTH THE CHASSIS AND THE
PLATFORM CONTROLS. MOVE THE DRIVE CONTROLS IN A DIRECTION MATCHING THE
DIRECTIONAL ARROWS FOR THE INTENDED DIRECTION OF TRAVEL.
