Stability Data
The following table lists the maximum slope recommended for the traction unit in the positions listed in the table. Slopes
over the listed degree may cause the traction unit to become unstable. The data in the table assumes that the loader arms
are fully lowered and that the factory installed tires are on the traction unit, inflated to the recommended pressure; raised
arms and other tire types or pressure may affect the stability.

* In each attachment manual is a set of three stability ratings, one for each hill position. To determine the maximum slope
you can traverse with the attachment installed, find the degree of slope that corresponds to the stabilities ratings of the
attachment. Unless otherwise specified in the attachment manual, assume that the listed ratings are for use without the
counterweight.
Example: If the attachment installed on the traction unit has a Front Uphill rating of B, a Rear Uphill rating of D, and a
Side Uphill rating of C, then you could drive forward up a 20
°
slope, rearward up a 10
°
slope, or sideways on a 13
°
slope,
as listed in the above table.
