Machine travel speed is restricted when the platform is raised.
Battery condition will affect machine performance. Machine drive speed and function speed will
drop when the battery level indicator is flashing.
To reduce drive speed
The drive controls can operate in two different drive speed modes. When the drive speed button
light is on, slow drive speed mode is active. When the button light is off, fast drive speed mode is active.
Press the drive speed button to select the desired drive speed.
Driving on a slope
Determine the slope and side slope ratings for the machine and determine the slope grade.
JCPT0808, JCPT1012, JCPT1008, JCPT1212, JCPT1412, JCPT1612, maximum slope rating,
stowed position 25%, maximum side slope rating, stowed position 25%.
Note: Slope rating is subject to ground conditions and adequate traction.
Press the drive speed button to the fast drive speed mode.
To determine the slope grade
Measure the slope with a digital inclinometer OR use the following procedure.
You will need:
①Carpenter’s level
②Straight piece of wood, at least 1 m long
③Tape measure
Lay the piece of wood on the slope.
At the downhill end, lay the level on the top edge of the piece of wood and lift the end until the
piece of wood is level.
While holding the piece of wood level, measure the distance from the bottom of the piece of wood
to the ground.
Divide the tape measure distance (rise) by the length of the piece of wood (run) and multiply by
100.
Example:
Run = 3.6 m
Rise = 0.3 m
0.3 m ÷ 3.6 m = 0.083×100% = 8.3%
If the slope exceeds the maximum slope or side slope rating, the machine must be winched or
transported up or down the slope. See Transport and Lifting section.
Operation from Ground with Controller
Maintain safe distances between operator, machine and fixed objects.
Be aware of the direction the machine will travel when using the controller.
