The drive controls can operate in two different
drive speed modes. When the engine lower
speed idle select button light is on, slow drive
speed mode is active. When the engine high

Driving on a slope
Determine the slope and side slope ratings for
the machine and determine the slope grade.
Maximum slope rating, stowed position 30%,
Maximum side slope rating, stowed position
25%
Note: Slope rating is subject to ground
conditions and adequate traction.
Press the drive speed select switch 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:
Carpenter’s level
Straight piece of wood, at least 1 m long
tape 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=3.6m
Rise = 0.3 m
0.3 m ÷ 3.6 m = 0.083 x 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.
