! Notice: Rated value of slope is
limited by the ground conditions and
traction.
1) Determination of grade: Measure the slope
with a digital inclinometer or follow the
steps below.
2) Tools required: Carpenter’s ruler, straight
block with a length of at least 1m, tape
measure.
3) Place the block on the slope.
Place the carpentry’s ruler on the upper
edge of the block at the end of the downhill
slope and raise the end of the block until it
is level.
Keep the block level and measure the
vertical distance from the bottom of the
block to the ground.
Divide the tape measure distance (the
raised height) by the block length (travel)
and multiply by 100.
Example:
Wood block = 11.8ft
Travel = 11.8ft
Raised height = 0.98ft
0.98/11.8==8.3 % rating
4) If the slope exceeds the maximum uphill,
downhill or side slope rating, the vehicle
must be lifted or transported up and down
the slope. See the Transportation and
Lifting section for further instructions on
transporting the machine.
9.8 Platform Extension and
Retraction
1) Raise the extension lock handle of the
platform to the upper limit position (about
80 ゜) of handle.
2) Push the extension lock handle of the
platform to extend the platform to the
required position.
3) Do not stand on the extension platform
when extending the platform.
4) Press the extension lock handle of the
platform to make the upper and lower truss
plate engage with each other, to lock the
extension platform.
9.9 Emergency Descent
1) When unable to lower the platform normally
due to a fault, enable the emergency
descending function. Simultaneously press
the auxiliary function enabling button and
the auxiliary descent button to lower the
platform.
9.10 Using Platform Control
Station to Operate on the
Ground
1) Maintain a safe distance among operator,
machine and stationary objects.
2) Pay attention to the forward direction of
machine when using the control station.
9.11 Outrigger Operation
1) Put the machine in an accepted operation
area.
Notice: The engine must be running to
operate the outriggers.
2) Press and hold the automatic leveling
button.
