OPERATING THE MACHINE

MODELS MAX SLOPE RATING
1323RE 50%/26°
1623RE 40%/22°
NOTICE
The mahcine gradeability is subject to ground
conditions and adequate traction..
To determine the slope grade:
Measure the slope grade using a digital slope gauge or
following the procedure as below:
1. Use a carpenter’s level, a straight piece of wood (at
least 1 m [3.3 ft] long) and a tape measure.
2. Lay the piece of wood on the slope.
Figure 7-2
3. 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.
4. While holding the piece of wood level, measure the
vertical distance from the bottom of the piece of
wood to the ground.
5. Slope grade=H/L×100%.
If the slope exceeds the maximium slope or side slope
rating, then the machine must be lifted or transported
up or down the slope. See the Transporting and Lifting
the Machine section.
EXTENDING AND
RETRACTING THE
PLATFORM
1. Raise the platform extension locking handle to
horizontal.
2. Push the handle to extend the platform to the
intended position. Do not stand in the platform
extension while attempting to extend the platform.
3. Lower the platform extension locking handle, and
ensure the extension platform is locked.
OPERATING THE
OUTRIGGERS
NOTICE
Start the machine before operating the outriggers. Be
sure to operate the outriggers with the machine
stowed, other than raised.
To extend the outriggers:
1. Position the machine on the desired work area.
2. Press and hold the outrigger self-level switch, and
hold the enable switch on the control joystick and
slowly deflect backward the control joystick.
3. The outriggers will extend and come in contact
with the ground to level the machine. A beep will
sound and the outrigger self-level switch will be lit
when the machine is level.
To retract the outriggers:
1. Set the machine in stowed position.
2. Press and hold the outrigger self-level switch, and
hold the enable switch on the control joystick and
slowly deflect forward the control joystick.
3. The outriggers will retract, and the indicator light
of the outrigger self-level switch will go out when
the outriggers are off the ground.
Note: The above procedures apply equally to the
individual outrigger level switch.
When the outriggers are not all in close contact with the
ground, the raised height of the machine should not
exceed the height at which the down limit switch
disengages.
When any outrigger is in contact with the ground, the
drive and steer functions will be disabled.
1323RD: When the outriggers are retracted, the max
lifting height should not exceed 13m (42.65ft).
1623RD: When the outriggers are retracted, the max
lifting height should not exceed 9m (29.52 ft).
