OPERATING THE MACHINE
Downhill: 25%/14°
Sideslope: 25%/14°
2. Ensure the machine is in stowed position.
3. Ensure the slope grade is within the limit of the
machine gradeability.
NOTICE
Gradeability refers to the maximum permissible
percentage of the slope (or called slope grade as
below) when the machine is on solid ground with
sufficient traction and the platform is carrying only
one person. As the weight of the machine’s platform
increases, the machine’s gradeability will be
decreased.
To determine the slope grade:
1. Prepare a carpenter’s level, a straight piece of
wood (at least 1 m [3.3 ft] long) and a tape
measure.
2. Measure the height (H) and length/distance (L) of
the slope.
Figure 7-5
3. Slope grade= H/L x 100%.
NOTICE
To prevent the tires running suspended, the machine
must not drive for over 2min on the maximum
permissible slope grade.
