Stability Data
T he follo wing table lists the maxim um slope recommended for the traction unit in the positions listed
in the table . Slopes o v er the listed deg ree ma y cause the traction unit to become unstable . T he data in
the table assumes that the loader ar ms are fully lo w ered and that the factor y installed tires are on the
traction unit, inflated to the recommended pressure; raised ar ms and other tire types or pressure ma y
affect the stability .
Maximum Recommended Slope when
Operating with:
Front Uphill Rear Uphill Side Uphill
Conguration
Traction unit without attachment
7° 20° 17°
Traction unit with counterweight, without attachment
5° 21° 17°
Traction unit with an attachment rated with one of the following
stability ratings for each slope position:*
A
25° 25° 20°
B
18° 19° 18°
C
15° 16° 14°
D
10° 10° 9°
E
5° 5° 5°
* In eac h attac hment man ual is a set of three stability ratings , one for eac h hill position. T o deter mine the
maxim um slope y ou can tra v erse with the attac hment installed, find the deg ree of slope that cor responds
to the stabilities ratings of the attac hment.
Example: If the attac hment installed on the traction unit has a F ront Uphill rating of B , a R ear Uphill
rating of D , and a Side Uphill rating of C , then y ou could dri v e forw ard up an 18° slope , rearw ard up a
10° slope , or sidew a ys on a 14° slope , as listed in the abo v e table .
