Driving on a slope

Determine the uphill, downhill and side slope

ratings for the machine and determine the slope

grade.

Maximum slope rating,

toungue/hitch uphill,

stowed position : 20% (11°)

Maximum slope rating,

toungue/hitch downhill,

stowed position: 20% (11°)

Maximum side slope rating,

stowed position: 20% (11°)

Note: Slope rating is subject to ground conditions

and adequate traction.

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 3 feet / 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.

run

rise

While holding the piece of wood level, measure

the vertical 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:

Piece of wood = 144 inches (3.6 m)

Run = 144 inches (3.6 m)

Rise = 12 inches (0.3 m)

12 in ÷ 144 in = 0.083 x 100 = 8.3% grade

0.3 m ÷ 3.6 m = 0.083 x 100 = 8.3 % grade

If the slope exceeds the maximum uphill, downhill

or side slope rating, then the machine must be

winched or transported by the tow vehicle up or

down the slope. See Transport and Lifting

Instructions section.
