Driving on a slope

Determine the uphill, downhill and side slope ratings

for the machine and determine the slope grade.

Maximum slope rating,

counterweight uphill (gradeability):

20% (11°)

Maximum slope rating, counterweight

downhill: 20% (11°)

Maximum side slope rating:

20% (11°)

Note: Slope rating is subject to ground conditions

and adequate traction. The term gradeability applies

to the counterweight uphill configuration only.

Be sure the boom is below horizontal and the

platform is between the non-steer tires.

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.

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 up or down the slope. See

Transport and Lifting Instructions section.
