To Reduce Drive Speed

The drive controls can operate in two different drive speed modes. When the drive speed button light is on, slow drive speed mode is active. When the button light is off, fast drive speed mode is active.

Press the drive speed button to select the desired drive speed.

Driving on a slope

Determine the slope and side slope ratings for the machine and determine the slope grade.

Maximum slope rating, stowed position: 30% (17°)

Maximum side slope rating, stowed position: 30% (17°)

Note: Slope rating is subject to ground conditions and adequate traction.

Press the drive speed button to the fast drive speed mode.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

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 1 m long

tape measure

Lay the piece of wood on the slope.

At 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 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:

run

rise

Run = 3.6 m

Rise = 0.3 m

0.3 m ÷ 3.6 m = 0.083 x 100 = 8.3%

If the slope exceeds the maximum slope or side slope rating, the machine must be winched or transported up or down the slope. See Transport and Lifting section.
