Third Edition • Second Printing Operator's Manual

To Drive

1Press the drive function select button.

2Press and hold the function enable switch on the control handle.

3Increase speed: Slowly move the control handle off center.

Decrease speed: Slowly move the control handle toward center.

Stop: Return the control handle to center or release the function enable switch.

Use the color-coded direction arrows on the platform controls and on the platform to identify the direction the machine will travel.

Machine travel speed is restricted when the platform is raised.

Battery condition will affect machine performance. Machine drive speed and function speed will drop when the battery level indicator is flashing.

Driving on a slope

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

Maximum slope rating, stowed:

GS-1530 and GS-1930 30% (17°)

GS-1930 and GS-1932 25% (14°)

Maximum side slope rating, stowed:

GS-1530 and GS-1930 30% (17°)

GS-1930 and GS-1932 25% (14°)

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 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 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%
