Test the Drive Speed -
Stowed Position
Proper drive function movement is essential to
safe machine operation. The drive function should
respond quickly and smoothly to operator control.
Drive performance should also be free of
hesitation, jerking and unusual noise over the
entire proportionally controlled speed range.
Select a test area that is firm, level
and free of obstructions.
Be sure the boom is fully retracted
and lowered to the stowed
position.
1 Create start and finish lines by marking two
lines on the ground 40 feet (12.2 m) apart.
2 Start the engine from the platform controls.
3 Move the lift/drive select switch to the drive
position (if equipped).
4 Choose a point on the machine; i.e., contact
patch of a tire, as a visual reference for use
when crossing the start and finish lines.
