Driving on a slope

for the machine and determine the slope grade.
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 wheels.
