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 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 = 3.6 m
Run = 3.6 m
Rise = 0.3 m
0.3 m ÷ 3.6 m = 0.083; 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 section.

Drive Enable
Light on indicates that the boom
has moved just past either
non-steer wheel and the drive
function has been interrupted.
To drive, move the drive enable
switch to either side and slowly
move the drive control handle off
center.
Be aware that the machine may move in the
opposite direction that the drive and steer controls
are moved.
Always use the color-coded direction arrows on
the platform controls and the drive chassis to
identify the direction the machine will travel.
Notes:The turntable rotation may be disabled in
the stowed configuration, due to the automatic
control system. See the message shown in the
display.
The primary boom down function may be disabled
when the boom is next to the chassis, due to
the automatic control system. See the message
shown in the display.
The primary boom may be lifted when the
secondary boom is lowering, due to the automatic
control system. See the message shown in the
display.
