TRAVELING (DRIVING)

See Figure 4-5., Grade and Sideslope
NOTE: Refer to the Operating Specifications table for Gradeability and
Sideslope ratings.
All ratings for Gradeability and Sideslope are based upon the
machine's boom being in the stowed position, fully lowered, and
retracted.
Traveling is limited by two factors:
1.
Gradeability, which is the percent of grade of the incline the
machine can climb.
2.
Sideslope, which is the angle of the slope the machine can
be driven across.
