Operating Instructions
Driving on a slope
Determine the slope and side slope ratings for the
machine and determine the slope grade.
Maximum slope rating, stowed position:
GS-1330m
Maximum side slope rating, stowed position:
GS-1330m
Note: Slope rating is subject to ground conditions
with one person in the platform and adequate
traction. Additional platform weight may reduce
slope rating.
Press the drive speed button to the fast drive speed
mode.

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
25%
14°
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
25%
14°
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 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.
