Stability Ratings

To determine the degree of slope you can traverse with the
attachment installed on a traction unit, find the stability rating
for the hill position you want to travel in the appropriate table
below, then find the degree of slope for the same rating and
hill position in the Stability Data section of the traction unit
Operator's Manual.
WARNING
Exceeding the maximum recommended slope
can cause the traction unit to tip, crushing you or
bystanders.
Do not drive the traction unit on a slope steeper
than the maximum recommended slope, as
determined in the following tables and the traction
unit Operator's Manual .
Important: If you have a traction unit other than
the TX, the snowthrower is rated for use without the
counterweight. If you use the counterweight with the
snowthrower, the traction unit will be less stable in the
front and side uphill positions.
