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.
When the boom is raised or extended, the machine should
not be operated on grades or sideslopes that are greater
than that detected by the tilt alarm. The tilt alarm will sound
to alert the operator when the machine is on an unsafe
slope. The machines high drive function will also be cut
back to low drive.
