Traveling on a Grade

When traveling a grade, maximum braking and traction are obtained
with the boom stowed, in position over the rear (drive) axle, and in
line with the direction of travel. Drive the machine forward when
climbing a grade, and in reverse when descending a grade. Do not
exceed the machine's maximum rated gradability.
