Operating Instructions
To select drive speed
The drive controls can operate in two different
drive speed modes. When the drive speed button
light is on, slow drive speed mode is active. When
the button light is off, fast drive speed mode is
active.
Press the drive speed button to select
the desired drive speed.
Note: When the platform is elevated,
the drive speed button light is always
on, indicating elevated drive speed.
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-1432m, GS-1932m,
GS-1932m Lite
Maximum side slope rating, stowed position:
GS-1432m, GS-1932m,
GS-1932m Lite
Note: Slope rating is subject to ground conditions
with one person in the platform and adequate
traction. Additional platform weight may reduce
slope rating.

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 3 feet/1 m long
•
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 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 = 144 inches (3.6 m)
Run = 144 inches (3.6 m)
Rise = 12 inches (0.3 m)
12 in ÷ 144 in = 0.083 x 100 = 8.3% grade
0.3 m ÷ 3.6 m = 0.083 x 100 = 8.3% grade
If the slope exceeds the maximum slope or side
slope rating, then the machine must be winched or
transported up or down the slope. See Transport
and Lifting section.
