Driving on a slope
Determine the uphill, downhill and side slope ratings for the machine and determine the slope grade.

| Maximum slope rating, platform downhill (gradeability): 40% (22°)
---|---
| Maximum slope rating, platform uphill: 40% (22°)
| Maximum side slope rating: 25% (14°)

Note: Slope rating is subject to ground conditions with one person in the platform and adequate traction. Additional platform weight may reduce slope rating. The term gradeability applies to the counterweight uphill configuration only.
Be sure the boom is below horizontal and the platform is between the circle- end wheels. Move the drive speed select switch to machine on incline symbol.
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
• 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 = 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.

Check the Engine Coolant Level – Liquid Cooled Models
Maintaining the engine coolant at the proper level is essential to engine service life. Improper coolant level will affect the engine’s cooling capability and damage engine components. Daily checks will allow the inspector to identify changes in coolant level that might indicate cooling system problems.

1. Check the coolant fluid level. Add fluid as needed.
   Result (Deutz TD2.9L engine): The fluid level should be visible in the sight gauge on the degas tank.
   Result (all other engine models): The fluid level should be in the NORMAL range. Bodily Injury Hazard. Fluids in the radiator and in the degas tank are under pressure and extremely hot. Use caution when removing cap and adding fluids.

Check the Batteries
Proper battery condition is essential to good machine performance and operational safety. Improper fluid levels or damaged cables and connections can result in component damage and hazardous conditions.
Electrocution hazard. Contact with hot or live circuits may result in death or serious injury. Remove all rings, watches and other jewelry.
Bodily injury hazard. Batteries contain acid.
Avoid spilling or contacting battery acid.
Neutralize battery acid spills with baking soda and water.

1. Put on protective clothing and eye wear.
2. Be sure that the battery cable connections are tight and free of corrosion.
3. Be sure that the battery hold-down brackets are in place and secure.
   Note: Adding terminal protectors and a corrosion preventative sealant will help eliminate the corrosion on the battery terminals and cables.
