Optional Drive System Safety
Tip-over Hazards
Use extreme care and slow speeds while driving
the machine in the stowed position across uneven
terrain, debris, unstable or slippery surfaces and
near holes and drop-offs.
Do not drive the machine on a slope that exceeds
the maximum uphill, downhill or side slope rating
of the machine. Slope rating applies to machines
in the stowed position.
Maximum slope rating, stowed position
Toungue/hitch uphill 20 % (11°)
Toungue/hitch downhill 20 % (11°)
Side slope 20 % (11°)
Note: Slope rating is subject to ground conditions
and adequate traction.
Collision Hazards
Do not drive the machine unless the parking brake
is released on the tongue.
Do not drive the machine unless the platform is
fully lowered.
Be aware of limited sight distance and blind spots
when driving or operating.
Observe and use the color-coded direction arrows
on the drive control box for drive and steer
functions.
Limit travel speed according to the condition of the
ground surface, congestion, slope, location of
personnel, and any other factors which may cause
collision.
Use common sense and planning when operating
the drive system from the ground. Remove the
drive control box from its mounting and step away
from the machine before driving. Maintain safe
distances between the operator, the machine and
fixed objects.
