Driving on a slope
Determine the slope and side slope ratings for
the machine and determine the slope grade.
maximum slope rating, stowed position 25%,
maximum side slope rating, stowed position
25%.
Note: Slope rating is subject to ground
conditions and adequate traction.
Press the drive speed button to the fast drive
speed mode.
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 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:
Run = 3.6 m
Rise = 0.3 m
0.3 m ÷ 3.6 m = 0.083 x 100 = 8.3%
If the slope exceeds the maximum slope or
side slope rating, the machine must be
winched or transported up or down the slope.
See Transport and Lifting section.
Operation from Ground with
Controller
Maintain safe distances between operator,
machine and fixed objects.
Be aware of the direction the machine will
travel when using the controller.
Battery Level Indicator
Full Low
Use the LED readout screen to determine the
battery level.
How to use the Safety Arm
1 Raise the platform until the distance of the
two sets of scissor at least 0.5m.
2 Lift the safety arm, move it to the center of
the scissor arm and rotate up to a vertical
position.
3 Lift the upper safety arm, move it to the
center of the scissor arm and rotate down
to a vertical position. (for ES1412H/E,
ES1612HLB/ELB, ES1612HCP/ECP).
4 Lower the platform until the safety arm
rests securely on the link. Keep clear of
the safety arm when lowering the platform.
Engage all safety arms before
performing maintenance or repair..
Don’t engage the safety arm
unless unload the platform.
