Stability Data
The following tables list the maximum slope recommended for the traction unit in the positions listed in the tables.
Slopes over the listed degree may cause the traction unit to become unstable. The data in the tables assume that the
loader arms are fully lowered; raised arms may affect the stability.
In each attachment manual is a set of three stability ratings, one for each hill position. To determine the maximum
slope you can traverse with the attachment installed, find the degree of slope that corresponds to the stability ratings
of the attachment. Example: If the attachment has a Front Uphill rating of B, a Rear Uphill rating of D, and a
Side Uphill rating of C, then you could drive forward up an 18° slope, rearward up a 10° slope, or sideways on a
14° slope, as listed in the following table.
