direction the machine will travel.
Machine travel speed is restricted when the
platform is raised.
Battery condition will affect machine performance.

Driving on a slope
Determine the slope and side slope ratings for the
machine and determine the slope grade.
Maximum slope rating, stowed:
GS-1530 and GS-1930 30% (17°)
GS-1930 and GS-1932 25% (14°)
Maximum side slope rating, stowed:
GS-1530 and GS-1930 30% (17°)
GS-1930 and GS-1932 25% (14°)
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%
