GENERAL OPERATION
Slope Gauge Settings and Operation WARNING Do not attempt to enter or use the options menu while driving the power unit. Park the power unit in a safe location and engage the parking brake before entering the menu to make changes. Always make sure the slope gauge is calibrated cor- rectly and the slope limit set-points are set to match the power unit configuration prior to operating the power unit. Never set the slope limit set-points for the audible or visual alerts to a higher value than the power unit configuration can safely handle. Refer to the Operating On Slopes section of this manual and the safety section of the attachment’s manual to deter- mine the correct slope limit. When changing attachments and/or power unit configuration, always update the audible and visual warning set-points to reflect any changes to the maximum slope rating. Be aware of whether the audible alarm is turned on (enabled) or muted. Do not depend solely upon the slope gauge alarm to alert you to dangerous situations. Do not operate on slopes that make you feel uncomfortable. Operation The slope gauge is equipped with a sensor to the left of the display screen. SLOPE 0 °

Swiping to fast or hovering your hand above the sensor area can cause unintentional input. • If the sensor is not capturing your swipe move- ments, try increasing or decreasing the distance from the surface of the gauge, slowing down your motion, or using your entire hand instead of just your thumb.
