since your vehicle doesn’t have an inclinometer,
you’ve got to be
very careful
when traveling over
rough or hilly ground,
especially
in deep snow.
here are few
pointers to keep
you on track…

drivers,
your susv can roll over when
angling up or down a side slope that’s
steeper than 22 degrees.
you need a new
filter but the
one listed here is
pretty
expensive!
you’re
in luck
‘cause…
…fifty
percent
of the
deal
is one
hundred
percent
about
price!
wait,
what?
I wonder
if there’s a
cheaper
deal?
once you
puzzle it
out, keep
that quote
in mind when
it comes
to the
fluid filter
element for
the 22-ton
crane’s
fuel/water
separator.
as
baseball
icon yogi
berra just
said,
“fifty
percent of
the deal
is one
hundred
percent
about
price!”
you can get that same
basic filter at a
much
cheaper price

uhH…
sure,
yogi!
whatever
you say!
it does the same
job and only costs

whoa!
yikes!
it lists for
more than
$290 bucks on

most obstacles
can
be over-
come if you give them a little
thought before crossing.
using the
right methods
will avoid track damage
and keep you upright.
and that’s cut in half—
just 11 degrees—when
dealing with
deep snow!
Always cross ruts
at an angle
Straddle ruts when
traveling along them
Make smooth, slow
turns when operating
on icy, slippery slopes
When in doubt about the slope angle, find a different place to climb!
