This International Standard specifies laboratory test procedures to establish the static slope capability of fluid System(s) Operation of earth-moving machines (engine, power train, fuel System, oil System, etc.). lt evaluates the Performance Parameters that limit the static slope capability of machine System(s) Operation.
The preferred static slope capability test method is with the machine on a tilt platform or on a prepared slope. An acceptable alternative method is the testing of complete fluid Systems on a test bench. In either method, precautions are necessary to ensure safety.
This International Standard applies to earth-moving machines as given in ISO 6165, with combinations of Standard mounted attachments.
