How critical is it to park on level ground?

[Nomad74]

Cleaning at a house with a steep driveway. I don’t think the picture does the incline justice. How critical is it to be level? I realize oil levels and floats like a level area, but is it necessary?

Good morning. I see the nurse woke you up for fruit cup time.

I'd more concerned about the CO (carbon monoxide ) in the garage than running on the grade .....

..L.T.A.

You should see some of the walls that we have to deal with in the Santa Cruz mountains makes that silly little driveway look inverted

 

[BIG WOOD]

Did you get light headed in that house from the fumes?

This is so true it needs to be said more the once. Park on the street before you Kill yourelf, and maybe the customer, you knumbskull!!

How' this for steep!! What's scary is with the Vortex you can't set the parking brake while using the machine.!

 

[Papa John]

After a closer look, I'm would think you bottomed out on that driveway. hope you didn't damage anything important.

It all worked out okay. No bottoming. Taking the kids to the new Thor movie now. It was a good day.

Wheel chocks.

I had one so steep a couple of weeks ago, the engine wouldn't run. The oil shut off float was shutting the engine down. Had to park on the street and run another 50 feet of hose.

WOW! that must have been one steep hill.!!

Should have seen the 75 or so stairs leading to the lower suite. Cleaning about 70 ft lower than the truck. House is right on the beach.

With your Bane?

 

[Able 1]

I think I read somewhere that that max is a 35 degree angle, that is steep!!

Don't think it would matter much for a DD unit..

Bane?

 

[Nate The Great]

Bane?

Meaning you using your portable in a van...

No I wouldn't do that. Unless the truck mount was broke. This one was a 200 ft set up just for 3 rooms.

Well, I took the wife and kids to see the Thor movie last night. All my wife talked about after it was how hot Thore was. I should have left her home. The magic of the fat Tom Cruise has faded.

 

[BIG WOOD]

Lol

That reminds me. My pressure washer wants to turn in circles as it runs. It’s a 13 hp Honda motor. It can be run as low as 1200 psi, or cranked up, 5000...... @ 5k, a guy needs to use both hands. Buuut, it’s winter, and not something I have to worry about for another 4-5 months.
