DANGER
The use of the AutoTrail steering drawbar
•
for precise tracking on sloping terrain is prohibited.
Only use the AutoTrail steering drawbar on level ground.
Unevenness of a maximum 5° (due to furrows) is permitted.
•
for manoeuvring while reversing is prohibited.
Risk of the machine tipping over.
•
When using the tracking steering drawbar, there is a risk of
tipping over when performing a turning manoeuvre on a
headland, and on tight bends at high speeds, due to the
shifting of the centre of gravity when the steering drawbar is
pushed in.
•
The risk of tipping over is especially great when travelling
downhill on uneven ground.
•
Adapt your driving accordingly and reduce speed when
performing a turning manoeuvre on a headland, so that you
are in complete control of the tractor and trailed sprayer.
To prevent the sprayer from tipping over, observe the following gen-
eral principles:
•
Avoid sudden, sharp turns.
•
Reduce speed before turning.
•
While turning, do not brake suddenly if still steering.
•
Exercise extreme caution when steering in furrows.
