5.4 Operations in manual mode

When using the trailer, the loading arm should
never touch the ground. This could damage it or
cause an accident.

NOTE:

Make sure the hand brake is not activated before moving
the trailer.

Bales must only be loaded in automatic mode. However, manual mode can be used to finish any
tasks that could not be done solely in automatic mode for reasons such as a defective sensor.

To carry out these operations in manual mode:

1. In the main menu, press
