CONTINUOUS FEED
This function is available on the electro spool valve (B).
OPERATION
Activate the floating position (see "floating position" in the
"joystick operation" section).
Important: The floating position is intended to avoid
pressure surges in the hydraulic circuit. This protects the
tractor and implements from mechanical stresses. It is
essential, especially for high inertia engines.
- Set the flow limiter (4) to minimum position (fully
counterclockwise).
- Set the switch (5) to position (2). Hold the lock (a) down when
manoeuvring the switch, and indicator light (b) comes on.
- Adjust the flow to the value required for correct operation of
the implement.
TURNING OFF THE CONTINUOUS FEED
To stop continuous feed, set switch (5) to position (1).
Note: When flashing, indicator light (b) indicates a system
fault. Refer to your approved CLAAS repair agent.
STOPPING THE ELECTROPILOT SYSTEM
To stop the electropilot, press button (1). Light (2) goes out.
Important: Never press button (1) if switch (5) is in
continuous supply position: Risk of system fault.
CONTROLS IN THE EVENT OF
BREAKDOWNS
The Electropilot system includes manual controls (6) for moving
an implement in the event of electrical system failure. Activate
control (6) of the spool valve concerned.
- An upward action supplies the red pressure take-off. The
yellow pressure take-off is then in return.
- Adownward action supplies the yellow pressure take-off. The
red pressure take-off is then in return.

The use of the manual controls should be
exceptional when the joystick is
non-operational. This actuation must be carried
out inside the cab, making sure there is nobody near the
implement.
