3 - Description

AutoSlant

When the AutoSlant function is installed, sensors placed on the boom are used to adjust the main slant angle of the boom
relative to the terrain.

To spray efficiently on hilly terrain, it is important to adjust the boom to be parallel to the terrain.

Ladder

An integrated ladder is available for climbing up to inspect the sprayer
e.g. for looking into the main tank.

Open the left side locker and pull the ladder out.

Unfold it completely before climbing up.
