Preparing TRAIL-Control for road driving
Before driving with the field sprayer on a public road, you must switch TRAIL-Control off and if
possible lock it with a locking pin.
WARNING
Risk of accident through lateral movement of the trailed implement
In road traffic, TRAIL-Control can lead the trailed implement to the side of the tractor track. This
may cause a traffic accident.
Before you drive on a road:
◦ Steer the trailed implement into the middle position.
◦ Switch off TRAIL-Control.
◦ Lock TRAIL-Control.
WARNING
Risk of accident with uncalibrated TRAIL-Control
If the middle position is not calibrated, the trailed implement may move with an offset relative to the
tractor's tracks. This may cause a traffic accident.
Before you drive on a road:
◦ Calibrate TRAIL-Control.
◦ Ensure that when driving straight ahead, the trailed implement is pulled in a line behind the
tractor.
◦ Switch off TRAIL-Control.
◦ Lock TRAIL-Control.
Locking TRAIL-Control
If the drawbar can be locked with a locking pin, the system can monitor this locking device with a lock
sensor. As long as the lock sensor detects locking, the system will be blocked. During this time, the
hydraulic valves cannot be controlled.
To deactivate TRAIL-Control for driving on roads:
1.
Activate manual mode.
