Safety regulations
With exception of the driver, no other person should ride in the driver’s area of the vehicle fitted with the steering
system. Additional persons could distract or block visibility of the driver and prevent him from operating and
observing the steering system.
The presence of a rider on a passenger seat is only acceptable for brief observations or training purpose. The
passenger seat is never considered a children’s seat. Only experienced persons, with the operation of the
machine, should be considered for schooling on a machine which is fitted with the steering system.
Pay special attention that no children are near or on the vehicle, which is fitted with the steering system. This
is important to be aware of as soon as the motor is running. Children are unpredictable and supervision is
limited when operating the steering system.
Before starting field work, get comfortable with the use of the system and the vehicle. As soon as the steering
system is activated, a responsible adult must be in charge of supervision and monitoring. In dangerous situations
it is always safer to turn off the system and drive by hand in order to avoid personal injury or material damage.
The steering system is automatically deactivated when the driver‘s seat is abandoned. Use the main switch
to additionally shut it off.
Be prepared to steer by hand at the end of the field or track, since the system is not able to turn the machine
on the headland.
Warning!
Never activate the steering system while driving on public roads! For safety reasons, it is
advised to keep at least one hand on the steering wheel when using the steering system at speeds
higher than 6 mph. In the event of a malfunction, action can be taken immediately.
