Driving technique for SafeTrack

This articulated trailer behaves differently than a normal trailer. In
tracking position the vehicle centre of gravity is displaced more for-
ward compared to the vehicle centre line of a normal trailer.
Compared to a conventional trailer with steering drawbar this articu-
lated trailer has increased stability when turning, especially when
turning on hillsides.
To avoid overbalancing, pay attention to these guidelines:
1. Avoid sudden, tight turns.
2. Slow down before entering a curve or turning, and drive with a
constant, low speed during the turn.
3. Never slow down too fast, never brake heavily and never stop
suddenly in a curve, or when turning on a hillside, when the sprayer
is articulated.
4. Be careful when turning on uneven ground.
5. Set the track gauge as wide as possible.
6. The proper function of the hydraulic system is essential to obtain
good stability.
DANGER! No persons are allowed in the operations area of the sprayer when steering is unlocked!
WARNING! Never articulate steering when boom is in transport position.
DANGER! The system has been calibrated during driving on flat fields. Special attention should be made when dri-
ving in hilly conditions.
DANGER! When driving on fields with deep tracks, then the speed must be decreased.
DANGER! For instructions on calibration of the SafeTrack system of the sprayer, then refer to the controllers instruc-
tion book.
