Equipment

SafeTrack

The SafeTrack will make the sprayer automatically follow the tractor when turning on headland. The SafeTrack can easily be
operated with the hydraulic control unit. SafeTrack has an integrated safety feature which prevents over-steering when the
driving speed is too high for the given turning radius. If a TankGauge is fitted, the tank filling level is also taken into account.
The SafeTrack is limited to speeds below 19 mph (30 km/h) Driving in "Auto" with SafeTrack will trigger an overspeed alarm
and sprayer will automatically align.
±
WARNING! During road transport the drawbar must be aligned in center position. Refer to the HC 6500/9500
controller instruction book for specific instructions.

NOTE! IntelliTrack requires the HC 6500/9500 or ISOBUS controller. More information about the controller can be
found in the separate instruction book.

Driving technique for SafeTrack

A trailer with SafeTrack behaves differently than a normal trailer. In
tracking position the vehicle center of gravity is displaced more outward
compared to the vehicle center line of a normal trailer. Compared to a
conventional trailer a steered trailer has decreased stability when
turning, especially when turning on hillsides (B).
To avoid overbalancing, pay attention to these guidelines:
• Avoid sudden, tight turns.
• Slow down before entering a curve or turning, and drive with a
constant, low speed during the turn.
• 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.
• Be careful when turning on uneven ground.
• Set the track width (A) as wide as possible.
• The proper function of the hydraulic system is essential to obtain good stability.
• A filled rinsing tank will increase 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.
