Equipment

ManualTrack

The ManualTrack is used for track correction on slopes, making the sprayer drive a little uphill and follow the track of the rear
tractor wheels. The ManualTrack can easily be operated with a toggle switch in the hydraulic control unit (Z-versions) or with
the tractors hydraulic lever (Y-version).

IntelliTrack

The IntelliTrack will make the sprayer automatically follow the tractor when turning on headland. The IntelliTrack can easily
be operated with the hydraulic control unit. IntelliTrack has an integrated safety feature which prevents oversteering 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 IntelliTrack is limited to speeds below 30 km/t. Driving in "Auto" with IntelliTrack will trigger an overspeed alarm and
sprayer will automatically align.
±
WARNING! During road transport the drawbar should be aligned in centre position and mechanically locked (if fitted)
- see "Tracking drawbar transport lock (optional)" on page 37. Refer to the HC 5500 controller instruction book for
specific instructions.
÷
NOTE! IntelliTrack requires the HC 5500 controller. More information about the controller can be found in the seperate
instruction book.

Driving technique for IntelliTrack

A trailer with IntelliTrack behaves differently than a normal trailer. In
tracking position the vehicle centre of gravity is displaced more outward
compared to the vehicle centre 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.
