For old housing systems until ´93 article number 302915 is to be used. 3.2. 12V Power Supply The TRAIL-Control is being power supplied through the switching box of the implement. In case no socket is available, you can obtain a special battery cable with article number 312154 .
Warning: If the 10 cm are undershot it can happen that the bar falls off during the drive Fix the mounting angle on the drawbar. This serves for the absorption of the angle transmitter when the machine is moved from the tractor. ______________________________________________________________________________ Copyright Müller-Elektronik GmbH & Co.

Bend the bar so that it run parallel to the drawbar through the angle support. Fix the angle transmitter on the drawbar. The bar should run at least 2 cm through the angle support. ______________________________________________________________________________ Copyright Müller-Elektronik GmbH & Co.

3.4.2.4. Potentiometer check with multi meter Both potentiometers can be examined with a multi meter. The voltage can be measured in the switching box at the connector of the potentiometers. The TRAIL-Control computer must be switched on. Attention! The hydraulics must be switched off to prevent erratic movement of the machine.
As long as the steering is locked, all lamps will be lit. When the start key is released the unit will be switched off again.

If it is necessary to change the working direction, only the hoses may be changed. The electrical connections must be always at the same place as described in the picture above. This is important because of the different current the coils work with. ______________________________________________________________________________ Copyright Müller-Elektronik GmbH & Co.

4.4. The Display Devices In addition to the control lamps in the keys the TRAIL-Control has 4 lamps to display certain modes of the device. 4.4.1. Control Left Lamp This control light burns when tractor is making a left turn and the controller is active. It turns out when the controlling process has been finished.

5.2. Learning Final Stops The mechanical final stop of the steering should be learned by the TRAIL-Control in order for the device to shut off properly. This helps avoiding overheating of the hydraulic system and rough polling of the final stops. Please proceed as follows.
5.3. Return to basic tuning TRAIL-Control contains a basic tuning for your implement that is active when delivered to you. You can alter these data following the procedures above. In case you want to get back your original tuning please follow the instructions below.
Carry out basic tuning Too much play between Reduce the play coupler and draw bar Wrong machine type selected Check the DIP-switches inside the TRAIL-Control unit. No regulation Final stops are learned wrong Learn final stops (chapter 5.2) If this does not help,...

This version must be used for tractors with standard (Open Centre) hydraulics. Also it can be used at tractors with Load Sensing hydraulics. In this case only the TRAIL-Control valve is connected to the tractor. Other functions like boom lift and lower are controlled with a separate valve on the tractor.

Hydraulic System Closed Centre and "N" as Flow Through This version must be used for tractors with Closed Centre hydraulics. In this case the TRAIL-Control valve is connected to the tractor. Other functions like boom lift and lower are controlled with a separate valve block, which is connected to “N”.
This version can be used for tractors with Load Sensing hydraulics. For this the whole system must be prepared for Load Sensing. Otherwise the Open Centre version can be used at a Load Sensing tractor (See chapters 8.1 and 8.2). ______________________________________________________________________________ Copyright Müller-Elektronik GmbH & Co.
