components.
Text-module
The tractor is equipped with electronic components whose functions can be influenced by electroma-
gnetic signals from other units. This may constitute a danger - follow the safety instructions below, to
avoid injuries.
When installing additional electrical and electronic equipment and/or components in the machine, and
connecting them to the on-board electrical system, it is the user's responsibility to check for possible
interference with the tractor electronic system. This is particularly important for:
Connection of consumers.
● Never connect any equipment to sensing components (sensors) since this may interfere with con-
trol functions (EPC, comfort control, etc.).
Power used by consumers.
● Voltage dips or spikes may lead to spurious error messages.
Short-wave transmitters.
● Transmissions without a special antenna can cause malfunctions (EPC, comfort control, etc.).
Make sure that all subsequently installed electrical and electronic components comply with the rele-
vant version of EMC guideline 89/336/EEC, and that they carry the CE symbol.
