The tractor is equipped with electronic components whose functions can be influenced by electroma-
gnetic signals from other units. This may present danger to personnel unless the following recommen-
dations are observed.
If at a later date the tractor is fitted with electrical or electronic equipment and/or parts connected to the
on-board supply voltage, it is the responsibility of the user to check for possible interference with the
tractor electronics or other parts. This is particularly important for:
Coupler connections
● Do not connect to measuring connections or sensors since this may interfere with control functions
(EPC, etc.).
Power used by couplers.
● Voltage troughs and peaks may lead to unintended error messages.
Short-wave transmitters.
● Emissions without a special aerial may cause malfunctions (EPC, etc.).
It is particularly important to ensure that all subsequently installed electrical and electronic components
comply with EMC Directive 89/336/EEC in the relevant accepted version, and are marked with the CE
identification.

Subsequent installation of mobile communication systems
For the subsequent installation of mobile communication systems (e.g. radio, telephone) the following
requirements must be met:
● Only equipment complying with national regulations may be installed.
● The equipment must be securely installed.
● Portable or mobile equipment used within the vehicle is permissible only when connected to a se-
curely fitted external aerial.
● The transmitting component must be installed well clear the vehicle electronics.
● Make sure the aerial is fitted properly with a good earth contact between aerial and vehicle body.
