18.5.10 Automatic steering system
Danger to life due to automatically controlled machine!
The forage harvester with activated autopilot is automatically controlled and is monitored only
by the driver while driving. This means that people near the machine and along the route of the
machine are in danger.
• Use the autopilot in open country exclusively for automatically guiding the forage harvester
on a row of thin-stemmed plants or with a GPS-based steering system.
• Do not use the machine with activated autopilot on public highways, in yard areas or near
people.
Danger to life due to automatically controlled machine!
If the autopilot is incorrectly installed or if the components of the autopilot have been tampered
with, people near the forage harvester, which has an activated autopilot, are in danger, as the
machine may make unexpected movements.
• The autopilot may be installed by an authorised service centre only.
• Do not make any changes to the safety-relevant elements of the autopilot or to hydraulic,
electrical or electronic components of the autopilot.
Danger to life due to automatically controlled machine!
Before starting up the autopilot, check that the controllable safety elements function.
• Check whether the autopilot switches off if the steering wheel is moved abruptly or if the
driver leaves the driver's seat.
Visually check that the row tracers, steering angle sensor as well as the visible hoses and
wiring are in full working order (i.e. free of mechanical damage and leaks).
