Operation

Danger to life due to automatically controlled machine!
When working with the autopilot activated, the driver must act particularly carefully and
prudently so that he can respond if people and material assets are at risk.
• Ensure that there is nobody within a radius of 50 m around the forage harvester.
• The driver must not leave the forage harvester cab while the autopilot is operating.
• While the autopilot is in operation, the driver must regularly check the direction in which the
machine is moving and its travel path to be able to take over manual control of the forage
harvester immediately in the event of a hazardous situation or if obstructions or
interruptions come up in the vehicle's path.
• After using the autopilot and before leaving the field, the autopilot must always be switched
off on the release switch autopilot.
The autopilot is an optional additional feature which automatically guides the forage harvester
on a row of thin-stemmed plants.
The autopilot is available only in maize mode with mounted EasyCollect maize header and
autopilot equipment (optional).
Prerequisites:
– The diesel engine is running.
– The driver's seat is occupied.
– Release switch "road/field" is set to field mode.
– Release switch "traction drive" is switched on.
– Release switch "Autopilot" is switched on.
During harvesting, preferably drive in the following modes:
• For front attachments with the row tracers in the outer tips in the "row tracer links or right"
mode.
• For front attachments with the row tracer in the centre in the "both row tracers" mode.
Now, the following modes can be used:
• Both row tracers
• Row tracer automatic
• Row tracer mirrored, automatic
Setting row tracer mode, see page 195.
