• Try not to make the turns too tight (figure 4 12) - drive on a little and then start the turn (figure 4 11).
• When starting a route, the barn cleaner has to follow the wall a little (not straight ahead), since it is not possible
to commence with a turn. The barn cleaner will otherwise bump into the charger unit.
• Avoid programming in routes where reversing is required.
• Routes cannot be modified later. The only possible change is to alter the speed for part of a route (e.g. when
passing the feeding gate).
• The best routes are a mixture of wall following and ultrasound tracking.
• Once a route is programmed in, it is store in memory when the "store route Yes/No" choice is confirmed.
• You can make a backup of all the routes and settings. This can be done by "Routes > Backup > Create a
backup of the current routes" or going back to "E-link / Print / Cancel".
4.4.2 Installation
A number of instructions are given below that apply during the initial period after you start using the barn cleaner
(the cattle have to get used to it).
• Start with a small route (for example, just cleaning up behind 5 or 10 stalls) and then go back to the charger
unit. This can be done with wall following or ultrasound tracking at a value of 600. This value will make the
barn cleaner travel a small distance behind the stall planking. Try to avoid having the cows herded together
