Offsets Steering modes
Offset steering modes are useful when spreading in soft ground conditions, the offset
enables the weight of the vehicle to be spread over four sets of tracks. These modes can
also be used when operating across side sloping land, the rear steer offset can be trimmed
so as to maintain directional stability.
Offset RH. To operate select and then by using the red and orange buttons the
degree of offset can be adjusted, the degree of offset will be indicated as shown below on
the scale between 0 and 20 with the degree of offset indicated in the ‘window’ above the
scale. When the ignition is switched off, the offset will default to 1 as a safety feature. It is
therefore advisable to record the desired offset(s) so this can be quickly attained on repeat
operations.
Offset LH. Operate as above.
Offset Auto. Having set the desired offsets for both RH
& LH, Offset Auto can be selected. If this mode is active the
steering will automatically switch between Offset and 4 wheel
steer mode when the applicator is switched on/off, to enable a
handland turn to be made.
