Important Safety Information
Role of Operator
As with other navigation guidance systems within vehicles, the operator must still pay
attention to driving the vehicle. To avoid serious injury or death, operators should not
be distracted by other tasks and should be prepared to respond to field conditions.
The operator must stay seated while the vehicle is moving.
Manual Override
The operator must stop following the path displayed by Outback S-Lite if it is unsafe to
proceed, such as when an obstacle is in the line of travel or there is an emergency.
Outback S-Lite cannot identify obstacles or hazards in the field, only the operator can
do this. To stop following the displayed path, depress the brake or turn the steering
wheel in either direction.
Tractor Overturns
Overturns account for the largest number of agricultural vehicle-related fatalities each
year on farms. Overturns are more likely to occur on slopes. Outback S-Lite cannot
identify environments that pose an increased risk of overturn, only the operator can
do this.
Collisions with People and Objects
The second leading cause of agricultural vehicle-related fatalities occurs when
vehicles run over people. Outback S-Lite cannot identify bystanders or other objects,
such as trees, fences, boulders, and other equipment. The operator must stop
following the path indicated by Outback S-Lite to avoid people and objects.
Operator Position
You must manually control the direction and speed of the tractor. Always remain in
the operator’s position in the tractor when using Outback S-Lite.
Installing Outback S-Lite
Before installing Outback S-Lite inspect the vehicle and perform any needed
maintenance, such as a loose steering wheel, wheels out of alignment, uneven tire
